    Red Hat
    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.

    Supernova is the best documentation platform on the market, having tested numerous alternatives, including the more popular zeroheight, Knapsack, etc. It's ideal for low-code solutions for brand guidelines and detailed component documentation. Their automated exporter pipelines are the icing on the cake, enabling them to pull what you see in Figma and push it directly into your codebase.

    Pros
    Red Hat
    • 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.

    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

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

    It is occasionally buggy, but nowhere near as buggy as zeroheight.

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

    Supernova has best-in-class customer service. Our Figma library is a huge file and was unable to automatically sync with most platforms (including Supernova) - of all three platforms we tried, Supernova was the only one that actively assigned engineers to our case and offered a solution within a couple of days. They've been great partners.

    Return on Investment
    Red Hat
    • 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.
