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."It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks."
"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."
"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."
"One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The solution works well in load balancing."
"We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well."
"The most valuable feature is the free EE server."
"It's very stable. No problems at all. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The solution has very robust functionality."
"The solution is readily available and open-source."
"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."
"Tomcat is a simple, light environment, whereas the full Red Hat Fuse solution is heavier."
"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 solution is scalable."
"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
"The integration could be improved."
"The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything."
"I can't point to anything missing."
"Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience."
"Tomcat needs to improve its stability."
"Tomcat is used mainly for database connections. As of now, we configure that environment for any database configuration. But if any utility can integrate where we can pass the database connection as a string of details, then it should encrypt them and keep them inside. From that security perspective, Tomcat requires improvement. They should integrate this security feature."
"Technical support is limited."
"I would personally like it if the admin console would show more information specifically about memory being used."
"Performance optimization is an area of concern in Tomcat that should be made better."
"Java functions should be built better into the 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."
"The current procedure appears complex and could benefit from a more straightforward solution."
