Why Read This Report

Which application server has the fewest critical bugs? Is easiest to configure? Has the best quality overall? These questions play a key role in application development professionals' evaluations of their options for existing and future applications. Experience with early app servers has created a canon of popular wisdom about the quality of app server products, but five long-held assumptions within this canon are out of date. Overall, our survey revealed that the quality differences among major platforms, including Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and two open source options, are narrower than many application development professionals assume. The result: Application development professionals have better platform options to choose from than they might think.
