What do you like best about Wildfly?

Because of my familiarity with JBOSS, I found Wildfly easy to get started with and very stable in use. Very simple to download and install and not very taxing to deploy in an enterprise environment. Many that are familiar with JBOSS or Redhat platforms will have very little issues implementing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildfly?

The only issue we have expereinced in the past was related to memory consumption while in use. We have since upgraded the servers so that reosurce allocation is not an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildfly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company and developers required a robust and stable application server to host multiple web applications in a multi-tenant environment. Our engineers have deployed this application/service in multiple environments, with several customers, and we have experienced very few challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wildfly?

The easiness with which we can get started and the stability of the product. Right from downloading and installing to deploying an enterprise grade web app - The easiness that Wildfly provides, is absolutely worth a mention. I have also evaluated multiple paid / commercial app servers as well as open source servers. I would rate Wildfly as one among the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildfly?

So far, I could not find any reason why I should dislike Wildfly. If there is one minor thing then it might be the amount of memory it consumes while running. But then when you are dealing with an enterprise grade application server, you cannot complain much about this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildfly:

If you need something quick and stable, you can just blindly trust this server. There is no way it is going to let you down. I have personally used and recommended Wildfly in multiple applications and projects and the reason why I keep recommending Wildfly again is the amazing amount of productivity you can achieve by opting for this. You would not be wasting time on unnecessary issues and you can focus on your technical needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildfly solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need a stable and robust application server to host my web applications. I have evaluated multiple servers and found it easy to deal with Wildfly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wildfly?

The main admin console is very user friendly.

Especially after wildfly 18, the server restart process is also very very fast. Previously in wildfly 10, it will take lot of time on server restart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wildfly?

Not dislike actually, may be my less knowledge of wildfly

In Apache, there is a server directory, where we can just put a html file, and we can access that path directly from url.

In wildfly, I need to add that path from standalone file.

And also wildfly upgradation task may can improved. If possible by simple a path file or something, instead of the reconfigured the whole server! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Wildfly:

Stablity. In my experience with wildfly, I have never faced any issue on the server due to AS or blocked while changing the configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wildfly solving and how is that benefiting you?

There was a time when we faced a JDBC connection issue after a few hours of server start on our production server. By observing wildfly's admin console, we came to know what is the main reason behind the issue and resolved it within a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On the company I've worked until recently, we used Wildfly at different stages of product development. On implementation, we used wildlfy docker images that intend to mimick all the other environments' architecture. Then in the testing and production environments, we used Wildfly to host our web applications. It was always very reliable and it rarely caused errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
