User Testimonials
	Azure Service Fabric	JBoss SOA Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Red Hat JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform is great when you are looking at building more or less pure Java applications and SOA micro-services that may integrate with multiple external data sources. It is less useful when you are looking to build simple SOA applications that are simple in nature since the overhead associated with deploying as well as learning BPEL.

Pros	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Red Hat JBoss is open source so the cost overhead to deploy and build application is very low. JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform and its parent Redhat are reputed and well adapted in the industry so it is easy to find best practices documentation for complex deployments of JBoss middleware. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Red Hat JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform is dependent and build for JEE/Java application so using a different programming paradigm will be much harder. There is still a learning curve to get familiar with BPEL making it harder to get an SOA micro-service up and running compared to a fully cloud-based service Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Red Hat Redhat support generally is great and that is true for the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform as well. Even if you do not buy support from Redhat, you can reply on the discussion board and bug fixes via the open-source JBoss without much trouble. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Red Hat Oracle SOA Suite (Oracle BPM + Oracle BPEL + other components) and IBM WebSphere middleware is most costly and suited if you are already using applications and other middleware components from these vendors. Mulesoft (Salesforce Mule ESB) is best when you need deep integration with one of Salesforce's existing products. JBoss and Apache Web Server are best when you do not want to invest infant CapEx/OpEx on license fee. Apache Web Server based middleware is best for simple SOA applications.

Return on Investment	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Red Hat Positive impact on the business by being able to use existing Java/JEE expertise to build and deploy applications and business services. Positive ROI due to no license cost for JBoss Enterprise SOA. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
