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 am satisfied with this solution, as well as WebSphere."
"WebLogic is a mature Java application server and when compared to competitors, it excels in speed, scalability and stability."
"The tool's technical support is very good."
"The solution works well in load balancing."
"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 technical support is responsive and they are always ready to help by various communication channels, such as Zoom calls."
"Helps in efficient load distribution"
"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"I'd like to have a lighter version for micro-service architecture. In my experience, it can sometimes take 15-30 minutes just to start the server if we deploy a lot of applications."
"There are always ways to improve."
"The integration could be improved. We need technology to be able to integrate."
"The basic “WebLogic Server” license does not support clustering and is useless in most enterprise situations."
"The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool's pricing is yearly."

"Its high expense is a significant drawback"
"The licensing fees are annual and depend on the model."
"It is expensive."
"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server is expensive."
"As Oracle WebLogic Server is a product from Oracle, it is bound to be an expensive solution. My company needs to make annual payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
