Pros
"The products offers EE support."

"It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks.""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.""One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance.""It's a very stable solution.""Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand.""Oracle WebLogic Server is secure.""The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory.""It's a scalable product."

Cons
"I would like to see integration with MQ systems."

More Oracle GlassFish Cons →

"The pricing is a little bit higher compared to other products.""Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic.""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.""Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything.""The cost could always be lower.""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.""Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience.""The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
