platform provides reliable infrastructure for core systems while optimizing performance for enterprise needs

One of the most valuable features of WebLogic Suite is its integration with JMS services and queue services. We are planning to migrate to an API-based application structure. We use the JMS and queue mechanism, requiring optimization to handle performance challenges related to upscaling load, application load, and end-user demands. Continuous monitoring and evaluation are necessary to optimize MQs, JMS, and JVM elements related to WebLogic Suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We achieved specific outcomes from using Azul Zulu by reducing our Java licensing and support costs by approximately 70% when compared to our previous Oracle contract."

"We've had no issues with stability."

"The most valuable features are that it's easily deployable and easily scalable."

"What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."

"WebLogic Suite functions well for enterprise organizations that can manage its costs and resource demands."

"This is a robust solution."

"It integrates well with other solutions."

"I think that the best feature of WebLogic, as far as middleware goes, is that it's very license-friendly."

"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."

"It is beneficial because it integrates with our internal systems, resolving half of our problems for internal system integration, data retrieval, and subscription to specific events."

More WebLogic Suite pros

Cons

"Improvements for Azul Zulu could include more automated tools for unused code visibility integrated directly into the standard portal to help further optimize our cloud footprints."

"It needs a better update daemon. At this time the process is manual and could be an issue on multiple desktop deployments."

"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."

"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."

"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."

"The content search is not easy."

"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."

"When you run the WebLogic admin console, it takes a few minutes to come up."

"The initial setup and administration does require expertise."

"Because it's in the middleware layer, I would like to see better scalability for scaling up. Also, they should provide sizing guidelines so that customers can take it and deploy it."
