A cost-effective solution for ERP solution but requires data analytics
We're a small and medium-sized business with data needs. Oracle’s features cater primarily to data management, which is relevant to us because our data size is moderate, hovering around 10 gigabytes. Before Oracle, we relied on Azure Microsoft SCS Server for our database, but it couldn't handle our optimization requirements. That's why we migrated to Oracle Server. We're apparently using VMware. Oracle is not operating 24/7. We haven't experienced any issues, but some power factor may have caused the server downtime. Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.

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."
"The technical support is responsive and they are always ready to help by various communication channels, such as Zoom calls."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"It has all the enterprise features we need, the initial setup is straightforward, technical support is helpful, the solution is stable, and it's a scalable product."
"The tool's technical support is very good."
"We've got the support we require. If ever there is an issue, can just call on Oracle and they will assist us."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is a stable product."
"I am satisfied with this solution, as well as WebSphere."
"We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own, and Oracle WebLogic Server performs well."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"However, if your implementation requires a lot of customization changes, such as changing the behavior or the skin, it will not be straightforward."
"The quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems."
"The basic “WebLogic Server” license does not support clustering and is useless in most enterprise situations."
"There are always ways to improve."
"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 full license is costly."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"The cost of the solution is okay, however, it could always be less."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing of the product is expensive"
"I would not compare WebSphere and WebLogic because both servers are really good. The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"Its high expense is a significant drawback"
"Fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"My company uses a licensed version of the product, so we get Oracle's support."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"The licensing fees are annual and depend on the model."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Oracle WebLogic Server?
