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.

It allows you to deal with any mediation situation based on messages using concepts like proxy services and APIs.

The Data Services Server is a beautiful product which allows you to "expose" your data as REST and/or SOAP services secured or not using any of the databases you might to keep your business data. Using with the Identity server it gives you the possibility to manage all the identity subjects in your Organization, it connects out of the box to any corporate user store you have through LDAP or JDBC, it allows you to manage different mechanisms to implement authentication / authorization using Web SSO, SAML2, OAUTH2, federated authentication, among others. Also, it allows you to control all this through its administrative interface which could be exposed out of the box as SOAP services and also you can use it to implement role based access controls using XACML policies and business claims.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."

"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."

"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."

"It runs smoothly and everything works fine."

"We noticed a huge difference and, in comparison, Application Server was really quite flaky."

"On the whole, I would say Oracle is far better, it more superior to the IBM product."

"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."

"What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."

More WebLogic Suite pros

"The Enterprise Service Bus is really fast and flexible, it allows you to deal with any mediation situation based on messages using concepts like proxy services, APIs, and it has lots of connectors that facilitates its interaction with other products."

Cons

"The initial setup and administration does require expertise."

"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."

"I think the support could be much better."

"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."

"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."

"For access management, WebLogic Suite is a heavy application. This application requires more time for installation compared to other products."

"Probably some greater ability to support API management and some greater ability to do things like supporting Node.js."

"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. 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. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."

More WebLogic Suite cons

"In a general sense, the documentation of these products should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."

"Scaling is costly."

"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."

"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."

"Technical support is very costly."
