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

    SAP NetWeaver is well suited for contract file storage and management. SAP NetWeaver is less appropriate for entering in time and attendance.

    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.

    • sometimes in linux OS we face several issues during start and stop. Sometimes Zombie process still exists after clean shutdown that time we need to manually kill those processes otherwise it might not start properly. Here SAP can improve.

    I did not give SAP NetWeaver a 10, only because getting access to it initially can be tricky and sometimes it's very slow to load up.

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

    Most of the other applications only provide one business module to use, whereas SAP Netweaver Application server can cover all business areas. It provides both ABAP & Java features, meaning it can host Portal applications and be also used for having online transactions. The application codes are easily modifiable & can be made to fit user needs. This application is suited for all type of business demands

    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.

    • Great ROI. We need to invest in new developments, making it more functional for our business.
    • We have requests that couldn't be duplicated. Maybe we need to pay to fix that.
    • We have a lot of transactions and don't have anyone that can guide us to the ones that we need to improve our business.
