Verified User Anonymous Chose Red Hat JBoss EAP JBoss does practically everything Apache Tomcat and Weblogic does in terms of our requirements, but JBoss is more suited for larger enterprise J2EE apps compared to Tomcat.

User Testimonials
	Red Hat Application Foundations	Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) is well suited for deploying high transaction Java EE based applications. It supports many popular Java EE web-based frameworks such as Spring, Angular JS, jQuery Mobile, and Google Web Toolkit. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	MOD_CLUSTER integration. JBoss EAP integrates pretty well with mod_cluster. This is an intelligent load balancer especially useful in highly clustered environments. Supports enterprise-grade features such as high availability clustering, distributed caching, messaging etc. Supports deployment in on-premise, virtual and hybrid cloud environments. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Jboss CLI is a great tool but we had trouble using it to get values that are displayed on Jboss GUI. It also has limitations parsing the applications.xml files and we had to use a mix of jboss-cli and linux bash commands to automate certain application administrative tasks. JBoss doesn't really provides performance tuning recommendations. It would have been nice if it could learn from the current demand vs current settings for things like connection pool, server configurations, garbage collection etc. Incentivized Amanda Decker Development Coordinator, Advancement Services Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We are planning to migrate away from Jboss to Tomcat as Jboss has shown not interest in supporting OSGi which is heavily used at our shop Incentivized sameer vaidya Software Developer IV Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	JBoss overall is easy to use. The installation and deployment of applications are quick. Documentations and support are also readily available. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	We run a high traffic B2B application on JBoss and it is very stable. Boot time when restarting services is also fast Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Fast response. Incentivized Holman Cárdenas, M.Eng, TOGAF®, ITIL® CIO (Chief Information Officer) Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	WebSphere Application Server is propriety and increases project cost. It is slightly complicated to learn when compared to Jboss EAP. These were the two main reasons why we chose Red Hat JBoss EAP over WebSphere Application Server. Also, JBoss EAP is light weight and requires less server resource Incentivized Amanda Decker Development Coordinator, Advancement Services Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Jboss EAP is easy to deploy and configure. This lead to lower cost and faster delivery. Even though we have large number of machines running JBoss, we have only two Jboss Administrators. It doesn't requires too much administration and maintenance on daily basis and reduces number of administrators required for large implementations.
