I'm not sure what your comparison criteria are. From a GlassFish
perspective, here are the *high-level* differentiators:
1) GlassFish is the fastest open source application server.

2) GlassFish offers centralized management of clusters and instances
distributed across multiple servers.
3) Outstanding documentation (we are told that this is a differentiator)

4) Microsoft .NET 3.0 web services interoperability

5) Java Business Integration support

6) Ease of use (based on community/customer feedback), much of which
centers around the administration console and easy cluster creation and
configuration. Just a few clicks.
7) Call flow analysis for diagnosing performance problems
Summary description, along with other features, here:

8) High performing message queue implementation (Open Message Queue),
with a highly available message store.

9) Update center for downloading additional features, samples,
blueprints, etc.
10) Java EE 5 reference implementation. Full Java EE 5 support a year
(or more) ahead of the others open source appservers
I'd like to work with you on updating the following chart as you learn more.
