Easy to optimize for high performance and handle heavy traffic
Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours. Because I needed to optimize the Apache web server to run it as a high performer during my customers' usage, then I needed to reduce my Apache web server resource usage for that. So that part of the thing is what I was more interested in doing. So, I mainly liked the performance and security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers good security."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."
"Apache Web Server can be used as a proxy server"
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"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 functions well for enterprise organizations that can manage its costs and resource demands."
"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"The product is reliable."
"This is a robust solution."
 

Cons

"There is a security-related problem that depends on the web server's configuration."
"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."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"The support is not good."
"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 rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"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."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source solution."
"The apache software is free, open-source."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"There is no licensing cost for the product."
"Scaling is costly."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"Technical support is very costly."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
