Azul Zulu's ability to allow us to standardize our Java estate on a single and well-supported platform stands out as one of its best features. This standardization simplifies our compliance audits and ensures all our applications receive timely security updates.Azul Zulu positively impacts our organization by providing a platform that allows us to standardize Java on a well-supported platform.

platform provides reliable infrastructure for core systems while optimizing performance for enterprise needs
One of the most valuable features of WebLogic Suite is its integration with JMS services and queue services. We are planning to migrate to an API-based application structure. We use the JMS and queue mechanism, requiring optimization to handle performance challenges related to upscaling load, application load, and end-user demands. Continuous monitoring and evaluation are necessary to optimize MQs, JMS, and JVM elements related to WebLogic Suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We achieved specific outcomes from using Azul Zulu by reducing our Java licensing and support costs by approximately 70% when compared to our previous Oracle contract."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"WebLogic Suite functions well for enterprise organizations that can manage its costs and resource demands."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"Being extremely scalable is one of WebLogic's best features."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"We noticed a huge difference and, in comparison, Application Server was really quite flaky."
"It is beneficial because it integrates with our internal systems, resolving half of our problems for internal system integration, data retrieval, and subscription to specific events."
"There are so many good things about this application, I could go on for an hour."
"WebLogic Suite provides a stable application server experience."
 

Cons

"It needs a better update daemon. At this time the process is manual and could be an issue on multiple desktop deployments."
"Improvements for Azul Zulu could include more automated tools for unused code visibility integrated directly into the standard portal to help further optimize our cloud footprints."
"When you run the WebLogic admin console, it takes a few minutes to come up."
"Compared to Apache and Microsoft platform products, WebLogic Suite has implementation complexity."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"Cloning and replication could be much more flexible and standardized."
"For improvement, I think the area of clusters are sometimes problematic and we do have issues around that."
"We found Oracle technical support to be very, very difficult to deal with. To eventually get to the right engineer, you have to go through numerous escalations."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
