Product works as advertised
What do you like best about the product?
JBoss is fairly easy to set up compared to other application servers. It has a short start up time and has less configuration issues compared to WebSphere or WebLogic. There are some oddities when dealing with REST libraries, but you have all expected features working properly on the platform. Our applications were easy to deploy and debug when things went wrong most of the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The technical support often felt underwhelming. When dealing with support staff, we would often be asked to write a sample application displaying the issue, however it seems that the support personal often could not deploy our application. The administration of the platform also felt incomplete, as the UI did not meet up with the CLI interface in all instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our goal for the company was to move toward a standard method of deployment via all our applications. The company moved toward the J2EE standard and looked at multiple platforms. The most stable and functioning of all that we tried was definitely JBoss, specifically the enterprise platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Evaluate what systems you need to integrate into JBoss before deciding to move forward with the product. External systems sometimes were easy to integrate, other times were much more difficult.
It is an easy to use user intuitive tool.
What do you like best about the product?
It is apt for enterprise level applications and has compatibility with Maven.
What do you dislike about the product?
Troubleshooting tips are not easily available on internet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying to deploy my MIS application on Red Hat JBOSS.It is easy to configure and deploy.
Runs as expected
What do you like best about the product?
Commonly available. Community edition simplifies developer use. We have standardized on this for all our demo situations. Because of the widespread usage, many customers are comfortable going with it, and it is not a hard sell in order to distribute my products on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unnecessarily complex. Minimal thought have been given to a clean, rational, easy to use form. But that somewhat comes with the territory. Most of the competition is just as unruly. In the jump from version 5 to version 6 they did not support compatibility, and the installer generally had to be 100% rewritten. That is annoying, and can be excused once if they get into a format that they can guarantee going forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Supporting applications in a reliable way. Clustering support.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't skimp on the training. That will cost you something, but the software is then relatively inexpensive -- at least for non production use. The tradeoff is that you have to train well to get the most out of it
