Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use the solution to create microservices."
"Provides a lightweight runtime."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of Spring MVC are the modules, such as Spring Admin. All the Spring solutions work well together and are simple to maintain, such as the load balancing on the client side."
"The solution can scale."
"Spring has a speedy development process with a lightweight framework."
"Dependency Injection is one of the major features which makes our life easier using Spring. It is well documented and has active communities, which provide us enormous help."
"The solution is open-source and free to use."
"When we shifted from our legacy frameworks to the Spring framework, we discovered that Spring definitely made our development easier. One good example is that there is a lot of boiler plate code available that you don't have to write from scratch, making the development of web applications a much simpler process."
"Spring MVC is fast and reliable."
"We have found Spring is easy to use and learn."
 

Cons

"Deployment of microservers in the Kubernetes environment is difficult."
"The tool needs to improve its messaging."
"Its performance speed could be improved while working on the browser."
"The documentation for Spring MVC could improve."
"The newer versions of Spring MVC have released a lot of features that we are not using right now because, in many cases, we are limited to running older versions. As such, it would be nice if Spring were to improve support for upgrading to newer versions, especially for legacy applications."
"It can be difficult for a basic user to understand the concepts in this solution, such as inversion of control."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"The solution could be simplified quite a bit. It's unnecessarily complicated in some areas."
"Adding more modules takes about 10 to 15 minutes each. It would be nice if they could reduce that part. The deployment time is a little high."
"Spring MVC could improve the integration with DevOps and other applications."
"Spring IDE​ needs some work and improvement. We have faced many issues when adding third-party Eclipse plugins."
