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 has flexibility and stability."
"We use JBoss mainly for application deployments and application servers."
"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."
"There's good documentation and a pretty good community surrounding the product."
"The stability is great."
"The support is fast and reliable."
"We can deploy the applications on the JBoss server, so it is easy to manage. It's also easy to add new certificates to the config."
"The most valuable feature is the UI."
"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."
"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."
"It's a scalable product."
"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's a very stable solution."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"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."
"The documentation could be better. When we have questions, we need to check multiple websites. There isn't one place listing a set of common problems and how to fix them."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product could be made cheaper."
"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."
"Sometimes the console has a glitch."
"The solution's documentation could be better."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"JBoss is not as reliable and stable as WebLogic."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
"The integration could be improved."
"Licensing fees need improvement."
"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."
"The ticket-raising process is very time-consuming"
"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."
"Configuration can be a significant challenge, demanding a deep understanding and expertise."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
