Hello Community members. I hope you are all doing well.
Thank you to all of you who completed the WebSphere & Liberty Community survey, which ended last month. Our two survey draw winners were kind enough to share a bit about themselves and agreed to let us share their information with the rest of this Community.
Meet our two winners:

How are you using WebSphere or Liberty: We extensively use WebSphere ND and Liberty products in our projects. Considering we are going through digital disruption in recent days, it has become very important and critical to start using Liberty features to the fullest extent possible especially when we are going towards MicroServices based models. Many of our applications heavily rely on WebSphere ND (8.5/9.0) and Liberty (19/20) and they are acting like a core product in our project.
-
What is a challenge you currently have? We get a very good product support from IBM on the WebSphere/IBM suite of products like WebSphere, Liberty, MQ, IIB, DataPower, APIC, FileNet, etc. and product teams are really helpful in identifying the product issues and able to provide the fixes at the earliest whenever any IBM cases are raised. We would expect the same extended support from IBM along with Red Hat in collaboration as there are hybrid products of both IBM and Red Hat open source like OpenShift that we use. Thank you.
-
What do you like most about the Community: WebSphere and Liberty community is helping a lot of companies/individuals in addressing the majority of the product related enhancements, bugs, issues and providing the fixes and recommendations for proper build of the middleware stack. Quick responses and detailed explanations about any query from the experts is much appreciated. Thank you.
