Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management.""Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution.""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.""Data integrity.""It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable.""The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time.""The initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory.""Oracle Fusion is stable."

"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers.""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.""It has good integration with security features, including OWASP.""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.""Oracle WebLogic Server is secure.""What I like best about Oracle WebLogic Server is its integration with other software.""The tool's technical support is very good.""Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."

Cons
"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications.""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 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.""I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes.""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 price could always be better.""The documentation might not be good enough for new users.""Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector."

More Oracle Fusion Middleware Cons →

"Licensing fees need improvement.""They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature.""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.""I can't point to anything missing.""The cost could always be lower.""The quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems.""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."
