Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

platform provides reliable infrastructure for core systems while optimizing performance for enterprise needs
One of the most valuable features of WebLogic Suite is its integration with JMS services and queue services. We are planning to migrate to an API-based application structure. We use the JMS and queue mechanism, requiring optimization to handle performance challenges related to upscaling load, application load, and end-user demands. Continuous monitoring and evaluation are necessary to optimize MQs, JMS, and JVM elements related to WebLogic Suite.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet (based on WebCenter)."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"The most valuable features to me are the ability to create contents with the interface, such as creating database tables, and the product's JSP APIs and REST APIs are also very useful."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"The program is scalable."
"Being extremely scalable is one of WebLogic's best features."
"I have seen benefits from the middleware capability of WebLogic Suite for creating cohesive IT ecosystems, and it's stable."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"If you don’t want any outages, you want peace of mind, and your application running smoothly, I would say go for WebLogic."
"When you're running a business and you have customers around the country depending on you to get the business done, having the up time, having the server stable, and having that support behind us is the most important thing."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
 

Cons

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"Its functions need more stability."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"Probably some greater ability to support API management and some greater ability to do things like supporting Node.js."
"We found Oracle technical support to be very, very difficult to deal with. To eventually get to the right engineer, you have to go through numerous escalations."
"The patching is painful; if they wouldn’t release as frequently."
"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."
"I would like to see better integration with some of the cloud stuff that Oracle provides."
"When you run the WebLogic admin console, it takes a few minutes to come up."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"Technical support is very costly."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"Scaling is costly."
