Oracle WebLogic Server Reviews

We are using it for our core banking application server.

It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers.

Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic.

I have been using this solution for 10 to 15 years.

It is very stable.

It is very scalable. We have approximately 4,000 users.

Their technical support is good. There are no issues.

It is straightforward and easy. It takes a day to deploy it.

It is expensive.

I would recommend this solution if you can afford it. Its biggest disadvantage is pricing.

I would rate Oracle WebLogic Server a nine out of ten.

Technologically, the product offers excellent performance and high reliability. Because it is an application platform on which applications and products are deployed, these are probably among the most important features. For administration purposes, it also offers a robust and easy-to-understand interface. Performance monitoring tools are also comprehensive.

I have used it for four years.

It is a complex product with many "moving parts". Installation, upgrade and patching are probably the most challenging administration tasks. Individual components may need to be upgraded to support the deployed applications, and yet these components and their patch level have to be compatible with each other. One should not underestimate the human administration requirements for the product, although these are not that far out of line when compared with similar products. This can be somewhat complex technology.

Oracle Technical Support tends to be excellent in general, and that extends to this product as well.

Initial setup is straightforward, but as noted, ongoing maintenance requires a significant investment in time, effort and technical administration expertise.

As an IT consulting firm, we handled implementation in-house. A full range of in-depth skills are needed, especially in troubleshooting issues and for ongoing maintenance. One needs not only senior-level WebLogic Server experience, but also experience in the related technologies such as Java, virtual machines, Linux OS, among others.

Once again, the model for Oracle technology in general, applies to this product. For the most part, Oracle is a technology leader in the functionality of the products it delivers, such as this application server, the database server, BI and analytics and others. But they are also among the more expensive for initial licensing and for ongoing product support. The products likewise require a high level of expertise. It is clearly a high-end, enterprise-scale solution, and pricing reflects this. At the same time, absolute costs and ROI based upon successful deployment and use of technology are not exactly the same.

Administrative console, Work Manager, WebLogic Config Wizard, Node Manager, WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).

• Work Manager in WebLogic Server helped a lot in making it easy to manage application access and utilisation of JVM resources and also help in prioritising requests.
• WLST makes it easier to automate deployments, application configuration etc.

Stability was an issue in earlier versions, it was sometimes difficult to bring up the server whenever it goes down, which seldom happens. But there was great improvement as new versions were released.

WebLogic setup and deployment is very user friendly and easy to implement.

I have always worked with Oracle partners and we usually implement for clients. Implementation is relatively easy.

WebLogic initial cost (acquisition and implementation) is relatively expensive, but I believe it's worth its price and the long-term benefits are enormous.

I have used other products but I always find WebLogic Server superior to the others especially because of the management tools that are bundled with it.

I'll advise potential customers to go for this product, especially large enterprises.

We use WebLogic for app development. I think about 20 to 25 people at my company use this solution.

WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development.

I work in IT, so I'm not directly involved in programming or development. I'm not sure how to improve the tools.

I've been using WebLogic for the last two years.

The latest version is pretty reliable.

Our business is not that big, but WebLogic has worked for what we have right now, and it will meet our immediate future requirements.

Our company moved to Oracle some time ago for the Database. I believe we switched because of reliability and performance.

The Initial setup was straightforward, but there are some specific tools we use, and that took some time.

We used a consultant.

We have a yearly subscription, but I don't know how much it costs. 

We use Oracle WebLogic Server on our e-commerce webpage to manage and monitor it.

I mostly like the stability. It's a very stable solution.

It is also scalable and has a user-friendly UI.

The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others.

It could be more user friendly and easier to manage.

Also, starting off the applications in Oracle WebLogic Server takes a long time.

I have one and a half years of experience with this solution.

It is a very stable solution.

It's easier to scale up or scale down. The UI is user friendly.

My advice is that you should test the performance after the installation. You may struggle while starting the application. 

You can analyze deeply how to manage Oracle WebLogic Server and how to set up the configurations. It's a little complex.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at six.

We use it for the deployment of the enterprise's internal applications. 

It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks.

The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service.

The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files.

Oracle WebLogic Server is used for developing, and running applications.

The integration could be improved. We need technology to be able to integrate.

I'd like to see it more cloud, defined, and easier to maintain in the next release.

I have been working with Oracle WebLogic Server for the last four years.

We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well.

From an ability perspective, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

WebLogic Server gives us two main features that we use the most and which are the most valuable to us:

• Administration console - Compared to open source application servers, the WLS administration console is quite complete in terms of features. It would be easier for developers and sysadmins to manage, monitor and config the app server from an administration console.
• Clustering - The clustering capability is also pretty robust.

I'd like to have a lighter version for micro-service architecture. In my experience, it can sometimes take 15-30 minutes just to start the server if we deploy a lot of applications. I think this may be in the latest version, although I'm not sure.

I've been using it for three to four years.

We had no issues with the deployment.

We've had no issues with the stability.

There have been no issues scaling it for our needs.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward, but my advice would be to read the documentation first. Their documentation is very comprehensive and contain basic tips for installation and tuning the products.

I implemented as part of a vendor team. I have seen and heard of implementations where the basic configuration and features are not configured, which can actually enhance the reliability and performance of the app server.
