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."Oracle WebLogic Server is secure."
"The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service."
"Helps in efficient load distribution"
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."
"The tool's technical support is very good."
"We've got the support we require. If ever there is an issue, can just call on Oracle and they will assist us."
"Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient."
"Tomcat is easy to handle, its installation process does not take much time, and its server speed is also very good compared to other servers."
"It's very stable. No problems at all. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"Tomcat's ease of use has positively impacted project timelines. Tomcat already has high availability – it doesn't go down so often and doesn't require a lot of maintenance. As long as your application works, you can depend on Tomcat."
"We can use Apache Tomcat for Java server applications."
"Our company doesn't face any stability issues while using Tomcat."
"I like the solution’s ease of use."
"The ease of use of Tomcat is its most valuable feature. Once we grade particular software, we simply download it and we keep an eye on if Tomcat is working."
"The solution integrates smoothly with the development environment. The integration process is straightforward. You only need to configure the project in your IDE. With intelligent features, the integration becomes even easier. Once integrated, deployment into our application is straightforward. Previously, we sometimes relied on manual deployment processes or used a separate application manager. However, with this solution, deployment is simplified."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
"The error handling area in Oracle WebLogic Server is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The ticket-raising process is very time-consuming"
"The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive."
"The cost could always be lower."
"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything."
"I've had issues with some of the tracking features tracking and have had to go back to several generations of code to fix problems where things were touched."
"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."
"Technical support is limited."
"The current procedure appears complex and could benefit from a more straightforward solution."
"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."
"Sometimes we face issues with the private and public networks and ensuring that once Tomcat is installed, that it is secure."
"Tomcat is a polished product that has been around for a long time. It should be simple and high-performing, with the ability to grow and maintain stability. The fewer features it has, the more stable it will be."
"The setup is complex and could be improved."
"The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement."
