We performed a comparison between JBoss and Tomcat based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Server solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."JBoss has made it very easy to implement web applications."
"The greatest benefit of JBoss is that it was procured by IBM, thereby offering exceptional support for our banking operations."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It is a Java-based product, so it is pretty straightforward. It is pretty easy from a developer's perspective. It is also pretty reliable and scalable."
"The solution's support is very good for repairing components."
"The support is fast and reliable."
"JBoss's configuration is straightforward and easy."
"The most valuable thing about JBoss is how easy it is to install and manage it on-premise, making the process simple."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to host applications."
"The solution has very robust functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the free EE server."
"One of the most valuable features of Tomcat is its compatibility with the Apache web server and its ease of configuration. It is simple to set up and maintain and allows for easy management of database connections, transactions, and isolation. Overall, Tomcat is a user-friendly application server that makes it easy to manage various aspects of database interactions."
"I like the solution’s ease of use."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The ease of use of Tomcat is its most valuable feature. Once we grade particular software, we simply download it and we keep an eye on if Tomcat is working."
"The product could be cheaper."
"Having the support combined with Red Hat support would be an improvement."
"In general, the support of the ERPC would be really good due to the fact that, so far, I have not seen it."
"Sometimes the console has a glitch."
"The stability of the solution could improve with Microsoft Windows."
"It can have automation features. Everybody is focused right now on automation. In terms of saving cost, automation is always the first thing that comes to light."
"The solution sometimes crashed and had some compatibility issues with the DevOps JAR file."
"JBoss is not as reliable and stable as WebLogic."
"If it could support the driver's VIN, they can run natively without the GBM. Now, we can run what we call the native cloud application that doesn't require GBM. If Tomcat can support that, it's going to improve performance and backup."
"I would personally like it if the admin console would show more information specifically about memory being used."
"The current procedure appears complex and could benefit from a more straightforward solution."
"Sometimes we face issues with the private and public networks and ensuring that once Tomcat is installed, that it is secure."
"The solution cannot host .NET applications."
"Tomcat could be a little bit more innovative. Tomcat could come up with a framework that's more lightweight and purely targeted at Java applications."
"Tomcat needs to improve its stability."
"Security integration in Tomcat is complicated. We need to use another tool to solve the security issues."
