After using Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) and enhancing the configuration files, the tickets have been reduced by half, and the logs have decreased and now provide good information instead of just vague numbers filling the file systems.

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) has saved a lot of time in rapid deployment of applications, and for an existing migration project which was stipulated for a timeline of six months, it just took around two and a half months, specifically 80 days, achieving the target of completing within three months, along with the payment subscription being very nominal and affordable.

We’ve seen a marked reduction in downtime and a major boost in system stability, resulting in fewer outages, and one of the biggest wins has been the cost savings especially compared to Oracle WebLogic thanks to JBoss’s more affordable licensing model.

Once we did that, our application experienced a surge of around almost 64% or 65%, an increase in the transaction speed and also in the customer onboarding journey.

The initial configuration and setup can be complex, especially for new administrators, so a simpler installation and configuration experience would be helpful.

In my experience, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) is approximately ninety percent stable. However, I sometimes encounter issues where deployment fails after restart or JBoss restarts itself due to heap memory issues or configuration changes within the application, leading me to conclude it is ninety percent stable.

I would select seven because even though it has its advantages, it does lack some flexibility.

Scalability depends on the application type. For stateless applications, there is no problem scaling horizontally, and multiple instances of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) can be deployed, however, there are sometimes limitations in the possibilities available.

You cannot compare Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) with WebSphere, for example, or with WebLogic, but from a peace of mind, it is fine.

Support-wise, JBoss offers a lot of documentation, but beginners might find it a bit hard to follow at first.

I believe that Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) still counts weaknesses and disadvantages, such as there could be better memory management.

I would like to see improved booting of applications altogether on one page to manage all data instances from one location, similar to an AWS console.
