We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server, Oracle SOA Suite, and Windows Server AppFabric based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The solution offers good security."
"It is scalable."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful."
"Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier."
"Conceptually, how it integrates a lot of essential enterprise process components. That's the most valuable."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"The product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The most valuable feature is AppFabric's hosting solution, which is what we need for running workflows."
"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 product's deployment phase was very easy."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"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."
"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"The GUI for the less experienced users needs some improvement. For some companies, it is hard to configure it if they have not had any experience."
"The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
"An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue."
"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."
"Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."
"The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven."
"Its function options can be improved."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login."
"The product is unable to connect with different cloud services."
"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."
