Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."

"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"Valuable features include connectors and BAM."
"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process."

"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools."
"One area that could be better is the human task feature. It could be improved to provide more functionality and customization options because it has limited options available."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The web services need to be more robust."
"External portal functionality with suppliers and customers needs improvement."
"We encountered stability issues, especially on external functionality around its RFP capabilities."
"Our customers expect that a page will open within one second, and I doubt this will happen. Also, opening documentation takes time. Fixing this will help the customer and help to meet their expectations."
"Due to our business, some setups were very complex."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
"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."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
