Quick deployment and easy implementation with complex logic challenges
We use Oracle Application Server for a loan management system. We created it for a client; it is a low-code platform. Everything is purchased in Oracle Cloud, and we use it to develop and deploy applications The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time…
Saikat Nag - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers efficient load distribution with a scope of high scalability
Our organization configures Oracle WebLogic Server in such a way that a load balancer becomes available. The network requests are segregated to the Oracle WebLogic Server as the managing server and different nodes are configured. Using the product as a load balancer helps automate request transfer from one non-functional node to another functional node. Due to Oracle WebLogic Server, the endpoints remain unaffected whenever a node goes down. The clustering feature enhances our organization's performance and reliability. In our organization, the health of the Oracle WebLogic Server environment is maintained and managed using Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM). I would definitely recommend others to use Oracle WebLogic Server. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time compared to normal development processes."
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."
"We've got the support we require. If ever there is an issue, can just call on Oracle and they will assist us."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"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."
"What I like best about Oracle WebLogic Server is its integration with other software."
"One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance."
"The product's installation phase is easy."
 

Cons

"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"Oracle's support team fails to understand the real problem of the customer, which is why they take time to resolve issues."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"Configuration can be a significant challenge, demanding a deep understanding and expertise."
"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything."
"The pricing is a little bit higher compared to other products."
