Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay for a maintenance license, but it is not expensive."
  • "The solution is cost-efficient compared to other products. Pricing is rated an eight out of ten."
  • "Since the solution is freeware, our customers don't need to pay any licensing fees."
  • "Despite the price increase after being acquired by IBM, JBoss still maintains its competitiveness. The package provided is more geared towards cloud-based deployments, whereas our setup is more traditional, which makes it slightly more expensive for us. As most vendors are transitioning towards cloud-centric solutions, companies like ours need to adapt accordingly."
  • "It is an open-source solution."
  • "There is no licensing cost. The solution is free to use."
  • "JBoss is an expensive solution."
  • "The pricing of JBoss is more reasonable than that of WebLogic."
