Chose Red Hat JBoss EAP
We selected JBoss because of compatibility with EJB's. We currently are trying to reduce our footprint and will highly consider using Tomcat.
Chose Red Hat JBoss EAP
WebSphere Application Server is propriety and increases project cost. It is slightly complicated to learn when compared to Jboss EAP. These were the two main reasons why we chose Red Hat JBoss EAP over Websphere Application Server.
Also, JBoss EAP is light weight and requires …

JBoss does practically everything Apache Tomcat and Weblogic does in terms of our requirements, but JBoss is more suited for larger enterprise J2EE apps compared to Tomcat. Boot time is not as quick as Tomcat, but still relatively fast for our deployments. The system can also …

Splunk Observability Cloud stood out for its real-time data ingestion, native OpenTelemetry support, and seamless correlation between metrics, traces, and logs, which gave us faster root cause analysis and better end-to-end visibility compared to Grafana setups that required …
Chose Splunk Observability Cloud
To be honest, Datadog is very similar to Splunk and LogScale to a lesser degree, but it is just as good if you don't need too complex observability. Grafana is still growing and might reach the same level soon.

It's well-suited for being less bulky and is more manageable than other IBM products for Java applications. It's more scalable and provides broader features than others, and is able to load balance with better visibility. The "containers" within are lighter weight and thus don't consume as many resources as Websphere did.

Pros
  • JBoss deployment and configuration is easy and fast. This leads to lower cost and faster deliveries.
  • Jboss gives you lot of flexibility around performance tuning options to better suite your application needs.
  • It is modular and cloud ready. This can be installed on-premise and cloud with equal ease.
  • I specifically love it's integration with mod_cluster. It is a smart httpd based load balancing component that listens to incoming requests on web server using httpd and then intelligently routes the request to Jboss hosts.

  • The first one is its Kubernetes container monitoring.
  • I really like this features because as we know how much K8s is vast and to manually monitor each part of the Kubernetes it takes so much time but Splunk Observability Cloud makes it easier. And even once we integrate K8s with Splunk Observability Cloud it gives us some prebuilt dashboards which gives holistic view of our Cluster and its nodes, pods, etc.
  • The dashbaord feature of Splunk Observability Cloud, it gives us full flexibility to customize our dashboard with a wide range of predefined chart types.
  • Now it also supports OTEL, which is a plus point for observability. As now everyone is moving towards Otel and in current market there are only few tools who supports OTEL based integrations, Splunk Observability Cloud is one out of them.

  • Integration with deployment tools requires CLI knowledge

  • An indicator for errors on the navigations pane so that we don't have to go through each tab.
  • As we go more and more cloud maybe you guys can implement a pay-as-you-use strategy so that small companies using it not frequently can also afford it.
  • That's it can't think of any and it wont let me skip to next question. Thanks

  • User management and administration access account setup has room for improvement and can be more user friendly and clearly list how many admin accounts we can setup
  • password complexity for user accounts need to be updated
  • although all logs list all errors some of the tomcat errors are not time stamped
