Cloud-friendly but has problems with configuration
I primarily use Jakarta EE as a business enterprise product Jakarta EE's best features include REST services, configuration, and persistent facilities. It's also incredibly cloud friendly. Jakarta EE's configuration could be simpler, which would make it more useful as a developer experience.…

Senior QA Automation Engineer at LogMeIn, Inc.
Automation has boosted test coverage and now supports reliable CI workflows
BrowserStack is able to solve every issue which we have been facing, so I would rate it as a 10 out of 10 in terms of my experience. Regarding pricing, I think the organization takes care of that. I am not really aware of the pricing of this, but I have made some personal projects as well in which I use GitHub Actions for free. We can push our code as well. As of now, I am using the free version for my personal use. For the organization, I think the organization is taking care of the same, so we do not need to bother about it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Configuring, monitoring, and ensuring observability is a straightforward process."
"The feature that allows a variation of work space based on the application being used."
"Jakarta EE's best features include REST services, configuration, and persistent facilities. It's also incredibly cloud friendly."
"The product's most valuable feature is dependency installation."
"It's an open-source setting that's very scalable and easily approachable. I like that you can plug in many features to my product."
"The most valuable feature of NPM is to trigger APMs."
"The reversal build, gendered build, migrated PCA, and CT features are excellent."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"It would be great if we could have a UI-based approach or easily include the specific dependencies we need."
"All the customization and plugins can make the interface too slow and heavy in some situations."
"Jakarta EE's configuration could be simpler, which would make it more useful as a developer experience."
"Some of the libraries that we try to use in npm have issues with security. Also, because it's an open-source solution, I think there are lots of challenges with security. So, the security layer could be improved."
"I would like to see compatible versions, and what new features they will be providing. If it is a useful feature I can merge it. If it is not a usable feature, then I can ignore the newer version."
"NPM can improve the package manager. For the packages we download for our APM studio to trigger our APM driver, it would benefit if we could have the latest version of NuGet Package Manager within the package manager control. For example, Visual Studio would be good. Then it would be easy for us to get the package manager from there instead of Googling it out and matching it with the current version. It would be less time-consuming for us."
"The product should be compatible with various programming languages, including both native and upcoming languages."
"The library could be updated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate Jakarta EE's pricing seven out of ten."
"The licensing cost is around one hundred and fifty dollars on a quarterly basis."
"It's an open-source solution, and there are no hidden fees."
"NPM is an open-source solution."
"We use the open-source version, so it is free."
