    Glassfish is well suited for large-scale cluster deployments and integrates well with F5 load balancers.

    PhpStorm is well suited for any project that utilizes PHP. I have used it on Windows, Ubuntu, and Mac OS and it works great on all those platforms. Having a solution that keeps the developer from having to constantly switch tools to do their job is invaluable. Whether you're a junior developer, front end engineer or a senior developer, PhpStorm is a great product that will help you get your work done.

    Pros
    Oracle
    • The product offers Java EE support.
    • As the version supported by Oracle we have an extensive documentation, the Oracle GlassFish server online documentation library, patches ,and support from the supplier.
    • Ease of use through the administration console.
    • Integration with the NetBeans development interface.

    • Database browsing, Remote host browsing, and all the deep seated customizations for both the UI and Technical feasability are the result of an amazing integrity and compatibility with most components and technologies.
    • The built-in shell is insanely helpful for traversing code in order to debug scripts with ease, and the plug-in system makes this software quite extensible.
    • Not to mention the variety of options and settings (divided into global settings and per-project settings) are both intuitive & easy to use, especially the fact that I can export and import them across my workstations while maintaining my spacing & indentation, highlighting, inspection patterns and syntax styling.

    Cons
    Oracle
    • One of the areas where we found Glassfish adaptation difficult for our company was the lack of documentation and community forums covering important issues.
    • We ran into a roadblock with OAuth 2.0 implementation and did not get great support on that issue.

    • Some of the newest github copilot features lag behind what's being done in vs code and would be nice if more of the newer features were brought over though this has greatly improved recently
    • Interface can be a little overwhelming for newcomers
    • Some features like rainbow brackets should be native rather than addon

    PhpStorm is very easy to use, once you get the hang of it. It can take a while to get the hang of it because there's so many options, some of which are buried in the imposing settings panel. It could use some help with multi-cursor, especially multi-file editing but that's a minor gripe.

    The JetBrains community is all about helping others succeed, even in the most obscure setups. I have never had a question go unanswered, or I have never been able to come up with empty results in searching for the answer. My questions or concerns are typically address from other users in the community, so timing is pretty quick for a response

    At the time we did a small proof of concept with both platforms and Oracle Glassfish had more intuitive administration and configuration functions

    Easier to use, more features, more reliable. Much more purpose built with specific integrations aimed directly at php code instead of the broad generic interfaces the other software have that are aiming to support many different languages.

    Return on Investment
    Oracle
    • Glassfish which initially spun off from an Open Source project has a community edition which is free to use and offers great ROI.
    • In comparison to cloud offerings like AWS and Google App Engine, Glassfish requires more cost upfront for installation and management.

    • PhpStorm decreased the time to market of new features - we are following the Agile SCRUM methodology with 2 weeks sprints. Using PhpStorm helped with releasing UI features even faster than 2 weeks.
    • Considering the price of the license and the cost of the server where we run it, the ROI is still high due to less time spent by developers with writing code, debugging, refactoring etc. Especially when you have highly paid developers.
    • Increased people's happiness - by using a modern tool with lots of features which has made their work easier.
