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."
"In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"The product has a lot of versatility as far as what we can do with it and that flexibility is valuable in our ability to leverage deployments."
"The most valuable feature is the performance and it has good integration with security features, including OWASP."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is more secure and has full functionalities that can be used for big applications."
"I am satisfied with this solution, as well as WebSphere."
"I would rate Oracle WebLogic Server nine out of ten, possibly even ten points."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"The Oracle team is not a good provider when it comes to supporting. They do not have good knowledge of the technical aspects, so Google is better."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is not fully integrated with Oracle Enterprise Manager."
"Configuration can be a significant challenge, demanding a deep understanding and expertise."
"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server and other Oracle products has room for improvement because the pricing model isn't easy to understand. I'd like to see lower pricing from Oracle WebLogic Server. That's the main issue with the solution."
"The basic “WebLogic Server” license does not support clustering and is useless in most enterprise situations."
"I can't point to anything missing."
"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."
