JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Reviews

My job is to analyze which particular application platform is suitable for the type of application. JBoss is one of the solutions I recommend. I'm a senior infrastructure architect.

This current solution is quite stable and the whole frame is quite easy to handle in terms of hosting the application, especially the applications that use only the web containers. We've introduced the clustering solution for our customers, which is a high availability solution and we haven't had any complaints. 

I'd like to see some sort of functional requirement that can convert technical requirements in the JBoss platform. 

I've been using this solution for close to six years. 

The initial setup is relatively simple. Our engineering team implement the solution and it's easy for them to understand. The applications are critical by nature. To date, we've implemented for around 30 different applications and if I try to consolidate the user base, there are somewhere around 200 users.

JBoss is totally subscription-based and it's less costly for us. As a solution architect, I would say licensing is key. The cost involved in implementing the solution is a key factor now that most companies are looking to cut costs. WebSphere is really costly and less flexible. I think the JBoss subscription is quite competitive. Most people understand that the EAP kind of solution will save a lot of money in terms of licensing. 

We've never had any complaints with customers who have implemented this product. 

I rate this product an eight out of 10. 

We use this solution for application server farms for online transaction processing.

JBoss EAP permitted support for a high level of transaction processing during the personal income tax declaration period.

The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and performance.

This solution needs better management UI.

We use the solution for the deployment of Java-based applications.

The solution helps my organization with simple and fast deployments.

The solution is easy to configure and deploy.

The solution's architecture needs improvement. Also, there could be more integration with container platforms.
