Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 5, 2025

WebLogic Suite and IIS compete in the application server and web hosting market. Based on scalability and enterprise integration, WebLogic Suite has an upper hand, whereas IIS’s simplicity and integration within Microsoft environments give it advantages for smaller applications.

Features: WebLogic Suite offers robust scalability, effective geo-spatial data handling, and rich integration with Oracle products. It supports high-volume transactions and provides a strong base for enterprise applications. IIS integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft ecosystem, offering simplicity and cost-effectiveness. It includes a user-friendly interface and effectively manages resources for basic hosting needs.

Room for Improvement: WebLogic Suite could enhance transaction monitoring, improve SaaS/PaaS offerings, and simplify deployment processes. Its multi-tenancy feature can also be improved. IIS could benefit from better compatibility with non-Microsoft environments, enhanced security, and improved clustering and monitoring capabilities.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: WebLogic Suite is often deployed on-premises with some hybrid models, offering good escalated support, although its complexity can challenge new users. IIS is easily managed within the Microsoft ecosystem, benefiting from integrated support and straightforward deployment, especially for existing Microsoft users.

Pricing and ROI: WebLogic Suite demands a significant investment in licensing and support, justified by its enterprise-level features and integration benefits, offering good ROI. IIS, packaged with Windows Server, reduces initial costs and offers clear pricing advantages, particularly for users already within Microsoft environments, enabling them to leverage existing infrastructure for better value.

ROI

Sentiment score

6.5

IIS offers positive ROI with authentication benefits, affordability, and security, though user-friendly improvements are suggested for accessibility.

Sentiment score

8.1

Users achieve ROI with WebLogic Suite by optimizing capacity, needing minimal administration, and benefiting from Oracle integration.

It should be more user-friendly overall, because unless you know how IIS works as a Microsoft product, a system admin cannot just manage it.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score

7.1

IIS is scalable for varied applications, though dependent on hardware, with improvements in clustering and flexible service management.

Sentiment score

8.2

WebLogic Suite offers scalability and reliability, efficiently handling large user loads and transactions, especially with optimized server integrations.

It depends on the server environment and the presence of a UPS for power backup.

Ibrahim Sherif

IT System Administrator at Bouri

I would rate the scalability of IIS as a six, mainly due to integration issues since it cannot integrate with other environments.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score

7.8

IIS is stable and reliable, excelling with .NET but facing stability issues with non-Microsoft technologies. Rated 7-9/10.

Sentiment score

7.6

WebLogic Suite is stable and robust, handling diverse environments well with minor issues often related to applications, not itself.

I would give it a nine out of ten for stability.

Room For Improvement

IIS struggles with compatibility, user-friendliness, integration, performance, security, and documentation challenges, posing significant user and scalability issues.

WebLogic Suite needs improved usability, scalability, performance, support, and streamlined processes for better cloud, documentation, and administration.

It should be more user-friendly because unless you know how IIS works as a Microsoft product, a system admin cannot just manage it.

Krishnakumar Natarajan

Systems Engineer at Atos

If I compare IIS to other web servers such as Apache, which can be deployed in other environments like Linux, I find IIS is mostly used for simple things.

Setup Cost

IIS licensing is bundled with Windows Server, offering flexible options but may incur extra costs for services and fees.

WebLogic Suite is expensive and complex, ideal for financially strong companies, with flexible cloud pricing options for growth.

If you have a Windows license, there is no additional cost for IIS.

Ibrahim Sherif

IT System Administrator at Bouri

We never had any pricing issue, but I don't know if it is competitive or not.

Designs and manages multiple websites while ensuring data backup and disaster recovery

I have experience with AWS, and I am most familiar with the server environment, as we just use the server environment and then use Microsoft products on an AWS environment. I have experience with Windows Server IIS, which I ran on my own on-premise data center. The website was developed and then hosted, and through IIS, we managed the servers. The manageability within the IIS environment is not very difficult. For server management, you need to ensure data backup, data restore, and you have a DR configured to keep the database intact. It was done on-premises, so I had no problem doing that. If you have to go to the cloud, then you should have the storage connected to the IIS server and also have a DR set up for that. I didn't use Microsoft Azure tools, but since it is a Microsoft product, Azure has all the portability, so you don't have to worry about compatibility on the cloud. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate this solution a 10.
