Overall Satisfaction with Apache Tomcat
Tomcat is utilized across our enterprise as a solid, complaint, j2ee web container.
- Tomcat easily integrates with Apache HTTP server over jk_mod.
- Web app deployment is simplistic.
- The application can be easily replicated across installations.
- The server is compact and can be deployed into various enterprise schemes, including virtual servers, cloud, docker containers, with little administration necessary.
- Tomcat can help facilitate micro services and make deployment management easier.
- Adding more default logging and log rotation capabilities outside of standard OS level Crontab would be appreciated
- The management console is an under utilized web app and for the most part could be discarded. If required, the app could be brought in but is mostly unnecessary overhead.
- Adding a mobile manager may also help users that are less inclined to get directly on the server.
- Positive gains by rapid deployment and touch less support.
- We spend little time maintaining and have automated upgrades of Tomcat so that very little resource allocation is required.
- Having third party vendors actively participate in the support process of Tomcat is also a value add for our business objectives.

Tomcat is definitely easier to implement, continues to be supported and further development to enrich the existing feature set carries on. It is the industry, de facto standard. With third party vendors offering support for the industry standard, utilizing another solution is the furthest thing from our technical roadmap that one could imagine.
