Pros	Open Source No answers on this topic	Oracle The product offers Java EE support.

Cons	Open Source No answers on this topic	Oracle One of the areas where we found Glassfish adaptation difficult for our company was the lack of documentation and community forums covering important issues. We ran into a roadblock with OAuth 2.0 implementation and did not get great support on that issue. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Open Source No answers on this topic	Oracle At the time we did a small proof of concept with both platforms and Oracle Glassfish had more intuitive administration and configuration functions Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Return on Investment	Open Source No answers on this topic	Oracle Glassfish which initially spun off from an Open Source project has a community edition which is free to use and offers great ROI. In comparison to cloud offerings like AWS and Google App Engine, Glassfish requires more cost upfront for installation and management. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
