"Spring gives you the opportunity to develop architecture in the simplest way possible. It comes with everything you would want in terms of security. If you want to access the database, you have the ability to do that."
"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."
"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."

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its messaging."
"Deployment of microservers in the Kubernetes environment is difficult."
"The most difficult part is deployment of the microservers in the Kubernetes environment and building the mechanisms for automated testing."
"Its performance speed could be improved while working on the browser."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"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."

"It could provide faster performance."
"I expect the solution to offer and include a lot of packages so that it can be configured more easily or the speed level increases, thereby helping it overcome its shortcomings."
"It can be difficult for a basic user to understand the concepts in this solution, such as inversion of control."
