"The product is flexible and allows us to leverage deployments."
"The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is secure."
"It's a scalable product."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"The technical support is responsive. They are always ready to help by various communication channels, such as Zoom calls. However, sometimes it will take a while because when we are dealing with a problem, they need to look at the logs and configuration. A lot of the issues are related to the configuration that they need to look at thoroughly before they can give us a solution and it can take a few days depending on the type of problem."
"It has good integration with security features, including OWASP."
"We've got the support we require. If ever there is an issue, can just call on Oracle and they will assist us."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the general web server features."
"We chose to use Tomcat because it's perfect compared to other containers that we have tested."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it supports Java Enterprise."
"Tomcat is user-friendly and easy to set up, especially compared to WebLogic or JBoss where some specialty is required. If you are going for Tomcat, you can use their guidelines and can set it up easily."
"The most valuable feature is the free EE server."
"The deployment process is very fast."
"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."
"There are always ways to improve. But it's getting better every time, with every new release, and every new patch, it's getting better."
"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 cost could always be lower."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"I can't point to anything missing."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"Technical support is limited."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"It would be great if they offered more integration of monitoring tools."
"In the solution, we are using the terminal to enter command line codes for operations and management, this is difficult for me. It would be better if we had some administrator UI tools for this."
"Tomcat is used mainly for database connections. As of now, we configure that environment for any database configuration. But if any utility can integrate where we can pass the database connection as a string of details, then it should encrypt them and keep them inside. From that security perspective, Tomcat requires improvement. They should integrate this security feature."
"The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss."
