Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is easy to use.""The solution is easy to use.""All the features of Microsoft IIS are valuable.""The product is stable.""The solution integrates well with most Microsoft products.""It is a scalable solution.""It helps scan and mitigates our vulnerabilities using the best protocols to secure our environment.""IIS is scalable."

More IIS Pros →

"Oracle Fusion is stable.""The scalability is good.""Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use.""The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades.""The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management.""The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time.""One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part.""Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware Pros →

"Tomcat has connectors like REST requests to connect the front end. Also, some parts of the inter-system communication go through REST. External connections with third parties occasionally involve both REST and SOAP protocols. Tomcat is versatile in accommodating these various communication methods.""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.""Tomcat's best feature is the open source server. It's a flexible and lightweight solution.""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.""The solution has very robust functionality.""It is a robust solution.""The product's initial setup phase was simple."

More Tomcat Pros →

Cons
"The solution should improve the cluster environment and load balancing.""Presently, some developers do not have technical knowledge of managing IIS, so that needs to be improved in the next release.""At the moment, we have big problems with stability, and I'm not very happy at the moment. So, the stability could be improved.""In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the cloud environment and the on-premises environment.""IIS has some stability issues and needs restarting.""I would like to see NLB features in IIS.""IIS's memory management could be improved.""Occasionally, we encounter performance issues with IIS where it becomes unresponsive and requires a solution restart."

More IIS Cons →

"The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed.""Its price can be improved. We are currently looking for more cost-efficiency. It should also have a little bit more flexibility for customizations. The customizations should be quicker.""The documentation might not be good enough for new users.""I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes.""The price could always be better.""All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement.""Technical support should resolve issues more quickly.""An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware Cons →

"It will be useful if a direct report concerning a particular server configuration or application usage is readily available in the dashboard.""The product's pricing needs improvement.""The interface is not user-friendly.""The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss.""It would be great if they offered more integration of monitoring tools.""The solution's interface and backup features could be better.""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.""Performance optimization is an area of concern in Tomcat that should be made better."
