Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Apache, Red Hat and others in Application Server."The products offers EE support."
"It is a robust solution."
"The solution has very robust functionality."
"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, where one is high price and ten is low price. The pricing is pretty low."
"It is a scalable platform."
"Our company doesn't face any stability issues while using Tomcat."
"We chose to use Tomcat because it's perfect compared to other containers that we have tested."
"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."
"Tomcat is a simple, light environment, whereas the full Red Hat Fuse solution is heavier."
"I would like to see integration with MQ systems."
"It would be great if they offered more integration of monitoring tools."
"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."
"Sometimes we face issues with the private and public networks and ensuring that once Tomcat is installed, that it is secure."
"The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement."
"Sometimes, the UI part does not run properly, or the server goes down."
"The current procedure appears complex and could benefit from a more straightforward solution."
"I would also like to see a dashboard with some integrations in order to see the logs and trace performance easier."
"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."
