platform provides reliable infrastructure for core systems while optimizing performance for enterprise needs
One of the most valuable features of WebLogic Suite is its integration with JMS services and queue services. We are planning to migrate to an API-based application structure. We use the JMS and queue mechanism, requiring optimization to handle performance challenges related to upscaling load, application load, and end-user demands. Continuous monitoring and evaluation are necessary to optimize MQs, JMS, and JVM elements related to WebLogic Suite.

Central console enables us to see all of the activated and deactivated computers but it has poor alerts and frustrating technical support
The solution needs to allow for other company product licenses to be included if possible. The solution needs to include other Microsoft products, like Exchange, SharePoint, etc. Right now, it's only for Windows and Office. The solution needs to be made web-based. Right now, we have to install some tools and to use these tools we have to log into a specific server. If that server has an issue we cannot manage it. The solution needs to be able to be managed from any machine. Alerting capabilities should be improved. If a license expires or there is a breach, or something is non-compliant, the solution should send out alerts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"We noticed a huge difference and, in comparison, Application Server was really quite flaky."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"The cluster configuration and cluster performance are the most valuable features for us, and they're better in this most recent version than in previous ones, making it a better solution overall."
"Technically, there's absolutely nothing that you cannot get from a WebLogic Server in terms of availability and scalability."
"Being extremely scalable is one of WebLogic's best features."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the central console, that allows you to see all of the activated and deactivated computers."
 

Cons

"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."
"We found Oracle technical support to be very, very difficult to deal with. To eventually get to the right engineer, you have to go through numerous escalations."
"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."
"Cloning and replication could be much more flexible and standardized."
"If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price."
"WebLogic is really a solution for enterprise companies, meaning that it requires a lot of RAM. Sometimes you're working on a smaller application but WebLogic still needs a huge amount of RAM for it to work."
"I think the support could be much better."
"The solution is kind of a necessary evil for us."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
"Scaling is costly."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"Technical support is very costly."
