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…

Maintains top database performance and includes a very good ATB feature

Technical support is helpful. They have a good support bot for handling items so most case response times are fast. Support is aware and responsive but it takes time for them to resolve issues. Our whole enterprise is in the cloud and uses this application. It is a high priority to close any issues. We need an immediate response with resolution within two to three days. Support sends a lot of templates to fill in based on the priority or escalation. Completing templates takes time, particularly with the bot. The support process definitely needs improvement so technical support is rated a seven 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

"There's good documentation and a pretty good community surrounding the product."

"JBoss is a scalable tool."

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

"The solution's technical support is good."

"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."

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

More JBoss pros

"The solution is very easy to install."

"Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."

"The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework."

"The scalability is good."

"Data integrity."

"The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."

"It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware pros

Cons

"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."

"It can have automation features. Everybody is focused right now on automation. In terms of saving cost, automation is always the first thing that comes to light."

"In general, the support of the ERPC would be really good due to the fact that, so far, I have not seen it."

"Having the support combined with Red Hat support would be an improvement."

"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 solution could improve by providing more integration."

More JBoss cons

"The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed."

"Its price can be improved. We are currently looking for more cost-efficiency. It should also have a little bit more flexibility for customizations. The customizations should be quicker."

"For improvements, I think Oracle Fusion Middleware could be better at connecting to third-party applications. While it works well with Oracle products, it's more limited to non-Oracle systems than other middleware solutions like MuleSoft."

"The solution's technical support needs to be improved."

"One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms."

"All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."

"The documentation might not be good enough for new users."

"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"It is an open-source solution."

"JBoss is an expensive 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."

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

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

More JBoss pricing and cost advice

"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."

"The tool is best suited for large companies due to high licensing costs."

"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."

"We pay annually for the solution."

"The pricing is moderate. It's fine."

"The licensing costs are reasonable."

"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."

"My advice is to buy the basic modules first, gain the most benefit from them, then buy the advanced modules."
