A flexible and stable solution that is cost-efficient compared to other products

Our company uses the solution for enterprise clients in the banking and finance industries. We use different versions of the open source solution depending on client needs. The solution has flexibility and stability. There is not much ability inside of the solution. The world is going beyond…

A cost-effective solution for ERP solution but requires data analytics

We're a small and medium-sized business with data needs. Oracle’s features cater primarily to data management, which is relevant to us because our data size is moderate, hovering around 10 gigabytes. Before Oracle, we relied on Azure Microsoft SCS Server for our database, but it couldn't handle our optimization requirements. That's why we migrated to Oracle Server. We're apparently using VMware. Oracle is not operating 24/7. We haven't experienced any issues, but some power factor may have caused the server downtime. Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"JBoss has made it very easy to implement web applications."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The most valuable thing about JBoss is how easy it is to install and manage it on-premise, making the process simple."

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

"The solution's support is very good for repairing components."

"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."

"The solution has flexibility and stability."

More JBoss pros

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

Cons

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

"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."

"The login process could be improved."

"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 solution's documentation could be better."

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

"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."

"Logging-related issues in JBoss require improvement."

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

"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."

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

"Since the solution is freeware, our customers don't need to pay any licensing fees."

"JBoss is an expensive solution."

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

"It is an open-source solution."

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

"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."
