We performed a comparison between Oracle Fusion Middleware 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 is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."
"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 Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable."
"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."
"The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"The solution integrates smoothly with the development environment. The integration process is straightforward. You only need to configure the project in your IDE. With intelligent features, the integration becomes even easier. Once integrated, deployment into our application is straightforward. Previously, we sometimes relied on manual deployment processes or used a separate application manager. However, with this solution, deployment is simplified."
"The most valuable feature is how simple it is to deploy the solution."
"Tomcat is a simple, light environment, whereas the full Red Hat Fuse solution is heavier."
"We can use Apache Tomcat for Java server applications."
"Tomcat is easy to handle, its installation process does not take much time, and its server speed is also very good compared to other servers."
"It is easy to set up."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to host applications."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."
"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."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications."
"The product should improve BPEL features."
"The documentation might not be good enough for new users."
"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."
"All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."
"Tomcat's performance is less than other solutions like IBM WebSphere or JBoss."
"Vulnerability is one of the areas that can be considered an issue in the solution."
"It will be useful if a direct report concerning a particular server configuration or application usage is readily available in the dashboard."
"Security integration in Tomcat is complicated. We need to use another tool to solve the security issues."
"The stability must be improved."
"Tomcat needs to improve its user interface."
"I would also like to see a dashboard with some integrations in order to see the logs and trace performance easier."
"Performance optimization is an area of concern in Tomcat that should be made better."
