We performed a comparison between Oracle WebLogic Server and Tomcat 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."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."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is more secure and has full functionalities that can be used for big applications."
"The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"It has good integration with security features, including OWASP."
"The solution works well in load balancing."
"In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"What I like best about Oracle WebLogic Server is its integration with other software."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the general web server features."
"The most valuable feature is how simple it is to deploy the solution."
"Tomcat is a simple, light environment, whereas the full Red Hat Fuse solution is heavier."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to host applications."
"The most valuable feature is the free EE server."
"The deployment process is very fast."
"Licensing fees need improvement."
"The integration could be improved."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"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."
"The pricing is a little bit higher compared to other products."
"The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files."
"The quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"If Apache can come up with a better solution to provide better security, that would be ideal."
"It would be great if they offered more integration of monitoring tools."
"The solution's interface and backup features could be better."
"Vulnerability is one of the areas that can be considered an issue in the solution."
"One way to improve the solution is by making the logging capabilities of Tomcat better by providing a logger within the server itself and making it easy to access and view the server logs. This can be especially useful when debugging issues with applications deployed on the Tomcat server. By having the ability to view both the application logs and the server logs, you can more easily identify the source of any issues and troubleshoot them more efficiently. Providing a connector or other similar feature that allows you to access the server logs from within your application can also be helpful in this regard. Having access to both the application logs and the server logs can be a valuable resource when trying to identify and resolve problems."
"I would also like to see a dashboard with some integrations in order to see the logs and trace performance easier."
"Security integration in Tomcat is complicated. We need to use another tool to solve the security issues."
"Sometimes, the UI part does not run properly, or the server goes down."
