IBM WebSphere Application Server Reviews

ROMA B.

Advanced user of IBM WebSphere Application Server

Highly recommend IBM WAS for all your App Base

What do you like best?

This was one of the first and best Applications servers I have ever worked with. Great to run Java based Applications with good Cluster Management Features. Best part is that IBM runs the updates in a timely manner ensuring and fixing the Bugs and poor performance from previous versions. I have looked at the tool from the support perspective as I was part of production Support team but I have heard that it works great for the Developers.

There is a WAS support available for people seeking more help with the tool. Very Handy.

What do you dislike?

From Support perspective again I felt that the logs did not give much information to debug the issues we saw. Other than that I did not have any problems.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Mostly used it to run and manage our Middleware Applications on it. Used it for scaling and real time communication with other servers in our organisation.
