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."It has good integration with security features, including OWASP."
"One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"The solution works well in load balancing."
"We've got the support we require. If ever there is an issue, can just call on Oracle and they will assist us."
"It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks."
"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."
"It is a scalable platform."
"It is a robust solution."
"The product is easy to use."
"Our company doesn't face any stability issues while using Tomcat."
"We can use Apache Tomcat for Java server applications."
"One of the most valuable features of Tomcat is its compatibility with the Apache web server and its ease of configuration. It is simple to set up and maintain and allows for easy management of database connections, transactions, and isolation. Overall, Tomcat is a user-friendly application server that makes it easy to manage various aspects of database interactions."
"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, where one is high price and ten is low price. The pricing is pretty low."
"The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"The pricing is a little bit higher compared to other products."
"Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience."
"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature."
"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."
"The ticket-raising process is very time-consuming"
"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."
"It will be useful if a direct report concerning a particular server configuration or application usage is readily available in the dashboard."
"The solution cannot host .NET applications."
"If it could support the driver's VIN, they can run natively without the GBM. Now, we can run what we call the native cloud application that doesn't require GBM. If Tomcat can support that, it's going to improve performance and backup."
"Security integration in Tomcat is complicated. We need to use another tool to solve the security issues."
"The stability must be improved."
"Technical support is limited."
"Tomcat needs to improve its user interface."
"The setup is complex and could be improved."
