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.

Technical Lead at Cellulant Kenya

Offers high availability, straightforward deployment and easy to use

Tomcat could be a little bit more innovative. Tomcat could come up with a framework that's more lightweight and purely targeted at Java applications. Some other solutions are doing better right now, maybe because they have come up with MicroProfile, which I think is moving forward. It may actually beat Tomcat because of the lightweight nature of the framework, the MicroProfile. They're coming up with new solutions. So, for the future of Tomcat and to maintain the market share they might be looking for, they need to come up with initiatives to ensure that several of us have a lightweight framework to deploy applications on.

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."

"Data integrity."

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

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

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

"The solution is very easy to install."

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

"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."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware pros

"The solution integrates smoothly with the development environment. The integration process is straightforward. You only need to configure the project in your IDE. With intelligent features, the integration becomes even easier. Once integrated, deployment into our application is straightforward. Previously, we sometimes relied on manual deployment processes or used a separate application manager. However, with this solution, deployment is simplified."

"The solution is readily available and open-source."

"The product is easy to use."

"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, where one is high price and ten is low price. The pricing is pretty low."

"It is easy to manage at a basic level."

"One of the most valuable features of Tomcat is its compatibility with the Apache web server and its ease of configuration. It is simple to set up and maintain and allows for easy management of database connections, transactions, and isolation. Overall, Tomcat is a user-friendly application server that makes it easy to manage various aspects of database interactions."

"Web apps are very easy to deploy."

"I find the quick startup valuable, particularly the static quick startup."

More Tomcat pros

Cons

"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."

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

"The price could always be better."

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

"The product should improve BPEL features."

"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."

"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."

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

More Oracle Fusion Middleware cons

"It will be useful if a direct report concerning a particular server configuration or application usage is readily available in the dashboard."

"The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement."

"Our biggest challenge is that the Tomcat servers are not hosted locally."

"I would personally like it if the admin console would show more information specifically about memory being used."

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

"The setup is complex and could be improved."

"Sometimes we face issues with the private and public networks and ensuring that once Tomcat is installed, that it is secure."

"Perhaps there could be an easier way to configure some advanced features."

More Tomcat cons

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

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

"The licensing costs are reasonable."

"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."

"We pay annually for the solution."

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

"There are no additional costs apart from the standard license."

"Tomcat's pricing is very cheap."
