Erick  Karanja - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at Cellulant Kenya
A robust enterprise Java capabilities with complex configuration involved, making it a powerful choice for scalable applications while requiring a learning curve
When running applications in the cloud, scalability is highly dependent on how you configure it. Factors such as the number of instances you want to scale, and the threshold for scaling based on the quantity of messages or the amount of data, are all customizable based on your application's needs.
Harsh Dabas - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Jakarta EE's best features include REST services, configuration, and persistent facilities. It's also incredibly cloud friendly."
"Configuring, monitoring, and ensuring observability is a straightforward process."
"The feature that allows a variation of work space based on the application being used."
"Eclipse is now on a good track and they have a very good interface."
"The solution is scalable, and approximately ten users are utilizing this solution in our organization."
"The product's most valuable feature is dependency installation."
"There are a lot of features that are very fast in npm, even though it was developed 10 or 12 years back."
"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."
"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 reversal build, gendered build, migrated PCA, and CT features are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of NPM is to trigger APMs."
"NPM is user-friendly, has a smooth workflow, and has great security."
 

Cons

"All the customization and all the plugins we can install make the interface too slow and heavy in some situations."
"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."
"It would be great if we could have a UI-based approach or easily include the specific dependencies we need."
"The only room for improvement for npm is their audit capabilities; otherwise, I am satisfied with the solution."
"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."
"NPM can improve the package manager."
"The library could be updated."
"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."
"The product should be compatible with various programming languages, including both native and upcoming languages."
"The product can be improved by updating the libraries. Previously, libraries were missing, and we had difficulty building them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate Jakarta EE's pricing seven out of ten."
"We use the open-source version, so it is free."
"NPM is an open-source solution."
"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."
