Easy to optimize for high performance and handle heavy traffic
Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours. Because I needed to optimize the Apache web server to run it as a high performer during my customers' usage, then I needed to reduce my Apache web server resource usage for that. So that part of the thing is what I was more interested in doing. So, I mainly liked the performance and security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"The solution offers good security."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."
"This is a robust solution."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
 

Cons

"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"The GUI for the less experienced users needs some improvement. For some companies, it is hard to configure it if they have not had any experience."
"Its stability could be better."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"There is no need for improvement with WebLogic Suite, although its coherence is a bit more complicated."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."
"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The apache software is free, open-source."
"There is no licensing cost for the product."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"It is an open-source solution."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"Technical support is very costly."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"Scaling is costly."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
