Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services.""Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product.""The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions.""The product's initial setup phase is straightforward.""The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages.""The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly.""It's reliable, configurable and generally secure.""Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."

"I found the adapters to be most useful.""We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering.""I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.""The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers.""The most valuable feature of the facility, as the partner link, is to try to use third-party services and logic in your own vehicle to orchestrate the information.""The Oracle SOA Suite has many useful features, and different organizations may place different emphases on the importance of each feature. Certain features are particularly important to the organization, such as the ability to access databases and transform messages, as well as the use of proxy services to secure web services with usernames and passwords. These features can be critical for enabling effective integration and data exchange between systems and applications.""The product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable.""The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements."

Cons
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions.""It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need.""The interface has room for improvement.""In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization.""By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred.""The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management.""Its stability could be better.""I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."

More Apache Web Server Cons →

"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved.""The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven.""I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice.""SOA""They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times.""It's also not developer-friendly.""The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven.""The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."

    Overview

    The Apache HTTP Server Project was founded in 1995 by a group of webmasters, known as The Apache Group, with the aim of developing robust, richly-featured, freely-available and commercial-standard Web (HTTP) server source code. The result was Apache Web Server or Apache HTTP Server, which is an open-source public-domain web server.

    This collaborative project has been enhanced ever since with contributions from the core development team and other volunteers situated all over the globe. Also, hundreds of users of this open-source web server have contributed code, ideas, and documentation. The project falls under The Apache Software Foundation, which manages many open-source projects.

    Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deploy and manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment and management model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management. Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existing IT investments and assets, regardless of the environment (OS, application server, etc.) they run in, or the technology they were built upon. Its easy-to-use, re-use focused, unified application development tooling and end-to-end lifecycle management support further reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.
