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

    It fits perfectly for SOA and EAI architecture with large numbers of services that required to be wired to each other, the binding virtualization is quite good to simply this part. For the simple scenario of orchestration and /or ESB architecture could be a better use traditional stack.

    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.

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

    TIBCO service grid has been chosen as a natural selection of the TIBCO product evolution. The high flexibility and the binding virtualization fits very well with client needs for its EAI applications due to the huge number of services and applications, the management of application dependencies during deployment, the advantage of perfect integration with EMS for logging

    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.

    • The integration of old BW with BWSE and its interface quite similar to design time has reduced the cost of training for developers
    • The TIBCO support for this product is no the best and clients complains too much about this. This required to find a workaround or force the client to move to new/or different product. Huge impact on ROI
