First we will go over the strengths and weaknesses of Zend's Cache and then we will move onto comparing the Zend Cache to other, open-source, free cache's.

While smaller businesses where speed is not god, may be fine with the APC and happyto avoid the Cache's hefty price tag, for businesses where speed is critical, its clear that the Zend Cache is the only option. It is a stable, fast, and (editorializing) a very cool product, which is worth its weight in gold.
