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."We've got the support we require. If ever there is an issue, can just call on Oracle and they will assist us."
"The product is flexible and allows us to leverage deployments."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
"The tool's technical support is very good."
"One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance."
"It's a very stable solution."
"We chose to use Tomcat because it's perfect compared to other containers that we have tested."
"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, where one is high price and ten is low price. The pricing is pretty low."
"Tomcat has connectors like REST requests to connect the front end. Also, some parts of the inter-system communication go through REST. External connections with third parties occasionally involve both REST and SOAP protocols. Tomcat is versatile in accommodating these various communication methods."
"The most valuable feature is how simple it is to deploy the solution."
"We can use Apache Tomcat for Java server applications."
"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 most valuable feature of Tomcat is its ability to export libraries into different instances so that I can use it not only in one application but in multiple applications."
"The product is easy to use."
"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 logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files."
"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
"In terms of what could be improved, maybe something related to the processes automation or starting and stopping the processes, because often WebLogic comes with something called Node Manager. Node Manager needs to be configured and administrated manually."
"The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"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."
"If it could support the driver's VIN, they can run natively without the GBM. Now, we can run what we call the native cloud application that doesn't require GBM. If Tomcat can support that, it's going to improve performance and backup."
"It would be great if they offered more integration of monitoring tools."
"The stability must be improved."
"Tomcat could be a little bit more innovative. Tomcat could come up with a framework that's more lightweight and purely targeted at Java applications."
"If Apache can come up with a better solution to provide better security, that would be ideal."
"Tomcat needs to improve its user interface."
"Security integration in Tomcat is complicated. We need to use another tool to solve the security issues."
"The high availability is not as robust as the competition is such as WebLogic and Jboss."
