We performed a comparison between Oracle Application Development Framework and Spring Boot based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Java Frameworks solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of the Oracle Application Development Framework is the rapid development and the security it provides."
"There are several valuable features. First is the fast deployment. Also the ease of use."
"The single sign-on features applied to Oracle Cloud is a valuable feature. All parts of this application are compatible with single sign-on, where you have a security feature that is very good in Oracle Cloud."
"It's database-centric, and it's seemingly easy to use the model–view–controller pattern that's built-in."
"The best part of Oracle ADF is being able to easily write code in Java with JavaBean files."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of integration with other Oracle products."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the business components."
"We can create objects that allow us to develop pages and applications very rapidly."
"The most valuable feature of Spring Boot is it reduces the configuration needed. The configuration is handled by the solution. For example, if you're going to develop a web service, we needed to have a Tomcat web server and had to deploy the services and do tests. However, with Spring Boot, the default server comes with Spring Boot which reduces the task of doing all the configuration."
"This is a pretty light solution. It's not too heavy."
"The API gateway and cloud configuration allows us to configure the properties outside of the service with respect to enrollment."
"It's very easy to get started. It's very quick. Most of the configurations are already available. So not much time is spent on setting up things. One can quickly set up and then get rolling."
"The configuration setup in Spring Boot is pretty simplified compared to Hibernate ORM."
"Spring Boot could improve its integration with the major cloud providers. Connectivity with cloud solutions isn't easy compared to other frameworks like Django and Python."
"It is stable."
"This is a stable solution that is being used in the HR space."
"I use JDeveloper along with ADF and, unfortunately, JDeveloper is a very slow tool. It takes a lot of time to accomplish things with it during both development and deployment. I hope that Oracle will improve JDeveloper to make it run faster."
"Oracle ADF needs more components and the layout can be improved."
"Oracle Application Development Framework is set to go out of support over the next three years but they should provide support for the solution for the longer term. Additionally, there needs to be more overall optimization and specifically in webpage rendering. The solution uses a lot of resources, and in order for them to move forward, they would have to create a smaller resource impact."
"The application needs to be more lightweight and the performance improved."
"Lacks tailoring to geographic regional differences and consistent integration with third parties."
"You need to have Oracle ADF on-premises to build a big project. You need to have a dependable front-end application."
"The UI is very slow and not up to market standard."
"The model layer could be improved for performance because once that part gets bloated, the performance is lacking. So, there is room for performance optimization."
"The services we develop are purely synchronous services, so there's a blocking and waiting state. This is a big problem in microservices."
"Spring Boot could improve the interface, error handling, and integration performance."
"Building a new product in Spring Boot can take a long time since the solution uses reflection. This is one area the solution could be improved."
"Nothing really comes to mind in terms of areas of improvement."
"The performance could be better."
"Spring Boot is lacking visibility in terms of how that business process or business rule would look within your application. Because everything has been embedded within the code itself, it disables the visibility. the ability to maintain or even support a specific functionality in a user-friendly manner, where a developer can come up and just adjust that part of that process."
"The solution has some vulnerabilities and fails our security audits, forcing us to keep fixing the solution."
"The cross framework compatibility has some shortcomings. With JUnit Test Runner and Spring Boot, it's really tedious to make them both work to write the test cases."
