Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."It is scalable."
"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"The solution offers good security."
"The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"We use the solution to develop and deliver products."
"The case management and its integration with process design are good features."
"This is one of the best tools to support the business and the way we work, and the numerous processes we need to implement."
"IBM's deployment box is one huge black box. We can create all the services with our own code or without a codebase, however, we have a huge amount of space with practically no limitation."
"With the Process Center, I can go to one place and view what all the environments are doing."
"Scalability is good. In the time that I have been there, we have added more JVMs to help with the increased workload, so it does scale."
"Its workflow and integration with SAP are the most valuable features. It is also a stable solution."
"Its most valuable features are usability and integration with other IBM products."
"The product's deployment phase was very easy."
"It is very usable and easy to understand. Antivirus and VPN are the main features being used now. It allows my clients to access the network from home, which was very crucial because of the pandemic."
"The most valuable feature is AppFabric's hosting solution, which is what we need for running workflows."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"The price and the overall installation process could be improved."
"Importing and exporting between multiple environments is more difficult with other tools."
"IBM BPM's price could be improved."
"Performance in the development environment space. I know that they have been taking it off the desktop version and putting on the web, and it is not 100% yet."
"The constant switch between Eclipse and its web versions can be annoying and confusing."
"They could provide case studies to investigate and understand the functionality of business processes before development."
"If you want to use IBM BPM, you will have to invest a lot of money for licenses and you need to learn that there are limitations in developing applications. You cannot create anything you want."
"The interface is limited and should improve in the future."
"Microsoft will stop supporting the product next year, and we can't run unsupported programs in our systems."
"Its price and licensing policy can be improved. It could be a little cheaper. Licensing is sometimes confusing. There are so many different options. It is difficult to find out what to buy or what to choose for my necessity."
"The product is unable to connect with different cloud services."
