Tomcat Reviews

Tomcat is a cloud-based platform. Previously, deploying applications required setting up a Tomcat instance and then deploying the application on it. However, our solution has streamlined the process by prebuilding and prepackaging multiple services, each equipped with its own embedded Tomcat instance. This simplifies deployment, maintenance, and configuration tasks. Instead of managing separate instances for each application, we can now seamlessly deploy each application with its own embedded Tomcat instance in the cloud environment.

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.

We are using Tomcat primarily as a request blocker. It manages queues and handles routing. The size of these queues can be adjusted to scale the application, accommodating perhaps 50-100 REST connections. Using these tools, we achieve our scalability goals. Tomcat is a highly scalable solution.

Tomcat is a polished product that has been around for a long time. It should be simple and high-performing, with the ability to grow and maintain stability. The fewer features it has, the more stable it will be.

Also, there could be more configuration options. It's always lovely to have finely tuned-configurations.

I have been using Tomcat for many years.

The product is stable. I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten.

The solution's scalability is impressive. We manage multiple ports for various systems; for instance, one of our systems utilizes eight ports. Consequently, we deploy the corresponding package eight times. Additionally, we employ a load balancer to distribute traffic across these eight ports, effectively managing incoming requests. Scaling horizontally involves utilizing updates, and there's potential for further scalability in this direction.

I have some limited experience with JBoss. Tomcat has become the standard now. There are other application servers like JBoss. They offer some excellent features for web projects. However, Tomcat is basic. Other servers provide more on top of that, which can be advantageous in some ways but also disadvantageous in others. They may be harder to support, have some issues, and be more complex.

Additionally, they might not scale horizontally as well. That was my impression maybe ten years ago. However, I believe Tomcat is now the de facto standard, and you'd need solid reasons to choose anything over it, perhaps for specific features that you can't find in Tomcat but might be available in other application servers. On the other hand, Tomcat is simple, quick, and scalable, making it a perfect solution.

The setup process is straightforward. Also, additional fine-tuning options are available in the application setup. Overall, it is a polished product. It has been evaluated over time and effectively meets our needs. Tomcat is pretty packaged together for deployment.

We deployed it in-house.

The product is free of cost.

We use it locally. It's really fast for development and very easy to deploy in production. We are using all of this with a single distribution. We have the same Tomcat version we use on our local machines, test servers, and production. Having this same deployment allows us to test it locally and on test systems before deploying it to production.

I suggest going with the embedded Tomcat, which is available with Spring. Let's say you use a job framework like Spring, incorporating Tomcat.

We have multiple web services, some accessible internally and others externally. We employ a set of firewalls to protect our internal services. Additionally, we use microservices for functionalities for external access. These functionalities are developed into separate, small web services and secured externally. The security measures, including firewalls and server-to-server access, are implemented independently of Tomcat within our setup.

The product is simple and easy to scale. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.

The primary use case of the solution is for developing applications and installing applications on the web.

I prefer to deploy my Java applications on Tomcat, as it is free and provides excellent performance and solutions. Additionally, there are two or three more solutions such as JBoss and WebSphere from IBM, but Tomcat remains my preferred choice.

The most valuable feature is how simple it is to deploy the solution.

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

I would like to have quicker Java application deployments.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

Depending on the hardware an organization is using, there can be memory issues when using the solution.

Our primary case use is for case logs. When the customer tries to log into the application and the webpage does not open I check it from the integration of Tomcat.

I would like to see the APM tools enhanced for all customers. Some APM customers are not yet fully integrated. I would also like to see a dashboard with some integrations in order to see the logs and trace performance easier.

I have been using Tomcat for the past four years.

Tomcat is not always stable and but I have not used another server yet to compare the overall stability.

The scalability overall is good.

The initial setup is straightforward. The time frame of the deployment depends on configurations and parameters that a company may have.

We are currently using the open-source version.

I would rate Tomcat a ten on a scale of one to ten.

I have used Apache Tomcat for various applications in our operational environment. We are a traffic service provider, and our operational department needs various types of proprietary applications.

In our environment, Tomcat is reliable and secure. We don't have to make many changes, and the applications work as expected.

Tomcat is reliable and secure, which makes it valuable for our application deployment. We do not have to intervene much to make changes.

Perhaps there could be an easier way to configure some advanced features. The learning curve to earn advanced skills is too steep.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

The solution is scalable. There is no downtime.

We’ve 10-15 people using this solution in our organization.

If we experience any bugs, the support team provides us with hard fixes or patching, and then we can troubleshoot them.

The initial setup is easy. We can directly download it from the website and install it.

I rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Tomcat is a free tool, but if you need any hard fixes or patches, the cost will depend on the type of support you need.

Apache Tomcat is a free tool. It can redirect or direct STDPs and other types of traffic. We are using a multi-level server setup.

It is a simple tool to install and configure. We can accommodate it because the Apache Tomcat Marketplace is available, which provides a free set of open-source plugins and components.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Tomcat is a web server whose main facility is to have a web page.

The setup is complex and could be improved.

Stability depends on the requirements of the hardware assets. It also depends on how many users are on the web page and for how long.

The solution is scalable.

I used NGINX before Tomcat.

The initial setup was complex. It took two hours to set up the solution. Some SAP application was also involved during the setup.

When deploying the solution, we installed the host on the Linux server, followed by some basic configurations. In user management, there is an admin and a manager.

We don't have to pay for a license to use Tomcat.

I rate Tomcat a ten out of ten. I recommend that anyone choosing the solution use Google to find out what to do.

We use this solution for our website. When we have to integrate applications like scheduling tools with the website, we use Tomcat. We also use Tomcat to configure the applications that we have with either Automic scheduler or the D-Series scheduler.

The ease of use of Tomcat is its most valuable feature. Once we grade particular software, we simply download it and we keep an eye on if Tomcat is working. We have a link within Tomcat that tells us whether is working or not. 

Sometimes we face issues with the private and public networks and ensuring that once Tomcat is installed, that it is secure. This is an area of the solution that could be improved, possibly by adding an additional package for security. 

I have been using this solution for a few months. 

This is a stable solution. When we have experienced any issue, restarting Tomcat or completing an update has fixed the issue. 

This is a scalable solution. 

We have not needed to reach out to Tomcat for support during the last six or seven years. When we have had an issue, we have been able to resolve it on our own. 

The initial setup is really straightforward. Deployment takes between two and five minutes. If you are using Unix or Windows, you can click on the Tomcat website and you can download it from there. It's a very simple method and you can start and stop any time. If there is any problem, you can see the logs to understand what the issue is. 

I would recommend this solution to other businesses. It is important to understand what approach you are going to take when it comes to installation. Tomcat is user friendly compared to solutions such as WebLogic or Oracle. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

We use Tomcat as an application bucket for our Linux and Windows environments.

The product's pricing needs improvement.

I rate Tomcat's stability a nine out of ten.

We have 500 Tomcat users in our organization. It is a scalable platform. We plan to increase the usage.
