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 very simple to use and easy to deploy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use and connects with Microsoft."
"Microsoft's technical support has always been very good."
"IIS is stable."
"The solution is simple and very easy to manage compared to Linux."
"The product is scalable."
"The product is easy to use."
"Tomcat's ease of use has positively impacted project timelines. Tomcat already has high availability – it doesn't go down so often and doesn't require a lot of maintenance. As long as your application works, you can depend on Tomcat."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it supports Java Enterprise."
"Web apps are very easy to deploy."
"It is a robust solution."
"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."
"Our company doesn't face any stability issues while using Tomcat."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The deployment process is very fast."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"IIS's memory management could be improved."
"The price of the solution could be less to improve."
"Presently, some developers do not have technical knowledge of managing IIS, so that needs to be improved in the next release."
"The cost is a bit too high."
"IIS could improve by having some features related to ASR and HTTPS certificate generation."
"The solution's scalability needs improvement."
"The customer service and support team can be improved."
"Security integration in Tomcat is complicated. We need to use another tool to solve the security issues."
"Performance optimization is an area of concern in Tomcat that should be made better."
"Java functions should be built better into the solution."
"Tomcat needs to improve its user interface."
"It will be useful if a direct report concerning a particular server configuration or application usage is readily available in the dashboard."
"In the solution, we are using the terminal to enter command line codes for operations and management, this is difficult for me. It would be better if we had some administrator UI tools for this."
"One way to improve the solution is by making the logging capabilities of Tomcat better by providing a logger within the server itself and making it easy to access and view the server logs. This can be especially useful when debugging issues with applications deployed on the Tomcat server. By having the ability to view both the application logs and the server logs, you can more easily identify the source of any issues and troubleshoot them more efficiently. Providing a connector or other similar feature that allows you to access the server logs from within your application can also be helpful in this regard. Having access to both the application logs and the server logs can be a valuable resource when trying to identify and resolve problems."
"Tomcat is not user-friendly. I would also like to be able to have multiple applications run at the same time."
