We performed a comparison between Microsoft .NET Framework and WebLogic Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's easy to create and integrate things."
"Microsoft .NET Framework’s most valuable features are web application development, RESTful services development, security, performance, and less memory footprint."
"A great solution for creating program solutions in a framework for Microsoft Windows quickly and easily."
"The .NET framework is a mature platform that is very helpful and saves time during the software development process."
"Firstly, I appreciate the decision to use Microsoft .NET Framework. I find it to be an excellent language, with a history rooted in providing an alternative to Java, albeit with initial challenges. It is gaining popularity and may be voted the most desirable programming language. What I particularly like about .NET is its language efficiency. While C# is the primary language, the platform also supports others, catering to those inclined towards functional programming. Although I started with Shell, I'm still grasping the concept of functional programming. Despite initial reservations about object-oriented programming, I acknowledge its advantages. .NET is a safer option, and despite criticisms, it has evolved over the years. One notable aspect is .NET's transition to an open platform in recent years, distancing itself from being exclusive to Microsoft engineers. I appreciate the versatility of .NET, enabling code production for a wide range of platforms, presenting a strong competition to Java. It allows targeting practically any physical platform, showcasing its flexibility. These qualities contribute to my positive view of .NET, totaling thirteen aspects that I find appealing."
"The Windows Communication Foundation is the biggest advantage we get from the .NET Framework."
"Microsoft .NET Framework reduces the cost of entry and enables the development of applications with mature and enterprise features, thereby lowering the entry barriers."
"The addition of generics to handle common functionality across types, and the more recent upgrade of the dataset to the Entity Framework, has cut development time drastically, while increasing quality and confidence between builds."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"The product is reliable."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"This is a robust solution."
"In the realm of Microsoft .NET Framework, particularly in the C# language, there have been significant developments that I find highly commendable. I am genuinely fascinated by the continuous evolution of the language, and staying abreast of the latest features in Azure is both challenging and enjoyable. Working with C# in Azure is particularly fantastic. I appreciate in .NET, as compared to Java, is the enforcement of types, providing a better experience in terms of technicalities. Additionally, the introduction of Roslyn in the past few years has brought about the concept of late .NET, which I find interesting and powerful. This allows for the transformation of symbolic code just before execution, eliminating the runtime decision-making process and enhancing efficiency. However, late .NET does come with a drawback – a delay in the last-minute computation when starting an executable. While some may find this less appealing in terms of instant responsiveness, especially in serverless cloud environments, the efficiency gained from executing strictly binary code is valuable. Despite potential drawbacks like the time required for activation, I view .NET favorably for its technical advancements and efficiency, especially in scenarios such as serverless cloud computing. It's essential to recognize the intricacies of how .NET processes code and the efficiency it brings, which some may overlook."
"Improvements are needed in .NET development, particularly in a backend scenario."
"In my opinion, this solution can be improved by providing out-of-the-box support for different types of libraries."
"Better integration with other tools to make the operation faster would be an improvement."
"Needs stronger security with respect to cloud issues."
"The solution is difficult to learn if someone is learning it for the first time."
"It is of great concern to us that the solution is not very powerful on cross platform, at it impedes the ability to build and scale with it."
"One thing that could be improved is the tooling and IDE for .NET in non-Windows environments like Mac."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
