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 is a scalable tool."
"The product integrates well with Java applications."
"The support is fast and reliable."
"The stability is great."
"The tool's most beneficial feature is its scalability. People with limited technical knowledge can quickly grasp its functions with a brief introduction. The tool's ease of use makes it a plug-and-play solution, reducing the effort required to train users on its usage."
"JBoss's configuration is straightforward and easy."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The high availability is great."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution integrates smoothly with the development environment. The integration process is straightforward. You only need to configure the project in your IDE. With intelligent features, the integration becomes even easier. Once integrated, deployment into our application is straightforward. Previously, we sometimes relied on manual deployment processes or used a separate application manager. However, with this solution, deployment is simplified."
"Tomcat is a simple, light environment, whereas the full Red Hat Fuse solution is heavier."
"The most valuable feature of Tomcat is its ability to export libraries into different instances so that I can use it not only in one application but in multiple applications."
"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, where one is high price and ten is low price. The pricing is pretty low."
"The solution has very robust functionality."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to host applications."
"The product is easy to use."
"In terms of monitoring, the old version was somewhat limited in flexibility, lacking the ability to easily adjust configurations."
"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 documentation could be better. When we have questions, we need to check multiple websites. There isn't one place listing a set of common problems and how to fix them."
"It would be great if the product came with a feature where the remarks made on the board can be saved on an individual's laptop to make it more user-friendly."
"The solution sometimes crashed and had some compatibility issues with the DevOps JAR file."
"Having the support combined with Red Hat support would be an improvement."
"Sometimes the console has a glitch."
"The solution's pricing could be improved because it is not cheap."
"It will be useful if a direct report concerning a particular server configuration or application usage is readily available in the dashboard."
"Our biggest challenge is that the Tomcat servers are not hosted locally."
"Sometimes, the UI part does not run properly, or the server goes down."
"In the solution, we are using the terminal to enter command line codes for operations and management, this is difficult for me. It would be better if we had some administrator UI tools for this."
"The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement."
"Sometimes we face issues with the private and public networks and ensuring that once Tomcat is installed, that it is secure."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss."
