Husni Milhem

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.

Easy to use, protects applications, and the support team is responsive

The tool is deployed on the cloud. We do maintenance when certificates need updating, but we don't do the maintenance of the servers. We have about 20 engineers and administrators in our technical team. The deployment was very simple. We got a guide from Apache. Everything was explained very clearly. The deployment took a couple of days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability is good."

"The solution is very easy to install."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware pros

"It is a scalable platform."

"I love Tomcat for its scalability, reliability, availability, and steadiness."

"Tomcat has connectors like REST requests to connect the front end. Also, some parts of the inter-system communication go through REST. External connections with third parties occasionally involve both REST and SOAP protocols. Tomcat is versatile in accommodating these various communication methods."

"The product's initial setup phase was simple."

"The deployment process is very fast."

"Tomcat's best feature is the open source server. It's a flexible and lightweight solution."

"I like the solution’s ease of use."

"The most valuable feature is the free EE server."

More Tomcat pros

Cons

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

"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."

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

"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."

"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."

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

More Oracle Fusion Middleware cons

"Security integration in Tomcat is complicated. We need to use another tool to solve the security issues."

"Technical support is limited."

"If Apache can come up with a better solution to provide better security, that would be ideal."

"The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss."

"Sometimes, the UI part does not run properly, or the server goes down."

"Java functions should be built better into the solution."

"Deployment in Tomcat should be done through a GUI. We deploy applications from the backend using commands."

"The setup is complex and could be improved."

More Tomcat cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"We pay annually for the solution."

"The licensing costs are reasonable."

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

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

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

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

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

"Tomcat is an open source solution."

"I give the pricing an eight out of ten."

"The solution is free."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."

"Tomcat is not costlier than other solutions."

"We are using the open-source version."

"The price of the solution is good."
