Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The high availability is great.""There's good documentation and a pretty good community surrounding the product.""The solution's technical support is good.""The solution's support is very good for repairing components.""The solution is easy to use.""The most valuable thing about JBoss is how easy it is to install and manage it on-premise, making the process simple.""JBoss has made it very easy to implement web applications.""We can deploy the applications on the JBoss server, so it is easy to manage.

More JBoss Pros →

"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.""The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework.""The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades.""Data integrity.""The initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory.""It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable.""Oracle Fusion is stable."

Cons
"The stability of the solution could improve with Microsoft Windows.""The initial setup is a bit complex.""Sometimes the console has a glitch.""The login process could be improved.""It would be great if the product came with a feature where the remarks made on the board can be saved on an individual's laptop to make it more user-friendly.""In general, the support of the ERPC would be really good due to the fact that, so far, I have not seen it.""Having the support combined with Red Hat support would be an improvement.""The solution sometimes crashed and had some compatibility issues with the DevOps JAR file."

"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.""I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes.""The product should improve BPEL features.""The documentation might not be good enough for new users.""All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement.""Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector.""One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms.""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."

  • "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."

  • "We pay annually for the solution."
  • "The licensing costs are reasonable."
  • "The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."
  • "The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."
