|---|---|---|
| Java developer at Marlabs Inc. | 4.5 | I find Spring MVC efficient due to its monolithic architecture and auto-configuration features, which streamline REST API development by minimizing code and fetching required packages through annotations. Previously, I used CodeJava.net before transitioning to Spring MVC after learning STS installation. |
| Jaspersoft SME at NA | 4.0 | We used Spring MVC to create APIs connected to JasperReports via an adapter, though I preferred direct database connections for better performance. Despite some error messages related to AWS S3 bucket storage, the solution is stable and scalable. |
| Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I use Spring MVC to address our business problems, valuing its modules like Spring Admin for ease of maintenance and integration. However, I find the documentation lacking and would appreciate more built-in functionalities to minimize reliance on third-party solutions. |
| Chief Technology Officer at Digital Solutions Expert | 5.0 | I use Spring MVC to create microservices and rest services, making it ideal for backend integration with front-end layers. It's highly valued for its strong community support and robust security features due to frequent updates. |
| Java Software Engineer (Future Innovator) at Telenor Microfinance Bank (TMB) | 4.5 | I work for a financial institution in Pakistan, and we use Spring MVC mainly for microservices in our payment app. I find Spring MVC to be fast and reliable. There are no listed improvements or alternative solutions we considered. |
| Professor at UFERSA | 4.5 | I use Spring MVC to write APIs due to its simplicity and easy configuration with Java notations. However, recent changes in Spring Security have complicated using JW Token for frontend communication. I switched from JavaServer Faces for its simplicity. |
