We performed a comparison between JBoss and Oracle WebLogic Server 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 use JBoss mainly for application deployments and application servers."
"JBoss is a scalable tool."
"We can deploy the applications on the JBoss server, so it is easy to manage. It's also easy to add new certificates to the config."
"The solution's support is very good for repairing components."
"The most valuable feature is the UI."
"The product integrates well with Java applications."
"The high availability is great."
"The support is fast and reliable."
"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is secure."
"Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"The product is flexible and allows us to leverage deployments."
"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 possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service."
"The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"Having the support combined with Red Hat support would be an improvement."
"The solution's documentation could be better."
"In general, the support of the ERPC would be really good due to the fact that, so far, I have not seen it."
"Logging-related issues in JBoss require improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration."
"The product could be cheaper."
"The documentation could be better. When we have questions, we need to check multiple websites. There isn't one place listing a set of common problems and how to fix them."
"The tool's documentation could be improved to explain its usage and functionalities clearly. Having accessible documentation would save time for leaders like me when juniors seek information about it. The documentation should be self-explanatory and guide users on how to utilize the tool."
"Licensing fees need improvement."
"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"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 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."
"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 solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"The cost could always be lower."
