Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."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 program is scalable."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"This is a robust solution."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"The product's deployment phase was very easy."
"The most valuable feature is AppFabric's hosting solution, which is what we need for running workflows."
"It is very usable and easy to understand. Antivirus and VPN are the main features being used now. It allows my clients to access the network from home, which was very crucial because of the pandemic."
"The support is not good."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."
"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 restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"Microsoft will stop supporting the product next year, and we can't run unsupported programs in our systems."
"The product is unable to connect with different cloud services."
"Its price and licensing policy can be improved. It could be a little cheaper. Licensing is sometimes confusing. There are so many different options. It is difficult to find out what to buy or what to choose for my necessity."
