We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server and WebLogic Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution offers good security."
"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."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"It is scalable."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"The product is reliable."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"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."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"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."
"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."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."
"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."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
