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…

Projects & SCM Track Leader at El-Seif Engineering Contracting Company

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

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

"The solution is easy to use."

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

"The product integrates well with Java applications."

"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 stability is great."

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

"The most valuable feature is the UI."

More JBoss pros

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

"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 solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time."

"The most valuable features are the pre-built connectors between Oracle applications, which allow quick integration. I also appreciate the fast deployment of components. Oracle Fusion Middleware's key benefit is enabling real-time data transfer between applications."

"Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use."

"The scalability is good."

"The solution is very easy to install."

"The initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware pros

Cons

"The login process could be improved."

"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."

"The solution sometimes crashed and had some compatibility issues with the DevOps JAR file."

"The solution could improve by providing more integration."

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

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

"The solution's pricing could be improved because it is not cheap."

More JBoss cons

"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."

"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."

"The product should improve BPEL features."

"Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector."

"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."

"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."

"The price could always be better."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware cons

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

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

"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."

More JBoss pricing and cost advice

"We pay annually for the solution."

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