We performed a comparison between Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle WebLogic Server 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.
"Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."
"The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time."
"Data integrity."
"The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework."
"Oracle Fusion is stable."
"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."
"What I find most valuable in Oracle WebLogic Server is its flexibility in administering and managing applications, along with the built-in dashboards that offer high visibility into vulnerabilities."
"It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks."
"It's a scalable product."
"The solution works well in load balancing."
"We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"It has good integration with security features, including OWASP."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes."
"The product should improve BPEL features."
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."
"The documentation might not be good enough for new users."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications."
"Its price can be improved. We are currently looking for more cost-efficiency. It should also have a little bit more flexibility for customizations. The customizations should be quicker."
"The main improvement must be made on the user interface. You need to use another Oracle cross in this product. It must be improved and some features of the connectors must be changed."
"One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"Oracle's support team fails to understand the real problem of the customer, which is why they take time to resolve issues."
"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."
"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."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
"The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive."
"The pricing is a little bit higher compared to other products."
