The best feature that stands out is the strong support for Enterprise Java workloads, along with high stability and transaction management. It provides stability for the services to get deployed, and we can easily manage the transactions that happen via the REST APIs, which is great in that regard. It also provides centralized application management, so if an application is deployed and needs to be used through multiple places, centralized application deployment management is possible. The centralized management clustering capability is very useful for high availability enterprise deployment. This centralized application management is beneficial because the application, the search service we have written in Java, has simplified deployment, and operational control across environments is also easy. It helps our team since it has centralized deployment management, allowing applications to be deployed and updated from a centralized CLI or console, which reduces manual server-by-server management and improves deployment consistency. It also provides easier monitoring and troubleshooting, which is excellent; if an issue occurs, such as the search service failing, we could quickly identify which node or deployment was affected instead of manually checking multiple servers. This has definitely given us positive feedback; that is why we have been using it for around 1.5 years, and it is still coping with our applications. The impact is that application stability has improved quite a bit, and deployment consistency allows us to deploy, update, restart, and check the logs all at once without checking multiple servers, along with improved operational management for Enterprise Java services.
