  • With rapid growth, many business units used it just to use it as a Web application server, even if they didn't need a supported robust app server and could have used a open source alternative like Tomcat
  • High cost (license and maintenance) verse ROI for many applications that have limited users

  • Takes long time to learn deploy and adapt to the complexity and vast difference with other servers.
  • Negative impact on ROI in terms of more expertise needed may be compensated with more robust application that WAS offers.
  • Because of lack of ease of use, the time taken to deploy and run applications is high.
