    IBM WebSphere Hybrid edition is well-suited for the development and deployment of large enterprise-level applications such as Electronic Health Records that are used in our organization. IBM WebSphere is appropriate for organizations that require strong security and compliance as it provides a high level of security and compliance features. This works well with organizations that are subject to strict regulatory requirements, such as hospitals.

    Softr has all it takes to revolutionize most companies backoffice creating customized "micro saas" that brings a lot of productivity and digitalize most proceses. Since it is very easy to use, any user can take control of the application develpment and that is very powerfull. If you have application that will have a lot of users, Softr may not be the best option for you because of the pricing.

    Cons
    IBM
    • Ease of use in terms of deployment, give simple interface to do simple stuff like Tomcat, JBoss or GlassFish.
    • Takes long time to start the server.
    • The Liferay wars need to be decorated and then deployed. Perhaps we could simplify that.
    • Some of the concepts are good for complexity that WAS can handle but could be simplified and better documented, like concepts of well and profile, context, etc.
    • A Liferay war file created using Liferay Developer studio runs fine in Tomcat, however that may not run in WAS 7.x because it needs to be decorated. I had one war for a Liferay portlet with a simple cron job, and had hard time running to WAS server. It was running on the latest free download done on my friends m/c. Other times I have seen that there are issues running a war file that runs on Tomcat but runs on WAS after lot of customization for WAS.
    • The corporations like this however, the product may need better vibrant community of users where issues can be discussed.

    Mostly we will be renewing unless the strategic direction changes drastically or there are other complelling external circumstances. We've been on a multi year project to modernize our legacy applications and that effort will continue for the foreseeable future.

    Usability

    WebSphere Application Server is used across our organization. Most projects use this for Java products and applications. Being robust and scalable makes it even more usable. We love using WebSphere Application Server due to its configuration management ability made simple and vast across all java related parameters. It is dependent on the features and upgrades and IBM releases some great upgrades to WebSphere Application Server.

    Softr is for anyone. It can easily take you from a newbie to a builder. You can have a quick start using the templates and then start customizing them to your special needs. If you work with Airtable as a data base then you are in great waters since both applications integrate perfectly with each other.

    IBM was quick to respond when we had an issue with our specific infrastructure. We raised a PMR, which they picked up quickly and updated us about every step of the way. We had an appropriate fix for quite a business critical issue within a fortnight, which was impressive!

    Cleo Integration Clould has many bells and whistles; however, when we added more maps and trading partners, it really slowed down. We found that the Cleo support was very slow to respond and there was a language barrier. IBM Websphere had better customer support and its processing was much faster than Cleo Integration Cloud

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • Continuous uptime of the business applications we manage
    • It's now much simpler for me to build and deploy cloud-native applications.
    • Because it can offload for me management and maintenance of the application server to IBM I can focus on the development, deployment and testing of the applications which is more important
