We performed a comparison between JBoss 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."The solution's support is very good for repairing components."
"JBoss has made it very easy to implement web applications."
"The solution has flexibility and stability."
"The support is fast and reliable."
"The product integrates well with Java applications."
"The tool's most beneficial feature is its scalability. People with limited technical knowledge can quickly grasp its functions with a brief introduction. The tool's ease of use makes it a plug-and-play solution, reducing the effort required to train users on its usage."
"The most valuable feature is the UI."
"It is a Java-based product, so it is pretty straightforward. It is pretty easy from a developer's perspective. It is also pretty reliable and scalable."
"In WebLogic, the most useful feature is the UI administration console from where we can configure everything, such as security access, and we can start and stop it graphically. That's the best feature of WebLogic Server."
"The tool's technical support is very good."
"Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient."
"I recommend the product because the installation is easy, it provides a secure environment, and it's easy to manage. The solution provides easy monitoring. Accessing all the logs is easy, and deploying application versions is smooth."
"It's a scalable product."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is secure."
"The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"The solution's documentation could be better."
"There is not much ability inside of the solution. The world is going beyond different micro and data-type things like Microsoft Office, so we are not seeing much ability within the solution."
"JBoss is not as reliable and stable as WebLogic."
"It can have automation features. Everybody is focused right now on automation. In terms of saving cost, automation is always the first thing that comes to light."
"Having the support combined with Red Hat support would be an improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration."
"In general, the support of the ERPC would be really good due to the fact that, so far, I have not seen it."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"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."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"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 integration could be improved."
"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."
