Both WebLogic and WebSphere are only as good as the people making the general design work and the programmers doing the code and the job needed. WebLogic is a good framework to work on. I've been in computers for over thirty years, so compared to what we were doing back in the day, it has an ease of use that we never dreamed about years ago. 

As far as being able to go from business logical processes, user stories, or requirements, into actual working code that connects the different data streams, databases, and data lakes, it works well. We can connect our data logically into a working application solving problems much more easily.

WebLogic's and WebSphere's functionality depends on what you use them for. If you come out of an Oracle house, you like WebLogic, and you will like Web Sphere if you come out of an IBM house. There are significant differences except for some of the commonalities of code you would be pulling from based on legacy-type things.

Oracle WebLogic Server has improved the organization through better dashboards and data integration.

Thanks to WLST, we were able to standardize the deployment of standard WebLogic components (for example, JMS server, migratable targets, datasources, ...).

So, we can improve the quality of change management and reduce the time and the effort needed. We use also WLST to stop/start WebLogic domains and we apply best practices after domain creation.

It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks.

It's improved our organization in lots of ways. For example, using the WLST scripting allowed us to build a continuous integration environment. We’ve also managed to increase throughput and reliability by replacing an older JMS server with the internal WebLogic JMS engine.

• Work Manager in WebLogic Server helped a lot in making it easy to manage application access and utilisation of JVM resources and also help in prioritising requests.
• WLST makes it easier to automate deployments, application configuration etc.

The web server is just a Java E7 application server. But a special point is the operational functions, especially for the mission controls, and enterprise managers, and some easier management functions.
