Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a scalable solution.""It helps scan and mitigates our vulnerabilities using the best protocols to secure our environment.""It's very easy to publish.""The solution is very simple to use and easy to deploy.""It's good and offers good usability.""The solution is very easy to use and offers a quick deployment.""The solution is the easiest way to publish applications which have been designed by older development tools.""IIS is easy to configure in terms of websites and other solutions."

"Data integrity.""Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use.""One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part.""Oracle Fusion is stable.""The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management.""Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution.""The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework.""The scalability is good."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the general web server features.""The scalability overall is good.""The solution has very robust functionality.""Tomcat has connectors like REST requests to connect the front end. Also, some parts of the inter-system communication go through REST. External connections with third parties occasionally involve both REST and SOAP protocols. Tomcat is versatile in accommodating these various communication methods.""We can use Apache Tomcat for Java server applications.""I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, where one is high price and ten is low price. The pricing is pretty low.""Tomcat is a simple, light environment, whereas the full Red Hat Fuse solution is heavier.""The solution is readily available and open-source."

Cons
"IIS's memory management could be improved.""The product could be more compatible with Linux and macOS, particularly when applying user configuration policies.""The documentation of IIS could be better. They are not easily accessible. I had to use YouTube and other online resources to learn how to use the solution properly.""I am using an older version of Windows Server IIS and the general management and navigation to get something done is not as straightforward as I hope it to be. The interface could be improved.""It lacks a few performance improvement tools.""This solution needs to be easier for cases where you want to have an IIS cluster.""The solution must improve the integration between its databases.""IIS could improve by Microsoft Windows improving the update services. We would like to be able to update all systems that are connected. The WSA service has to be in good order to accomplish this."

More IIS Cons →

"The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed.""The price could always be better.""I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes.""Its price can be improved. We are currently looking for more cost-efficiency. It should also have a little bit more flexibility for customizations. The customizations should be quicker.""The documentation might not be good enough for new users.""The product should improve BPEL features.""One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms.""Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware Cons →

"The setup is complex and could be improved.""The current procedure appears complex and could benefit from a more straightforward solution.""If Apache can come up with a better solution to provide better security, that would be ideal.""I would also like to see a dashboard with some integrations in order to see the logs and trace performance easier.""Tomcat needs to improve its stability.""The solution's interface and backup features could be better.""Tomcat is not user-friendly. I would also like to be able to have multiple applications run at the same time.""I would personally like it if the admin console would show more information specifically about memory being used."
