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."It is a Java-based product, so it is pretty straightforward. It is pretty easy from a developer's perspective. It is also pretty reliable and scalable."
"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."
"The greatest benefit of JBoss is that it was procured by IBM, thereby offering exceptional support for our banking operations."
"The solution's support is very good for repairing components."
"The solution has flexibility and stability."
"JBoss's configuration is straightforward and easy."
"We use JBoss mainly for application deployments and application servers."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"We can use Apache Tomcat for Java server applications."
"Tomcat is user-friendly and easy to set up, especially compared to WebLogic or JBoss where some specialty is required. If you are going for Tomcat, you can use their guidelines and can set it up easily."
"It is a scalable platform."
"One of the most valuable features of Tomcat is its compatibility with the Apache web server and its ease of configuration. It is simple to set up and maintain and allows for easy management of database connections, transactions, and isolation. Overall, Tomcat is a user-friendly application server that makes it easy to manage various aspects of database interactions."
"It's very stable. No problems at all. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The solution is scalable."
"Tomcat's best feature is the open source server. It's a flexible and lightweight solution."
"Having the support combined with Red Hat support would be an improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration."
"Sometimes the console has a glitch."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Logging-related issues in JBoss require improvement."
"The solution's pricing could be improved because it is not cheap."
"The solution's documentation could be better."
"In terms of monitoring, the old version was somewhat limited in flexibility, lacking the ability to easily adjust configurations."
"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."
"Technical support is limited."
"The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"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."
"If Apache can come up with a better solution to provide better security, that would be ideal."
"The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss."
"The solution cannot host .NET applications."
