Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"JBoss Enterprise Application Platform works very well."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and performance."
"The most valuable aspect of JBoss EAP is its support for clustering and load balancing, which is essential for our applications that serve multiple users simultaneously."
"Its technical support is excellent."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Stable and easy to handle in terms of hosting applications."
"It's convenient and barebone."
"The product is reliable."
"This is a robust solution."
"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"WebLogic Suite provides a stable application server experience."
"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 feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
 

Cons

"Improvement is needed in the synchronization between cluster nodes, especially under network strain."
"This solution needs better management UI."
"Its architecture needs improvement."
"Lacks some functional requirements."
"It's hard to find out the root cause of errors."
"A graphic user interface can be added."
"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 rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"There is no need for improvement with WebLogic Suite, although its coherence is a bit more complicated."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"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."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source solution."
"While I am not directly involved with the financial aspects, JBoss is known for its reasonable subscription pricing. Potential users should consider whether the cost aligns with their budget and requirements."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"Technical support is very costly."
"Scaling is costly."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
