What do you like best about Apache Shiro?

I used Apache Shiro in one of my projects. It's a highly configurable authentication framework for Java based web applications. It provides role and permission based authentication and authorization facility. The hashing algorithm used for storing the credentials are also user pluggable and you can switch them to the latest and greatest industrial algorithms you want to use. No sweat in using it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Shiro?

Some more how-to guides would be nice to have for using the framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Shiro:

I would say try it out, it's light weight and easy to try. If it meets your requirements go for it. Many things are configurable, providing a lot of flexibility in implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using it as a plug and play authentication framework in my projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
