Secure connectivity and efficient software deployment with robust documentation
Apache Web Server effectively runs any web application, including Java-based applications. It includes Apache Tomcat server, which is crucial. We implement SSL to ensure secure connectivity. AI can enhance our tasks, such as extracting logs and identifying errors, and we are exploring implementing AI in this area. The server is known for its efficiency, stability, and free accessibility.
SurajShah - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables robust access management while installation time requires patience
One area for improvement in WebLogic Suite is the installation time. Otherwise, there are no other disadvantages, and they have good support from Oracle. The installation time can be an issue. It is not necessarily a disadvantage as it is a heavy application, so it is understandable that it takes time.

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."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"Apache Web Server can be used as a proxy server"
"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."
"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"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."
"This is a robust solution."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"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."
"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."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."
"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."
"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."
"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"Compared to Apache and Microsoft platform products, WebLogic Suite has implementation complexity."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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