Likelihood to Recommend Magic Software Enterprises
In our experience, the product performs really well when interfacing systems with ERP's through SQL server database tables, but we've even made some interfaces with the web service functionality included with the magic xpi integration platform. Also, we've made some SAP Business One - SAP Business One interfaces, for copying information from one company to another and even between two different ERP systems.

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.

The UI is really simple to use, you have source/destination mapping for the items. The scheduler gives you a lot of options when executing the models. The error handling is usually pretty good and the errors can be corrected fast. Read full review 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 Read full review Cons Magic Software Enterprises
Although the scenarios may be online, the main service usually freezes and the processes can't transact any data. With a single restart of the service, the processes will be functioning again. The support for more applications would be nice, even though there is a nice number of them. Most of the main applications in the market are supported. The licensing for the software may be a little confusing; you can't buy individual licenses as they come in packages of four. Read full review The Admin UI should be further simplified, the UI design was not too user-friendly— too many options and clicks required, difficult for the new beginners to figure out what they are looking for. The admin server becomes the single failure point, although Oracle suggested some workarounds by setting VIP and VHost, it was not quite easy and straight forward. Domain replication is hard, requiring a lot of knowledge and scripts efforts. Admin will hang if the node manager communication encounters some issues for one or some nodes in the domain/cluster. Not able to kill/terminate the stuck thread, the only way is to restart the managed server (JVM) License cost is too high, for small businesses. Read full review Usability Magic Software Enterprises
I would have given it a 10 but sometimes the hogging threads become a issue and needs server bounce. Except that, we are very pleased with the product.

Oracle WebLogic Application Server is great at security, performance and features.
Read full review Support Rating Magic Software Enterprises
The Oracle support is not great sometimes. They take a long time and need a lot of data over and over to resolve issues.

Honestly, we have only used and evaluated magic xpi/xpa platforms because of the recommendation of our SAP Business One main supplier, who has previously used the platform for their developments. So far, we have no regrets with the acquisition of the platform and we are very happy with its performance.
Read full review 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.

The implementation time for this kind of projects has been greatly reduced. Certifying an In-House resource in the Magix xpi and xpa platforms is probably the best option, considering all of the projects that can be developed in the future without the need of an external consultant. The processes that have been automatized with the Magic xpi platform helped reduce human error and the time those processes took to finish. Read full review 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.
