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

"The high availability is great."

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

"It is a Java-based product, so it is pretty straightforward. It is pretty easy from a developer's perspective. It is also pretty reliable and scalable."

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

"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 most valuable feature is the UI."

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

"The stability is great."

More JBoss pros

"Data integrity."

"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 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."

"Oracle Fusion is stable."

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

"One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part."

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

More Oracle Fusion Middleware pros

Cons

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

"The product could be cheaper."

"The login process could be improved."

"Logging-related issues in JBoss require improvement."

"The solution's documentation could be better."

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

"Sometimes the console has a glitch."

More JBoss cons

"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."

"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications."

"The price could always be better."

"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."

"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 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."

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

More Oracle Fusion Middleware cons

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."

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

"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."

"It is an open-source solution."

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

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

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

More JBoss pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"The licensing costs are reasonable."

"We pay annually for the solution."

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

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

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