Quick deployment and easy implementation with complex logic challenges
We use Oracle Application Server for a loan management system. We created it for a client; it is a low-code platform. Everything is purchased in Oracle Cloud, and we use it to develop and deploy applications The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time…

Stable and scalable enterprise deployment with Cloud-Native support
Oracle WebLogic Server helps with my deployment strategy in both monolithic as well as Cloud-Native ways. I think it is useful; this Cloud-Native support helps with deployment in both on-prem and cloud. For container deployment, we are not very rich. We are in the process of moving our business logic to containerization. But in terms of this being a big product, a core banking system, I prefer on-prem rather than cloud. The use cases and the scrum help me a lot in an iterative, incremental manner. I would recommend this product; it is an enterprise, large volume, and of course, it is worth it to deploy. I am providing this review with a rating of 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time compared to normal development processes."
"I would rate Oracle WebLogic Server nine out of ten, possibly even ten points."
"The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"I recommend the product because the installation is easy, it provides a secure environment, and it's easy to manage. The solution provides easy monitoring. Accessing all the logs is easy, and deploying application versions is smooth."
"The product is flexible and allows us to leverage deployments."
"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."
"It's a very stable solution."
"Helps in efficient load distribution"
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"I've had issues with some of the tracking features tracking and have had to go back to several generations of code to fix problems where things were touched."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience."
"In terms of what could be improved, maybe something related to the processes automation or starting and stopping the processes, because often WebLogic comes with something called Node Manager. Node Manager needs to be configured and administrated manually."
"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature."
"The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files."
"If you want to use Oracle products to the fullest with enhanced customizations, you need to get trained. There is enough documentation and the flexibility to configure the application to your needs but you will need to spend more time gathering the knowledge."
"Licensing fees need improvement."
