### "Open source, free java servlet to implement Java ERPs and act as a HTTP web server!!"

August 12, 2021

4.0

Overall experience is good if you want to run your middle size ERPs or websites.

Pros

Apache Tomcat being open source software is getting better after every release as Host developers are contributing towards the improvement of the software. Apache tomcat is very fast and light weight software that can be used as HTTP web server and we can implement Java ERP systems on tomcat. I developed a real estate website on .NET framework and hosted my site using Apache Tomcat web server, loading time of the website is great and apache handles the requests very smoothly.

Cons

UI for administration console is very basic and needs improvements. Setting up security for Administration console is a difficult task. Most of the big applications in corporate sector are running on cluster type infrastructure, sadly tomcat's support to handle cluster level infrastructure is not very good.

### "Complejo de configurar, muy práctico en su uso"

December 12, 2022

5.0

Una vez aprendí su manejo, me resulta muy útil para mis trabajos como programador. Costará un poco que todo funcione bien, pero os aseguro que merece la pena

Pros

Las posibilidades de apache tomcat son ilimitadas. Teniendo tu propio servidor puede configurar tus aplicaciones, desplegarlas, probarlas,... Además, se puede configurar totalmente a tu gusto. Personalmente, prefiero usarlo en Linux mejor que en windows, pero en ambos funciona de maravilla

Cons

Hay que entender bastante para aprender a configurarlo y utilizarlo. Si fuera un poco más intuitivo, resultaría más práctico
