Featured Reviews

Erick  Karanja - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Puneeth Babu - PeerSpot reviewer
Is scalable, easily approachable, stable, and easy to set up
There are a lot of features that are very fast in npm, even though it was developed 10 or 12 years back. It comes with a bundle or library, so your development time will radically reduce to half. If you need to spin up a new server or you need to have a developer at minimum cost, it can be easily achieved within npm. Overall, I give npm a nine out of ten.

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."
"Jakarta EE's best features include REST services, configuration, and persistent facilities. It's also incredibly cloud friendly."
"The feature that allows a variation of work space based on the application being used."
"The reversal build, gendered build, migrated PCA, and CT features are excellent."
"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 product's most valuable feature is dependency installation."
"The most valuable feature of NPM is to trigger APMs."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"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 library could be updated."
"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."
"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."
"The product should be compatible with various programming languages, including both native and upcoming languages."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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