  • Manual deploys works smoothly and quickly
  • Connection pools configuration it's simple do grasp and has lots of aditional options you can enable
  • Server management is also easy and quick to do
  • Access to logs is quite difficult to grasp, no direct Web access tool to see those
  • Difficult to install some security patches and even more difficult to figure out what's the problem and the proper solution (support articles are super restricted)
  • Server deals poorly with deadlock situations, no proper warnings are shown on the admin management application

  • 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.

  • Integrated Application console for deployment and other settings
  • This requires expensive servers
  • Training and understanding this is bit hard
  • Image configuration is very length

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Messaging
  • Clustering Management
  • Run-time performance
  • Deployment is usually a problem. After multiple deployments the server usually needs a restart.
  • Logging is poor when it comes to native issues.
  • Its console needs improvement. There are several times when it says "done, no restart needed" but it does need a restart.

  • The servers can be managed with ease. If you know where to find what you need, it is simple to be used.
  • At first, the UI is too complex. The vast functionality plays on the contrary to transparency.

  • 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.

WebLogic is rock solid

Score 8 out of 10

  • WebLogic on Linux is rock solid. I believe, its main advantage is that it practically does not go down.
  • WebLogic has a good admin console and integrates well with Oracle OEM making it easier to manage and administer compared to competition.
  • WebLogic is very configurable and flexible in terms cluster or standalone architecture.
  • WebLogic cloning is cumbersome. No easy way of creating a new WebLogic server environment as a clone of the existing one, preserving the managed servers and deployed apps.
  • Applying PSU often required to remove an existing one-off patch.

  • Starting and stopping the application is easy using the WebLogic console.
  • Database configurations can be done easily.
  • Easy to add any new configuration param or jar.
  • WAR file deployment sometimes tricky.
  • Thread dump to read.
  • Database's live connection usage.

  • It is a true and tested EE server
  • It is easy to deploy and manage
  • It is very stable and resilient
  • Needs to be brought to the new era of Cloud Native, but Oracle is working thru that.
  • It is costly, though for my company that is not an issue due to our partnership with Oracle
  • Current versions don't support the latest Java. Rather they are not certified with java 11 though java is also an Oracle product!!

  • Support for WebRTC.
  • Support for SIP.
  • Distributed memory cache for large-scale, clustered applications.
  • More frequent releases to match the latest versions of Java - it's about three years out of date. You'd like to use the latest language features but you don't know if it's going to work or not! It's on Java 8, and Java is on version 12.

  • 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.

  • Ease of use for new versions.
  • Not huge changes per version.
  • Easily navigate able GUI.
  • Kept mostly the same since purchased from BEA years ago.
  • Changes with each tiny version not detailed.
  • Soo many PSU’s and security vulnerability.
  • BSU difficult to use and patching details not always accurate with BSU and OPatch.

  • WebLogic Application Server administration is easy to learn. The Web console is a very sophisticated interface and you will find yourself using web console much more than using the command line.
  • Application deployment is easy and can be done entirely from the web console.
  • It has great features for performance monitoring and configurations. You can do a lot of custom settings to suit your business needs.
  • It includes creation of security realms which you can use to manage access levels for different users within the organization.
  • It's cumbersome to diagnose problems with the node server and weblogic machine. We often find ourselves bouncing the weblogic server in events we see issues with node server connectivity with the machine.
  • It is resource intensive application and performs slow when you have RAM/CPU crunches.
