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…

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

"The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time compared to normal development processes."
"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."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"The product is flexible and allows us to leverage deployments."
"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."
"The technical support is responsive and they are always ready to help by various communication channels, such as Zoom calls."
"In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."
"I mostly like the stability."
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"Installation, upgrade and patching are probably the most challenging administration tasks."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is not fully integrated with Oracle Enterprise Manager."
"In terms of what could be improved, maybe something related to the processes automation or starting and stopping the processes, because often WebLogic comes with something called Node Manager. Node Manager needs to be configured and administrated manually."
"The Oracle team is not a good provider when it comes to supporting. They do not have good knowledge of the technical aspects, so Google is better."
"Configuration can be a significant challenge, demanding a deep understanding and expertise."
"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."
"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature."
