We performed a comparison between JBoss and Tomcat based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Server solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's technical support is good."
"The stability is great."
"JBoss has made it very easy to implement web applications."
"The greatest benefit of JBoss is that it was procured by IBM, thereby offering exceptional support for our banking operations."
"The solution's support is very good for repairing components."
"We use JBoss mainly for application deployments and application servers."
"The support is fast and reliable."
"The tool's most beneficial feature is its scalability. People with limited technical knowledge can quickly grasp its functions with a brief introduction. The tool's ease of use makes it a plug-and-play solution, reducing the effort required to train users on its usage."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the general web server features."
"We chose to use Tomcat because it's perfect compared to other containers that we have tested."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The most valuable feature of Tomcat is its ability to export libraries into different instances so that I can use it not only in one application but in multiple applications."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the free EE server."
"Tomcat's best feature is the open source server. It's a flexible and lightweight solution."
"The solution's pricing could be improved because it is not cheap."
"The documentation could be better. When we have questions, we need to check multiple websites. There isn't one place listing a set of common problems and how to fix them."
"Logging-related issues in JBoss require improvement."
"The tool's documentation could be improved to explain its usage and functionalities clearly. Having accessible documentation would save time for leaders like me when juniors seek information about it. The documentation should be self-explanatory and guide users on how to utilize the tool."
"It can have automation features. Everybody is focused right now on automation. In terms of saving cost, automation is always the first thing that comes to light."
"The solution's documentation could be better."
"In terms of monitoring, the old version was somewhat limited in flexibility, lacking the ability to easily adjust configurations."
"The stability of the solution could improve with Microsoft Windows."
"The setup is complex and could be improved."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The solution's interface and backup features could be better."
"Tomcat is a polished product that has been around for a long time. It should be simple and high-performing, with the ability to grow and maintain stability. The fewer features it has, the more stable it will be."
"Tomcat needs to improve its user interface."
"Tomcat is not user-friendly. I would also like to be able to have multiple applications run at the same time."
"The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement."
"The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss."
