What is IBM websphere commerce?

What do you like the most about IBM WebSphere?

  • Disclosure: I work on a competitive product to IBM WebSphere.

  • Answer:

    This isn't the answer you're looking for. I have what I call my "no fly zone", technologies I refuse to work with anymore. One of those is WebSphere. My problem isn't WebSphere itself, which is bloated and ugly but not a true nightmare. Rather, it's with the management mentality that leads to investing in WebSphere. At the enterprise level, there's a certain train of thought in management that if they spend a large enough pile of money on "enterprise" software from a slick enough salesman working for a big enough name, their problems will go away. There are organizations that will happily spend a couple million on WebSphere licenses, but would never consider spending that couple million on adding more staff instead! I've worked in big enterprise, and still have yet to find a problem that can be solved by WebSphere, but can't be solved by lighter weight solutions. There's a lot that WebSphere can do that lighter tech can't do, but most of that isn't a good idea to do in the first place. Meanwhile, I've seen countless hours wasted and projects go to ruin, because WebSphere made them unnecessarily complex and difficult. If you're competing with WebSphere, you're probably part of the problem.

Centralized management. I work with Websphere, Weblogic, Tomcat and JBoss and Websphere is better in some cases. Of course not for everything, we have a lot of projects that use Tomcat, Weblogic and JBoss and they work like a charm. Websphere is better than Weblogic in: standarization, weblogic since it was acquired by Oracle tends to put a lot of things to prevent you to being to be able to port your EAR, WAR and JAR apps to another server. Websphere also does but to a minor extend. Websphere is better than Tomcat in: centralized management of clusters, quite obvious. Websphere is better than JBoss: Integration with itself, meaning in JBoss you really can tell very good when they copy-pasted something from another project, while in Websphere the IBM guys try to keep it slightly together (from a visual point of view that the customers like). Obviously you may not like the overload that Websphere provides and you may not like it if your company pays some millions in licensing purposes, but Inditex uses WebSphere for Zara and they made 150 millions online in 2011 so be open minded. BTW: I was at Inditex the year before, bootstrapping part of the Websphere Commerce arquitecture team and I know well what I am talking about, Websphere ruled for them.
