We performed a comparison between IIS 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 solution is highly reliable."
"IIS is useful for the deployment of web applications...Its stability is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and easy to understand."
"The solution is easy to use, easy to maintain and isn't too technical."
"The solution is the easiest way to publish applications which have been designed by older development tools."
"It's very easy to publish."
"It is an easy-to-use and secure program."
"The product is flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the free EE server."
"It is a robust solution."
"Tomcat's best feature is the open source server. It's a flexible and lightweight solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it supports Java Enterprise."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the general web server features."
"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."
"It's very stable. No problems at all. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"I love Tomcat for its scalability, reliability, availability, and steadiness."
"At the moment, we have big problems with stability, and I'm not very happy at the moment. So, the stability could be improved."
"Scalability issues and security concerns need attention from Microsoft."
"The solution must improve the integration between its databases."
"IIS could improve by having some features related to ASR and HTTPS certificate generation."
"The price of the solution could be less to improve."
"The initial setup could be made easier."
"The solution should improve the cluster environment and load balancing."
"We've never had any issues with the solution, but it's still nice to have overall improvements on it. It could be easier and faster to use, for example."
"Technical support is limited."
"Sometimes we face issues with the private and public networks and ensuring that once Tomcat is installed, that it is secure."
"If it could support the driver's VIN, they can run natively without the GBM. Now, we can run what we call the native cloud application that doesn't require GBM. If Tomcat can support that, it's going to improve performance and backup."
"Tomcat is not user-friendly. I would also like to be able to have multiple applications run at the same time."
"Tomcat's performance is less than other solutions like IBM WebSphere or JBoss."
"Sometimes, the UI part does not run properly, or the server goes down."
"It would be great if they offered more integration of monitoring tools."
"Java functions should be built better into the solution."
