We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server, NGINX Plus, and WebLogic Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The solution offers good security."
"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"This solution has everything."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"This is a robust solution."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
"The program is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"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."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"Its stability could be better."
"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"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 rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"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."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"I think the support could be much better."
"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."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
