Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review SAP NetWeaver is well suited for contract file storage and management. SAP NetWeaver is less appropriate for entering in time and attendance.
Read full review Pros 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 Control of inventory Organization of my clients Complete reports Autorization by level Read full review Cons 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.

Sometimes Zombie process still exists after clean shutdown that time we need to manually kill those processes otherwise it might not start properly. Here SAP can improve.

Read full review Performance Oracle WebLogic Application Server is great at security, performance and features.
Read full review Support Rating The Oracle support is not great sometimes. They take a long time and need a lot of data over and over to resolve issues.
Read full review I did not give SAP NetWeaver a 10, only because getting access to it initially can be tricky and sometimes it's very slow to load up.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.

It provides both ABAP & Java features, meaning it can host Portal applications and be also used for having online transactions. The application codes are easily modifiable & can be made to fit user needs. This application is suited for all type of business demands
Read full review Return on Investment 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.

Read full review Great ROI. We need to invest in new developments, making it more functional for our business. We have requests that couldn't be duplicated. Maybe we need to pay to fix that. We have a lot of transactions and don't have anyone that can guide us to the ones that we need to improve our business. Read full review ScreenShots
