Featured Reviews

Thomas Waltair - PeerSpot reviewer
Regional Head And Director Product Development at Neptune Software Group
Stable and scalable enterprise deployment with Cloud-Native support
Oracle WebLogic Server helps with my deployment strategy in both monolithic as well as Cloud-Native ways. I think it is useful; this Cloud-Native support helps with deployment in both on-prem and cloud. For container deployment, we are not very rich. We are in the process of moving our business logic to containerization. But in terms of this being a big product, a core banking system, I prefer on-prem rather than cloud. The use cases and the scrum help me a lot in an iterative, incremental manner. I would recommend this product; it is an enterprise, large volume, and of course, it is worth it to deploy. I am providing this review with a rating of 9.
G Srivastava - PeerSpot reviewer

Migration has reduced incidents and simplifies managing secure hybrid applications
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) can be improved, as there are changes with the Java version, transitioning from Java to Jakarta since the last JBoss 8 version. I had to make several changes across my server to align with these updates, which was a challenging task for me as it took time. Additionally, in terms of security, there are still some concerns with hacking on Java versions and Java ports, and the XML libraries should be more secure, maintaining consistency to facilitate smoother migrations between versions. My experience during migrations with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) was mainly smooth, but I encountered application-specific issues because some applications were not compatible with the new version. I had to roll back and troubleshoot these issues, reaching out to Red Hat for assistance, and they were instrumental in resolving those concerns.
