Hello All,

Myself and a colleague of mine we're looking at Hibernate and are very
interested in its power.

I wanted to know what you folks thought about Hibernate and what
alternatives may exist.

We are pretty much aware of Hibernate's power. Although we are unaware
  of any drawbacks to that framework.

Thanks
