"Best web container for hosting web application"
5/5
What do you like best about Apache Tomcat?

Using Apache tomcat is very simpler to configure in local system. As it is open source so nothing to pay for it. I used it to deploy my web application during the development process and to test same. The other thing which i like most is that it helps to deploye java projects more faster and this save time.

What do you dislike about Apache Tomcat?

Sometimes i feel that there is memory leak if working or deployment of big project. Also I observe when server starts it starts consuming more CPU usage which make sustem work slow. Sometimes services will be not responsive due to which server won't start and we need to reconfigure again with new port. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Tomcat?

Easy to configure on the cloud as well as on the local system. It helps me to deploy/test my java web-based applications. Application startup is faster than other web servers. The good thing is it's Open source and free. I can also configure additional security like configuring certificates, add http headers in the tomcat easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
