We used to use eclipse microprofile and Payara always had timely updates on their platform.

The deploy of our applications was done on AWS and it was pretty easy to create docker containers running payara.

Overral my experience using it was great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest I can't complain about Payara. It is an application server that offers everything a developer needs to work on Java EE applications deployed on the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of Implementation, Customer Support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Another day, another tool. I like the tool, but Im not sure a tool is needed in smaller environments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Payara is powerful and robust. It is always up-to-date with the latest specs, and the company is small enough to be very approachable. Built-in Hazelcat makes clustering a breeze, and Payara Micro is great for microservices which don't need the full blown app server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High memory usage which can be an issue on low-spec machines

The documentation is not always clear or complete which can make it difficult for new users to get started

Lacks some features that are present in other Java EE servers such as WildFly or TomEE

Community support is not as big as other Java EE servers.

The pricing model is not transparent enough for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Coming from Glassfish, I had valuable experience, and Payara helped keep those competencies at work.

Besides that, many new features and compatibilities have been added in the last revisions making Payara Server a good choice for Java developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before payara, we used the Glassfish server, and everything was very hard to do. Payara server makes it very easy to create instances. We run our system with 3, something that would take great effort on Glassfish. Everything is top-notch and easy to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the updates break stuff, and it takes some time to fix. Our security demands also break stuff. Since we introduced encrypted connection in our local network, the console (4848) doesn't start or pause the instances anymore. A little bit frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
