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."JBoss has made it very easy to implement web applications."
"The solution is easy to use."
"JBoss is a scalable tool."
"The most valuable feature is the UI."
"JBoss's configuration is straightforward and easy."
"The high availability is great."
"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."
"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."
"Web apps are very easy to deploy."
"It is easy to set up."
"The deployment process is very fast."
"Tomcat's best feature is the open source server. It's a flexible and lightweight solution."
"We chose to use Tomcat because it's perfect compared to other containers that we have tested."
"The solution is readily available and open-source."
"I love Tomcat for its scalability, reliability, availability, and steadiness."
"We can use Apache Tomcat for Java server applications."
"The documentation could be better. When we have questions, we need to check multiple websites. There isn't one place listing a set of common problems and how to fix them."
"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."
"The product could be cheaper."
"The solution's pricing could be improved because it is not cheap."
"There is not much ability inside of the solution. The world is going beyond different micro and data-type things like Microsoft Office, so we are not seeing much ability within the solution."
"The solution's documentation could be better."
"The login process could be improved."
"JBoss is not as reliable and stable as WebLogic."
"I would personally like it if the admin console would show more information specifically about memory being used."
"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."
"Tomcat is used mainly for database connections. As of now, we configure that environment for any database configuration. But if any utility can integrate where we can pass the database connection as a string of details, then it should encrypt them and keep them inside. From that security perspective, Tomcat requires improvement. They should integrate this security feature."
"Vulnerability is one of the areas that can be considered an issue in the solution."
"Java functions should be built better into the solution."
"The solution's interface and backup features could be better."
"Tomcat needs to improve its stability."
"Sometimes, the UI part does not run properly, or the server goes down."
