IBM WebSphere Application Server Reviews

It's scalable and very reliable.

The incredible support that we get from IBM is of primary importance, that I see, because anytime we have a problem, help is just a phone call away.

I'd like to see the ability to build clusters made a little bit easier. It is kind of a manual process right now and this would just help save time and reduce resources.

The process is only partially automated and still requires significant manual effort to complete the configuration of an operational WebSphere cluster.

We have yet to max out the IBM MQ cluster. We have not been able to find the limits of the scalability yet.

We have used the technical support several times, successfully. It was great.

This solution was already in place when I was hired, so I didn't have a choice.

It wasn't easy, but nothing in IT is. The setup was pretty straightforward and any problems that I had, I was able to find the answers on the IBM Website.

It's an awesome solution. Compared to everything else that's out there in the market right now, IBM MQ is hands down the best solution available and that's based on 40 years of IT experience.

Invest in training. It's a complex product, but once you learn how it works, it's fantastic.

Reliability and the use of cutting-edge technology are important factors while selecting a vendor. Everything that's already in IBM MQ is state-of-the-art technology.

We use it for a web application related to insurance.

The VPN service is quite useful. Our main application runs on a close integration with Jira platforms. To access it remotely, we need WebSphere and a VPN server.  

Sometimes, I feel WebSphere runs a bit slow. It might be loading unnecessary libraries, impacting its performance compared to other application servers.

So, better performance is my main request.

My company has been using this solution for five to six years.

Once it's up and running, it's quite stable.

It is a scalable product. However, the IT team responsible for installation should have some knowledge of Unix operating systems since the platform runs on a Unix and Linux system.

The initial setup is relatively easy. The complete deployment time depends on the application. Some might take as little as eight hours, while others require more time.

We usually have a team of two or three people handling it. 

The pricing is a little expensive. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
