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 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."
"JBoss's configuration is straightforward and easy."
"We can deploy the applications on the JBoss server, so it is easy to manage. It's also easy to add new certificates to the config."
"There's good documentation and a pretty good community surrounding the product."
"The solution has flexibility and stability."
"The greatest benefit of JBoss is that it was procured by IBM, thereby offering exceptional support for our banking operations."
"JBoss is a scalable tool."
"The stability is great."
"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, where one is high price and ten is low price. The pricing is pretty low."
"The most valuable feature is how simple it is to deploy the solution."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability overall is good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the general web server features."
"I like the solution’s ease of use."
"The solution's documentation could be better."
"Logging-related issues in JBoss require improvement."
"It would be great if the product came with a feature where the remarks made on the board can be saved on an individual's laptop to make it more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The login process could be improved."
"The solution sometimes crashed and had some compatibility issues with the DevOps JAR file."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"It will be useful if a direct report concerning a particular server configuration or application usage is readily available in the dashboard."
"Performance optimization is an area of concern in Tomcat that should be made better."
"Technical support is limited."
"Tomcat's performance is less than other solutions like IBM WebSphere or JBoss."
"The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"The stability must be improved."
"Tomcat is not user-friendly. I would also like to be able to have multiple applications run at the same time."
