(1-15 of 15)The best service from oracle weblogic
- I love that the weblogic dashboard allows you to manage applications and see the status of each application.
- Oracle WebLogic Application Server simplifies usage periods in the development and production of business applications.
- Oracle WebLogic Server allows me to define various aspects of data source entry, including creating a specific multiple connection to facilitate data entry.
- Performance and administration are highlighted in weblogic.
- Sometimes it takes forever to start a server.
- I think the price could be more attractive. I think this product is a little more expensive.
robust server with great feature set
- Data sources.
- JMS queues.
- N/A
High Performance Server

Perfect Application Server
- Built-in diagnostic modules that can be easily activated for a server instance.
- Ease of creating and maintaining multiple domains for different applications.
- Ability to create virtual hosts and targets to which WebLogic Server instances or clusters respond.
- Powerful clustering framework to balance the load on the server instances.
- The domain template exporter needs to be more flexible and able to be imported by a new server installation. It's a tedious task to recreate all the resources when the server is upgraded.
- The administration console can be better designed to be more user-friendly.
WebLogic is still a good J2EE full stack container solution
- Easy to use and configure
- High availability, very reliable and stable (can configure self-healing strategy)
- Very well integrated with the other Oracle product family
- Deployment in the cluster is quite handy
- 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.
WebLogic Server: Very Good Application Server
- I think it is a great application server for developing and deploying applications across cloud environments and on-premise
- Hgh performance, scalability and reliability
- Simplify operations and reduce management costs
- I would like to see only one console if possible instead of having to navigate through the enterprise manager, console and service bus console.
- The consoles are sometimes slow and not easy to use.
- I would like to see thread management through the consoles and be able to deal with a stuck thread without a server restart.
I don't have a big downside at this moment. It does its job well.
My Weblogic Review
- We are able to manage the application and deployments well using WebLogic Server in OBIEE.
- We can monitor the application health using WebLogic Server.
- It makes the job easy for our Administrators.
- User interface can be better - when we go to the application, we have to do a lot of clicking to see all of the things. It would be better of all the data was visible from one window.
- Performance can be better.
- It should be able to send alerts in case of server health issues.
WebLogic - Yay or Nay?
- Stable and powerful
- GUI is powerful and easy to use
- Easy to use, simple to deploy an application
- Cost might be issue
- Not as lightweight as some other competitors
My reasons for using Oracle WebLogic Server.
- The main power comes to be the scalability of the applications implemented in Oracle WebLogic Server.
- Oracle WebLogic Server allows me to define different points of access to data sources, including the creation of a multiple connection focused on facilitating access to data.
- Integration of very simple applications. Your use of WSLT is fantastic.
- Oracle WebLogic Server is based on a previous user interface. Therefore, it does not include the latest representation updates. Therefore, its domain at the graphic level is much lower compared to other servers.
For the real world solutions
- 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
- Oracle could provide WLST with a graphics tool, to ease the scripting especially providing inbuilt list/details of accessible methods/objects
- A visible memory footprint often causes an overhead in the jvm runtime. Maybe too many product artifacts being loaded on boot?
- The console seems to still be in progress; some of the tables even in version 12c aren't customizable and displaying of long lists is often broken when you cant filter.
An application where the number of required resources configured is very small and almost non-changeable, and no scalability is required, some other options exist in the market with less cost.
The most stable AS in the world
- The web interface allows to easily control the JEE features given to an application
- This is the world number one commercial application server in the world that nearly all experienced JEE developers know
- This is the best JEE implementation
- It is heavy compared to JBOSS app server (but it covers the complete JEE stack)
- The weblogic console is sometimes slow and not easy to use (not always user friendly)
- It is expensive
Why the heck I use Weblogic Server!!
- WebLogic Server can be best utilized for mid-large sized applications - applications with medium to large volumes of customers.
- Use of work managers - to create specific work management logic for different applications.
- Ability to use single data source vs. multi data source gives us failover possibility.
- Thread management can improve... If we can review the thread performance more clearly on the WebLogic admin console, that would be helpful.
- Store and Forward functionality in JMS - for managing messages SAF (Store and Forward) mechanism isn't working as efficiently as it could. Improvement would help.
- Ability to control node manager from the WebLogic admin console would be helpful.
Behind the curtain: Oracle WebLogic in the mortgage world.
- First and foremost it is (as far as these things go) relatively simple to install. The whole process, for at least a small server set up can take an hour or two manually, or as with our company, about half an hour when run through bladelogic scripts. This is key for being able to stage up new instances on demand.
- Flexibility. You can configure and develop just about any kind of Java web app to be hosted on Oracle Weblogic. That adaptability is important in the industry these days.
- Support. Oracle has an amazing back end support group for any issues you encounter with their products. I make this comment about any Oracle Product I review - their support and ticketing team is fantastic (at least, that has been my consistent experience). Having that to fall back on is a must.
- Error messages. This is perhaps the biggest area that needs improvement. They can be cryptic as all get out sometimes. Then again, that can be a fault for the whole system.
- Backend configuration - sometimes you just don't know where things lay on the backend: where data-stores are located, what directory is this really pulling a deployed file from. There are reasons that Oracle provides (for a fee) training and certification classes.
- B2B Gateways - Support for JAVA XML applications that allow applications to process (without failure) many millions of daily B2B conversations / updates.
- Security - Support for all the latest encryption protocols and RFCs . Handles certificate management / chaining with easy and provides confidence data is sent to / from the server is a trusted and secure.
- Scalable - Can support a few to a huge number of users both as a single node or load balanced in a cluster.
- Applications - Comprehensive support for JAVA applications and publishing of applications using a simple web interface to deploy and manage applications.
- JDBC Connectivity - Very configurable and robust software allowing web applications to talk to JDBC data sources.
- Fingerprint - Can occupy a significantly larger portion of server resources. But there again it does provide a a substantial amount of features / functionality.
- Support - As with most commercial applications bear in mind support (specifically end of life) of the application in 5 - 10 yrs . Oracle will support this but may not have the detailed expertise as their support staff move on. Seems a long while away but this will be mostly used in large IT operations / businesses where applications can sit around for many years before been replaced. Be prepared to regularly upgrade to a newer release.
- Steep Learning Curve - To get the most out of this software there is a significant amount of learning to do. Be prepared to spend of training courses for support staff. LIkewise may take a few months to tune the application to your environment.
Likewise you wouldn't want to run Oracle WebLogic Application Server for a small number of static HTML sites. Essentially not suited to small environments with a trickle of hits per hour.
