Top Rated Apache TomEE Alternatives
I use it as a localhost server to run all the applications that we use at work. We basically use it with Java projects. I really like that the server combines that combines several Java enterprise projects including Apache MyFaces. Apache TomEE is a Java EE Web Profile-certified stack which is built on top of an Apache Tomcat base integrated with additional related technologies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not very fast if you add to the project a lot of web applications. You have to be a little bit advanced to configure it well, it's not very user friendly. And I do not like that you have to stop it and run it again if you change any file of your project. It's a pain in the ass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The extensive support it offers while comparing tomcat is the highlight like the technologies(JSR,EJB) it offers which is lacking in tomcat. It can also help us in connecting to the legacy system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI feature is as similar to Tomcat which was in the past. So other than this, i am not able to grasp things that i dislike about apache tomee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TomEE is so easy to install, very light on the system and still can host enterprise applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are so many versions of TomEE available to download, which was confusing for an implementor like me. I don't think software developers will have this problem though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We recently migrated to TomEE container from Glassfish and quickly deployed it into AWS EC2 instance. Apache TomEE is the most suitable application server compatible with Java 1.8+ JVMs. Also easy to configure like tomcat container. Apache TomEE administrator console is very user-friendly and easy to manage deployed applications. Apache TomEE provides good support to server memory management and GC. Very lightweight Application server, and JVM had to allocate significantly less memory allocation for Apache TomEE. Very easy to configure security layers such as SSL with the TomEE server. TomEE enables good plugins to integrate the server with project build tools and IDEs. Easy to run the server on debug mode with IDEs such as IntelliJ and Eclipse.

Need more support with inbuilt libraries to OpenEJB application configurations. Need to improve server loggings. Better if Apache TomEE introduces logging streams or a similar architecture to manage server logs. Better providing more features to detect memory leaks in server.

1. The most Attraction for any JavaDeveloper is, of course, its compatible implementation of Web Profile and inclusion of Open-Source Components.
2. The second Feature is its supplementation of support for various Technologies (CDI - Apache OpenWebBeans, EJB - Apache OpenEJB , JPA - Apache OpenJPA, JSF - Apache MyFaces
JSP - Apache Tomcat,JSTL - Apache Tomcat,JTA - Apache Geronimo Transaction,Servlet - Apache Tomcat,Javamail - Apache Geronimo JavaMail,Bean Validation - Apache Val). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Tomcat Interface is Basic, Limited, Simple with limited functionalities.
2.More prone to Crashes, Failures, Memory Leaks when dealing with Complex Application Development.
3. Configurations that are meant to be custom-based have a steep Learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's small foot print and recent support to Eclipse Microprofile and JakartaEE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not sure if OpenEJB is still required. JMS 2.0 compliance container should have been ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Harness the power of the java language with this quick and easy to deploy tomcat server. It has all the web essentials you'll need to jumpstart your web project from out of the box to the client. Simply start her up, drop a WAR, and she'll see you on port 8080. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's very little I don't like about the TomEE server. If I am to deploy a web application I certainly would choose it over a vanilla Tomcat. As a developer, you know that building apps is a lot like Legos, and the same is true for Java itself. So if you want something like native JSON parsing, you'll have to bring in something like Gson as it doesn't come pre-packaged. But, it's easy enough to add the JARs you want, and it's a small price to pay. I mean, it cant come with EVERYTHING out of the box, right? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


Apache TomEE is the enterprise level implementation of JavaEE standard.
It based on Apache Tomcat the most powerful and OpenSource servlet container. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing. JavaEE deprecated :( Now, all projects use Spring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


I usually use it as a Local server for the deployment of my JavaEE applications. This server can combine several Java business projects based only on its configuration. TomEE is a secure and very stable server that efficiently manages the resources of each application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface can be improved to facilitate the learning of use of the server. If you deploy many applications in the same project, the performance goes down and tends to become slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
