Interstage vs. Oracle WebLogic Server

At the suggestion of the contractor (retailer), who has always entrusted us with the Internet environment, we set up this tower server. The CAL upgrade cost associated with upgrading the file server can be greatly reduced because the StrageServer operating system was given as a line. The operability of remote maintenance was also greatly improved by employing the associated management software (iRMC).

If you need to have complex options in place you can count on Weblogic to be a robust Applicational Server you can rely on. But you would need to keep an eye on maintaining the framework updated quite frequently to avoid security breaches and subsequent severe situations. If you don't have other infrastructure for test purposes, I wouldn't advise you on having devs and QA installing this heavy application in their local machines, there are other lightweight solutions that would be a better fit for that.

• It has a good user support team
• The support system that more than makes up for it is the determining factor for the choice.
• When a RAID disk or power supply failed, the maintenance service alerted me with a monitoring alarm and replaced it quickly before service was interrupted.

• The brand relation between Java and WebLogic Application Server usually provides a quicker access to programming features and their availability for the applications deployed.
• The access to centralized configuration both from console and command line WLST eases the implementation of changes major or not in an organized and expedite way.
• The maturity of the product is also visible in the available tools provided by the product itself, for both monitoring of resources and alerting for availability and thresholds

• It has no effect on the run rate because it does everything correctly from detection to replacement before stopping
• I think a more reliable unit can be used as a server computer.
• It is more expensive than a model of equal characteristics from a foreign manufacturer.

Incentivized

• Debugging issues has been difficult sometimes, the documentation is too dense and finding the the root cause for an specific issue takes time.
• The Oracle WebLogic Server console UI feels old and gives a sense of lack of innovation even though it provides so much functionality.
• I'm not sure if Oracle WebLogic Server supports more modern frameworks, but it feels more like a Java EE specific, maybe there's an opportunity there to appeal to newer application platforms

Oracle WebLogic Server has so many features that sometimes it's hard to find the right place to setup things, I think the dated user interface does not help with that either. This has a direct impact when deciding to use it as your application server, you'd need to have the right people and invest the time needed to master it. If you're application justifies it then it will definitely be a great choice in the long run.

Oracle WebLogic Application Server is great at security, performance and features.

The Oracle support is not great sometimes. They take a long time and need a lot of data over and over to resolve issues.

I believe the Oracle WebLogic Suite is probably a better all encompassing suite of development tools for the IT department. [It] is probably a bit more expensive than other competitors like Apache Tomcat or NGINX, but is worth the investment if you consider the savings from time to get code into production.

• With respect to the backup system, I believe that relocation after the replacement was facilitated.
• The best solution to the problem was that thanks to Fujitsu Interstage I created a separate cloud to store the data for each individual PC.
• Being able to continue the tasks, without the interruption of service due to a hardware failure that was fixed very efficiently, demonstrates the quality of this company's operations.

Incentivized

• WebLogic Application Server definitely had a positive ROI since all the applications are deployed on a single platform and making maintenance extremely cost effective.
• Since all major cloud vendors support and maintain WebLogic, it gives us an opportunity to explore possibilities to move the organizational infrastructure on to the cloud without too much effort.
