We performed a comparison between JBoss and Oracle WebLogic Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Server solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can deploy the applications on the JBoss server, so it is easy to manage. It's also easy to add new certificates to the config."
"The product integrates well with Java applications."
"The high availability is great."
"JBoss is a scalable tool."
"The tool's most beneficial feature is its scalability. People with limited technical knowledge can quickly grasp its functions with a brief introduction. The tool's ease of use makes it a plug-and-play solution, reducing the effort required to train users on its usage."
"We use JBoss mainly for application deployments and application servers."
"The stability is great."
"The solution's support is very good for repairing components."
"We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well."
"In WebLogic, the most useful feature is the UI administration console from where we can configure everything, such as security access, and we can start and stop it graphically. That's the best feature of WebLogic Server."
"It's a scalable product."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"The technical support is responsive. They are always ready to help by various communication channels, such as Zoom calls. However, sometimes it will take a while because when we are dealing with a problem, they need to look at the logs and configuration. A lot of the issues are related to the configuration that they need to look at thoroughly before they can give us a solution and it can take a few days depending on the type of problem."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is more secure and has full functionalities that can be used for big applications."
"The solution's documentation could be better."
"Having the support combined with Red Hat support would be an improvement."
"The stability of the solution could improve with Microsoft Windows."
"The tool's documentation could be improved to explain its usage and functionalities clearly. Having accessible documentation would save time for leaders like me when juniors seek information about it. The documentation should be self-explanatory and guide users on how to utilize the tool."
"In terms of monitoring, the old version was somewhat limited in flexibility, lacking the ability to easily adjust configurations."
"The solution sometimes crashed and had some compatibility issues with the DevOps JAR file."
"There is not much ability inside of the solution. The world is going beyond different micro and data-type things like Microsoft Office, so we are not seeing much ability within the solution."
"It can have automation features. Everybody is focused right now on automation. In terms of saving cost, automation is always the first thing that comes to light."
"If you want to use Oracle products to the fullest with enhanced customizations, you need to get trained. There is enough documentation and the flexibility to configure the application to your needs but you will need to spend more time gathering the knowledge."
"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"There are always ways to improve. But it's getting better every time, with every new release, and every new patch, it's getting better."
"The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience."
