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 best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too."
"It is scalable."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."
"WebLogic Suite provides a stable application server experience."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
"This is a robust solution."
"The program is scalable."
 

Cons

"The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."
"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."
"Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"There isn't a dedicated customer support available"
"Its stability could be better."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"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."
"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."
"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."
"I think the support could be much better."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
"For access management, WebLogic Suite is a heavy application. This application requires more time for installation compared to other products."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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