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."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"This is a robust solution."
"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."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
 

Cons

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"Its functions need more stability."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"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."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"For access management, WebLogic Suite is a heavy application. This application requires more time for installation compared to other products."
"The content search is not easy."
"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."
"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"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 rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price needs to be lowered."
"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."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"Scaling is costly."
"Technical support is very costly."
