well, first of all. I haven't used RR at all... so I can't really
compare. But here is why we chose Rush over RR in terms of features.
1.) You can use as many applications as you want without having to pay
an extra fee. With RR you need to pay a fee. As we are a post house we
not only do 3D, but a lot of projects are also done in Combustion and
After Effects.
2.) Scalability, this is where Rush really shines out. You can write
your own render scripts (quite easily) to also do other automated
tasks. It's totaly open and you can modify it as you wish. This is
probably the number "ONE" when it comes to chosing.
3.) Stability. Rush has never failed on me as a render dispatcher
(batchserv *shudder*).
4.) Platforms. It runs on Windows (32 & 64), Linux, Irix, Mac OSX.
I hope it helps

just out of curiosity, what justifies the huge price gap of rush over
royal render and why do you use it? sooner or later i have to look for
a "real" render management solution myself.
