Migration to a modern interface enhances AI integration and cloud capabilities
Presently, Oracle recommends migrating to Oracle Fusion since it's a hot product now. e-Business Suite may soon be sunsetted and has an outdated UI, with few upgrades. In contrast, Oracle Fusion offers modern features, such as AI, cloud-based applications, and customization options like Redwood features. Oracle Fusion AI chatbots are embedded, benefiting projects.
Saikat Nag - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers efficient load distribution with a scope of high scalability
Our organization configures Oracle WebLogic Server in such a way that a load balancer becomes available. The network requests are segregated to the Oracle WebLogic Server as the managing server and different nodes are configured. Using the product as a load balancer helps automate request transfer from one non-functional node to another functional node. Due to Oracle WebLogic Server, the endpoints remain unaffected whenever a node goes down. The clustering feature enhances our organization's performance and reliability. In our organization, the health of the Oracle WebLogic Server environment is maintained and managed using Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM). I would definitely recommend others to use Oracle WebLogic Server. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very easy to install."
"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."
"Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable."
"The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time."
"Oracle recommends moving to Oracle Fusion as they are constantly releasing new AI, modern, web-based, and cloud-based features with updated UI. With Redwood customization and AI chatbots embedded, Oracle Fusion stands ahead of older systems."
"The most valuable features are the pre-built connectors between Oracle applications, which allow quick integration. I also appreciate the fast deployment of components. Oracle Fusion Middleware's key benefit is enabling real-time data transfer between applications."
"The scalability is good."
"The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks."
"Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient."
"What I like best about Oracle WebLogic Server is its integration with other software."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The product's installation phase is easy."
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
 

Cons

"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."
"Oracle rapidly releases new features, and I may not be ready to adopt them."
"All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."
"One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms."
"Oracle rapidly releases new features, and I may not be ready to adopt them."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector."
"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."
"The product should improve BPEL features."
"The quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems."
"I can't point to anything missing."
"Licensing fees need improvement."
"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."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"Oracle's support team fails to understand the real problem of the customer, which is why they take time to resolve issues."
"There are always ways to improve. But it's getting better every time, with every new release, and every new patch, it's getting better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."
"My advice is to buy the basic modules first, gain the most benefit from them, then buy the advanced modules."
"The tool is best suited for large companies due to high licensing costs."
"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."
"The pricing is moderate. It's fine."
"We pay annually for the solution."
"The licensing costs are reasonable."
"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."
"Fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"It is expensive."
"The solution's licensing is high-priced."
"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server is expensive."
"Its high expense is a significant drawback"
"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."
"In our country, this is an expensive product."
"The tool's pricing is yearly."
