Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The greatest benefit of JBoss is that it was procured by IBM, thereby offering exceptional support for our banking operations."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"We use JBoss mainly for application deployments and application servers."

"The stability is good. I would rate it a nine out of ten."

"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."

"We can deploy the applications on the JBoss server, so it is easy to manage. It's also easy to add new certificates to the config."

"The product integrates well with Java applications."

"The solution is easy to use."

More JBoss pros

"The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time compared to normal development processes."

Cons

"The tool's documentation could be improved to explain its usage and functionalities clearly. Having accessible documentation would save time for leaders like me when juniors seek information about it. The documentation should be self-explanatory and guide users on how to utilize the tool."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product could be made cheaper."

"The solution could improve by providing more integration."

"The price could be improved. Customers don't want to buy the license easily."

"In terms of monitoring, the old version was somewhat limited in flexibility, lacking the ability to easily adjust configurations."

"The stability of the solution could improve with Microsoft Windows."

"JBoss is not as reliable and stable as WebLogic."

"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."

More JBoss cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-efficient compared to other products. Pricing is rated an eight out of ten."

"JBoss is an expensive solution."

"It is an open-source solution."

"I rate the product price as eight on a scale, where one means it is a very cheap solution, and ten points mean that it is a very expensive tool."

"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."

"The pricing of JBoss is more reasonable than that of WebLogic."

"There is no licensing cost. The solution is free to use."

"We pay for a maintenance license, but it is not expensive."
