We performed a comparison between Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle WebLogic Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Server solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework."
"One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part."
"The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time."
"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."
"The initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory."
"Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Oracle Fusion is stable."
"The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is secure."
"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 good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"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."
"The product should improve BPEL features."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes."
"One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms."
"Its price can be improved. We are currently looking for more cost-efficiency. It should also have a little bit more flexibility for customizations. The customizations should be quicker."
"The price could always be better."
"The documentation might not be good enough for new users."
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."
"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."
"The quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems."
"Licensing fees need improvement."
"The cost could always be lower."
"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."
"If you want to use Oracle products to the fullest with enhanced customizations, you need to get trained. There is enough documentation and the flexibility to configure the application to your needs but you will need to spend more time gathering the knowledge."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"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."
