We performed a comparison between Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle WebLogic Server, and Tomcat based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Apache, Red Hat and others in Application Server."It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable."
"Oracle Service Bus is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."
"The initial setup is easy. There are many self-tutorial videos are on the Internet, and then the Oracle documents are self-explanatory."
"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."
"The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework."
"Data integrity."
"Oracle Fusion is stable."
"Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient."
"What I find most valuable in Oracle WebLogic Server is its flexibility in administering and managing applications, along with the built-in dashboards that offer high visibility into vulnerabilities."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well."
"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 scalable product."
"What I like best about Oracle WebLogic Server is its integration with other software."
"In WebLogic, the most useful feature is the UI administration console from where we can configure everything, such as security access, and we can start and stop it graphically. That's the best feature of WebLogic Server."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the general web server features."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ability to host applications."
"The solution is readily available and open-source."
"One of the most valuable features of Tomcat is its compatibility with the Apache web server and its ease of configuration. It is simple to set up and maintain and allows for easy management of database connections, transactions, and isolation. Overall, Tomcat is a user-friendly application server that makes it easy to manage various aspects of database interactions."
"The ease of use of Tomcat is its most valuable feature. Once we grade particular software, we simply download it and we keep an eye on if Tomcat is working."
"Tomcat is a simple, light environment, whereas the full Red Hat Fuse solution is heavier."
"The product is easy to use."
"All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."
"Its price can be improved. We are currently looking for more cost-efficiency. It should also have a little bit more flexibility for customizations. The customizations should be quicker."
"The product should improve BPEL features."
"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."
"The documentation might not be good enough for new users."
"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."
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."
"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."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"Licensing fees need improvement."
"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything."
"The integration could be improved."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
"There are always ways to improve. But it's getting better every time, with every new release, and every new patch, it's getting better."
"The pricing is a little bit higher compared to other products."
"Its pricing should be better. We are analyzing other options, such as JBoss, because of the cost of WebLogic."
"I would personally like it if the admin console would show more information specifically about memory being used."
"The current procedure appears complex and could benefit from a more straightforward solution."
"Tomcat is a polished product that has been around for a long time. It should be simple and high-performing, with the ability to grow and maintain stability. The fewer features it has, the more stable it will be."
"It would be great if they offered more integration of monitoring tools."
"One way to improve the solution is by making the logging capabilities of Tomcat better by providing a logger within the server itself and making it easy to access and view the server logs. This can be especially useful when debugging issues with applications deployed on the Tomcat server. By having the ability to view both the application logs and the server logs, you can more easily identify the source of any issues and troubleshoot them more efficiently. Providing a connector or other similar feature that allows you to access the server logs from within your application can also be helpful in this regard. Having access to both the application logs and the server logs can be a valuable resource when trying to identify and resolve problems."
"Sometimes we face issues with the private and public networks and ensuring that once Tomcat is installed, that it is secure."
"If Apache can come up with a better solution to provide better security, that would be ideal."
"Performance optimization is an area of concern in Tomcat that should be made better."
