What do you like best about Apache Forrest?

Ability to take inputs from various sources and make into one document.

One main thing i like about it is - it's so user friendly and the navigation is really ease

Apache is Open Source, governed well (the foundation) and probably the most stable computing platform ever.

If there is something that Apache can not do, then you need to ask yourself; should I be doing that? The point here is that it is a solid solution and seems to only integrate other technologies that are of the highest caliber. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Forrest?

The one thing that I worry about Apache is the PHP language which is integrated into the platform. I am not sure if PHP has a relevant future. I worry about this because Python is becoming very popular.

And if your not familiar with any of these scripting languages - this toll isn't for you.

Apache SSL documentation can be better.

The default configurations which comes with Apache server needs to get optimized for performance and security with every new installation as these defaults are not recommended to push on the production environment directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Forrest:

At my previous organization, we use it all over the place. From serving static pages to full-blown web applications. We also use it as a proxy to pass traffic to tomcat applications. It is used across the whole organization and it is our goto web server. It is incredibly configurable and robust. Never a problem. We use it to serve https and use PHP extensively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Forrest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having multiple output formats - which is really useful

SVG to PNG rendering with the ability of aggregation from external sources.

Log files are detailed enough to determine vulnerabilities by providing multiple params which makes it easy to diagnose and debug the root cause of any server issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
