We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server, NGINX Plus, and WebLogic Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure.
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"The solution offers good security."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"Zero Downtime has always been a strength in recommending infrastructure web services. NGINX allows me to execute such infrastructure with less complications and the ability to switch from server to server easily."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"Its most valuable features are load balancing and application delivery. This is the most efficient application for these features because of stability and its efficiency."
"This is a robust solution."
"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."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"The program is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"Its stability could be better."
"The GUI for the less experienced users needs some improvement. For some companies, it is hard to configure it if they have not had any experience."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."
"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"I would like to see the Grafana integration in NGINX which is already present in HAProxy. Grafana integration will help the solution visualize all the data analytics on the dashboard which is currently not present."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. "
"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."
"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."
"The content search is not easy."
"I think the support could be much better."
"The support is not good."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for 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."
