Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Reviews & Product Details

For developing large java enterprise applications, it gives lots of features. Deployment of applications really fast and for configuration wise it is super easy. Fast scalability is another great feature for Jboss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing for cloud it too high. Although it has gui, sometimes it needs more time to learn and get familiar with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like flexibility of Jboss; when it comes to logging for external components you can configure easily. Architecture changes like standalone to high-available can be achieved with few steps as very well documented. GUI helps to see if any runtime changes allowed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heavy configuration when it comes to application specific requirements. Developers find it hard to track environmental changes so microservices are better for CI/CD deployments. Manageability sometimes rely on manual or shell scripted procedures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The chance to use the CLI to manage subsystems using commands and the possibility to create a controller to manage all hosts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rapid releases that are sometimes difficult to keep up with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a lot of documentation all over the internet talking about almost any topic of this server: How can you configure a database pool? How can you activate security? etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not the fastest server in the world. Specially during the startup, if you need to use a lot of modules (datasources, EJBs, queue managers, and so on) don't expect it to start in less than 3-5 minutes.

Of course it might mean that your application is too big to be deployed fast enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product is very easy to install and configure with manual changes. Also, there are active forums where you can get quick help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike but there is a suggestion to improve UI based installation which can take custom configuration changes like support for HTTPS certificate or SSL certificate. Also, create standalone.xml file with all valid attributes leaving end user to update as per business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

light weight, does not take too much space, and good customization options using xml configuration files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RedHat Jboss Enterprise is a fully fledged Java application platform that is very dynamic. It can be extremely robust and versatile at the same time. The entire documentation from RedHat is very thorough and detailed and covers every aspect you can possibly imagine. The updates for Jboss Enterprise has also been very steady and new features are being pushed out with every minor/major versions with constant performance improvements.

Jboss server logging could use a bit more work. When multiple applications are deployed on the same platform, server logs usually get overcrowded and its very hard to debug application or platform level issues under such circumstances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much that i could say that i dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extensibility and ease of scaling are first class with Jboss Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit of a warning curve to get this middleware working Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JBoss is java EE 7 certified and has great features for cloud ready applications like high availibility, clustering, and even distributed caching. This makes it much easier to scale out enterprise wide and feel comfortable knowing JBoss will perform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JBoss has gone through quite a bit of updates recently and it does take some time to learn new functionality and the value behind it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very robust application server. It has native support for J2EE and most features that I was looking for. everything worked right out of the box seamlessly with minimal configuration. Also ongoing maintenance was simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost is a little bit higher than expected; however, the quality of the product justifies the cost. Hence it was a non-issue at my organization when we upgrade with the regular version of JBoss to this enterprise edition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is apt for enterprise level applications and has compatibility with Maven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Troubleshooting tips are not easily available on internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly robust lots of great documentation. Leading industry standard of web application platform. We were using Apache Tomcat and switched to JBoss as we needed a more robust and established platform for a very high volume OTLP application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Configuration takes a bit of a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Almost five years with Red Hat JBoss Middleware(JBM), I used all kinds of Java EE and integration products, JBM stands out for low cost, wide integration with other products, excelent support and has a large community willing to help and share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe a little hard for beginners SysOps and developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It s the best software with all the competitive features and with low or no cost to buy and little cost for support. It now I have been using this for running one application and the stability is good as compared to other software that are much costlier. I would say this one can beat the other competitors with some improvements in features. Stable environment setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much about it to dislike, Only some improvements must have made. I would say some clustering features would be good to improve on. Although it has the clustering features but those needs to be improved for more stability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
