We performed a comparison between NGINX Plus, Oracle SOA Suite, and WebLogic Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use NGINX."
"I find the solution’s community support and documentation most valuable. Compared to HAProxy, have found a lot of documentation and community support on Quora. If you would be asking me as a developer whether to choose this product, I would recommend this since it has good community support, documentation, and signature updates. The configuration of HAProxy is also very tedious. However, NGINX’s configuration is very simple."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature."
"The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"The integration with various products."
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."
"The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"This is a robust solution."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."
"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login."
"The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra."
"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."
"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"The web services need to be more robust."
"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."
"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."
"The content search is not easy."
"I think the support could be much better."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
"The support is not good."
