Overall Satisfaction with Oracle GlassFish Server
We use GlassFish in a productive environment. On this server we deploy the following administrative applications: human development, income, budgets, patrimonial control system, income (returns), cost systems, system of obligatory registers, system of embargoes and control of supplies, economic benefits, clinic, treasury, administration and follow-up of contracts, service tickets, service system and transportation maintenance, infrastructure and maintenance system, follow-up of contracts, measurement of internal and external satisfaction of users.
All the support departments of the substantive units make use of the systems, throughout 14 locations nationwide.
Basically, the core part of the internal operation is managed with the Oracle Glassfish Server platform.
- The product offers Java EE support.
- As the version supported by Oracle we have an extensive documentation, the Oracle GlassFish server online documentation library, patches ,and support from the supplier.
- Ease of use through the administration console.
- Integration with the NetBeans development interface.
- When we use the versions of GlassFish Server that were just released to the market, it causes bugs to appear. While there are workarounds to solve them in most cases, the amount of time to solve them is significant. Therefore, I would advise waiting for it to be a little more stable and for a few months to pass before proceeding to an update of a productive environment.
- The platform has been stable for us so we do not experience falls or service interruptions. The investment is lower compared to other solutions in the market and we have solid support from Oracle.
At the time we did a small proof of concept with both platforms and Oracle Glassfish had more intuitive administration and configuration functions
