We performed a comparison between IIS 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."All the features of Microsoft IIS are valuable."
"The solution has been reliable."
"We use Windows Server only for Eggplant Manager."
"The tool is very easy to use and efficient."
"The product is easy to configure."
"The product is easy to use."
"It is an easy-to-use and secure program."
"IIS has a very simple and user-friendly interface, which helps a lot in effective and efficient management."
"It is a scalable platform."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Tomcat is its ability to export libraries into different instances so that I can use it not only in one application but in multiple applications."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to host applications."
"Our company doesn't face any stability issues while using Tomcat."
"The scalability overall is good."
"The ease of use of Tomcat is its most valuable feature. Once we grade particular software, we simply download it and we keep an eye on if Tomcat is working."
"The most valuable feature is how simple it is to deploy the solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the cloud environment and the on-premises environment."
"The solution should improve the cluster environment and load balancing."
"The platform's stability could be better."
"Scalability issues and security concerns need attention from Microsoft."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The solution is slow and could have better performance."
"The graphical user interface has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"In the next release, the tool should be more easily integrated and configured with other provisions. The pricing should also be made cheaper since it's very expensive now."
"I would personally like it if the admin console would show more information specifically about memory being used."
"Our biggest challenge is that the Tomcat servers are not hosted locally."
"The setup is complex and could be improved."
"I would also like to see a dashboard with some integrations in order to see the logs and trace performance easier."
"Tomcat's performance is less than other solutions like IBM WebSphere or JBoss."
"Performance optimization is an area of concern in Tomcat that should be made 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."
"Tomcat needs to improve its user interface."
