Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform vs. Tanzu Application Catalog

JBoss EAP is subscription based/open source platform. It's very reliable and great for deploying high transaction Java based enterprise applications. It integrates well with third party components like mod_cluster and supports popular Java EE web-based frameworks such as Spring, Angular JS, jQuery Mobile, and Google Web Toolkit.

The best way to take advantage of VMware Application Catalog (Bitnami) is as in the case I mentioned, that you constantly implement these free software, where any time saved is important in terms of installation, configuration and testing environment, it really is a very useful solution, also if you need a good community and support; however the cloud and VMs solutions is not designed for huge products, these can be slow or remain insufficient if the use of these grows a lot, even though it is an easy-to-use product, you need to have enough knowledge in terms of installation and management of cloud solutions, a beginner can find himself in trouble

• 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

• pre-packaged templates they provide.
• ease of cloud-deployment of your projects.
• The development community page always has useful information and there is a lot of support.

• 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

• Possibility to configure the implementation through mobile devices
• Sometimes the performance of the VMs is slower than expected
• A best way to do the upgrades, you have reinstall and reconfigure in this process

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

JBoss overall is easy to use. The installation and deployment of applications are quick. Documentations and support are also readily available.

Incentivized

Most of it is intuitive. I think some of the awkwardness is found by new users who are unfamiliar with other software applications.

Incentivized

Usually, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is good at performance and well suited for high traffic Java EE-based applications, but we have faced hard times performance tuning it for our specific needs. The product would be nicer if they would add a performance diagnostic and recommendations feature to it.

Incentivized

Fast response.

Incentivized

They have an expert team, not just a frontline team that has learned the FAQs but a team that knows the product.

Incentivized

We selected JBoss because of compatibility with EJB's. We currently are trying to reduce our footprint and will highly consider using Tomcat.

Incentivized

VMware Application Catalog (Bitnami) offers better tools to complete the task faster and more efficiently. The customer support and knowledge base is also well presented and trained

Incentivized

• Improved delivery timelines due to easy out of the box setup.
• It is a cheap subscription-based/open-source Java EE-based application server. This reduces the overall cost of delivery.

Incentivized

• We save a lot of time implementing the apps, less engineers working on this phase
• The upgrade process of the apps can be a pain and a waste valuable time
• The mains options of the VMware Application Catalog (Bitnami) are free so is important for save money in our organization
