"Helps in efficient load distribution""One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance.""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.""We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well.""Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand.""It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks.""In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."

Cons
"The documentation might not be good enough for new users.""The product should improve BPEL features.""Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications.""One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms.""All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement.""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.""Technical support should resolve issues more quickly.""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 →

"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything.""There's a bug related to the managed services.""Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic.""The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved.""Oracle's support team fails to understand the real problem of the customer, which is why they take time to resolve issues.""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.""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."
