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

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 would rate Oracle WebLogic Server nine out of ten, possibly even ten points."
"Helps in efficient load distribution"
"We've got the support we require. If ever there is an issue, can just call on Oracle and they will assist us."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"It is efficient, not redundant, usable, scalable, and meant for enterprise applications."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is secure."
"One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance."
"In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"I've had issues with some of the tracking features tracking and have had to go back to several generations of code to fix problems where things were touched."
"This is a complex application."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"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."
"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature."
"The integration could be improved."
"Oracle's support team fails to understand the real problem of the customer, which is why they take time to resolve issues."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
