NGINX Plus vs. Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform

Makes our life easy as application admins in securing our applications and making them accessible. We can easily add an application within a few minutes and define the backend servers right away.

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.

• APIGW
• Policy Enforcement
• Centrally Manage API Traffic

• 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.

• An AI bot would be cool to help build config files
• More webinars for advanced NGINX Plus would be great
• GUI tool... might already be one available

Incentivized

• Difficult to replicate configuration outside of a container environment
• Still requires quite a bit of knowledge of the CLI
• Integration with deployment tools requires CLI knowledge

No reason not to renew it, we are happy with it.

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

Very easy to use

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

JBoss EAP is lightweight and doesn't really consumes much physical resources. It's high performing and suites well for high transaction Java enterprise applications. The out of box performance settings are not really great and you will have to configure the settings to suite your environment to leverage it's full benefits.

We had an issue after upgrading from RHEL 7 to 8, and there were some issues that the security team imposed upon the platform with a scanning tool. We also had a VXLAN environment that was not properly sending a gratuitous arp to the network. NGINX support was instrumental to speedily resolving our issue.

Fast response.

Incentivized

The API and dashboard alone make NGINX Plus a better choice.

Incentivized

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

• We are planning by using NGINX it can greatly reduce our OPEX by 50% "just our own running APIGW" the cascading effects in the long run will be much more.

Incentivized

• Jboss EAP is easy to deploy and configure. This lead to lower cost and faster delivery.
• Even though we have large number of machines running JBoss, we have only two Jboss Administrators. It doesn't requires too much administration and maintenance on daily basis and reduces number of administrators required for large implementations.
