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."The product is flexible and allows us to leverage deployments."
"We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well."
"In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"We've got the support we require. If ever there is an issue, can just call on Oracle and they will assist us."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is secure."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"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."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a scalable platform."
"Tomcat's best feature is the open source server. It's a flexible and lightweight solution."
"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."
"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."
"We can use Apache Tomcat for Java server applications."
"Tomcat is a simple, light environment, whereas the full Red Hat Fuse solution is heavier."
"The integration could be improved."
"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."
"The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive."
"The quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems."
"Licensing fees need improvement."
"The pricing is a little bit higher compared to other products."
"The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files."
"Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"Tomcat is not user-friendly. I would also like to be able to have multiple applications run at the same time."
"I would also like to see a dashboard with some integrations in order to see the logs and trace performance easier."
"Vulnerability is one of the areas that can be considered an issue in the solution."
"The setup is complex and could be improved."
"The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss."
"The solution's interface and backup features could be better."
"The disability and memory management is a problem with the solution and has room for improvement."
