Rapid prototypes have boosted development while long-term growth now needs clearer paths
My main use case for Nakama is the backend and matchmaking, and matchmaking is the most important aspect of Nakama for myself. The other real-time transport and parties and groups are built into that project, which is why I consider Nakama instead of writing my own backend and matchmaking. Matchmaking is by far Nakama's best feature. Matchmaking stands out for me because it is easy to deploy and get running, especially in contrast to Open Match, which requires a lot of work and setup to get things moving. Nakama provides this service in a simple manner, so I do not have to be a cloud engineer or backend engineer to set things up in order to have matchmaking. The real-time capabilities, parties, and groups of Nakama are straightforward and fast for various use cases, particularly if I am developing my own multiplayer game and need a transport layer. Instead of using raw TCP/IP sockets, I can use Nakama's sockets, which simplifies the process, making everything go in and out from the WebSocket.

Stable and scalable enterprise deployment with Cloud-Native support
Oracle WebLogic Server helps with my deployment strategy in both monolithic as well as Cloud-Native ways. I think it is useful; this Cloud-Native support helps with deployment in both on-prem and cloud. For container deployment, we are not very rich. We are in the process of moving our business logic to containerization. But in terms of this being a big product, a core banking system, I prefer on-prem rather than cloud. The use cases and the scrum help me a lot in an iterative, incremental manner. I would recommend this product; it is an enterprise, large volume, and of course, it is worth it to deploy. I am providing this review with a rating of 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using Nakama has definitely helped my team save time and resources in measurable ways, such as faster development, particularly if we build multiplayer games according to their provided structure, although creating something with very custom features can be challenging."
"Nakama helps my team prototype and iterate faster, as instead of spending one to three months writing my own backend and matchmaking, I can start right away with Nakama, which represents a huge productivity gain at the start."
"In just a few hours, you can get a new game and a server with many features."
"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."
"We have found the stability to be excellent and the product is very reliable."
"The product is flexible and allows us to leverage deployments."
"I recommend the product because the installation is easy, it provides a secure environment, and it's easy to manage. The solution provides easy monitoring. Accessing all the logs is easy, and deploying application versions is smooth."
"Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient."
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"Helps in efficient load distribution"
 

Cons

"The biggest problem we had was that while it has some really nice features, dealing with the tournaments and leaderboards and how they are fixed and static makes the development process a bit of a hassle."
"The scalability of Nakama is not very good if using the open source version, as it lacks distributed presence features."
"Customer support for Nakama has not been that good based on my experience when we reached out to them."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"The cost of the solution is okay, however, it could always be less."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server and other Oracle products has room for improvement because the pricing model isn't easy to understand. I'd like to see lower pricing from Oracle WebLogic Server. That's the main issue with the solution."
"The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
"The basic “WebLogic Server” license does not support clustering and is useless in most enterprise situations."
"Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience."
