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.

I think Oracle WebLogic Application Server is quite powerful and quite complete. It covers the most important features of the JEE Application Server as well as useful resources related to Oracle. Something efficient for inheritance. Something effective for modern applications. In short: an impressive application server.

The server is very good for deploying Java-based applications. We also build Oracle Service Bus and Service-Oriented Architecture-based synchronous and asynchronous services on top of the standard Weblogic layer. We use the server to create data sources with connection pools and Java Messaging queues which have very good functionality and great control on retry.

This is very well suited to be used with web-based applications as it provides immense performance and is a centralized load-sharing solution. If you have multiple applications then this is an appropriate server as it can handle them easily and it is completely flexible and secure. For Images, the configuration part could be a bit hard to handle on this server.

For handing large data on a quicker note we recommend using this application solution but if your organization has a smaller dataset and data load is high then you shouldn't go with it. It requires steady data approaches and management. But we have gained benefits from this infrastructure in recent times.

In general, I would recommend this technology to other companies attempting to install a cohesive integrated development environment for your development department. The cross domain management and comprehensive diagnostic tooling capabilities are really nice. The java mission control and java flight recorder does have a memory buffer that is pretty nice and can be persisted for post incident analysis by the development team.

It is extremely well designed and user-friendly in a clustered environment where a load balancer is used to distribute the transactions. It has the ability to communicate well with other systems deployed in different environments. Due to the expense, it is not financially feasible to use for small scale applications where the transaction load is minimal. In such cases, a simple web server or an open-source application server like Glassfish would be more appropriate.

Any enterprise when they are not sure about which application server to use when reliability is the most important criteria, then WebLogic is great. When ease of development, constant change and deployment is an important concern then WebLogic is not the best fit.

The best thing of using WebLogic Application server is it's easiness and user friendly interface which is very easy for expert to amateur programmers, administrators and non technical users. The WebLogic application server container comes with most of the ready to use plugins and pre populated options which makes it easier for user to select the correct option. It also provides features like doing a live connection test, JMS test etc.

Weblogic will become your choice if you desire complex, important, high available business applications which is tightly coupled with some resources (database, JMS, for example). If you are looking for a light container (especially when you don't need EJB), and also if you have financial constraint, you should choose another open-source product like JBOSS or Tomcat (embedded in Spring Boot also), Jetty (for responsive service).

Oracle WebLogic Application is great for applications that use J2EE frameworks, and it provides exceptional reliability. Because it is one of the most-used servers and one of the oldest as well, the documentation and forum discussions are abundantly available. However, it is less appropriate for cloud-native integrations, since it itself is not cloud-native.

If you need a managed clustered, fail safe solution for a large scale enterprise project and you are not worrying about your budget then use WebLogic. If you need rapid deployments, rapid development, microservice or you don't have a budget then use something else like Payara. It is all about money and target development/deployment time.

It is well suited for development and deployment and monitoring of complex applications. I have used it in the past for WebLogic integration application deployments and today deploy and run SOA Suites composites from there. It is easy to create and configure resources like JMS resources and data sources and others. It provides a set of logs (server logs, diagnostics logs, admin logs ...) and is very useful for troubleshooting.

I don't have a big downside at this moment. It does its job well.

WebLogic has worked well for us as a middleware platform for the Ellucian Banner suite of systems.

WebLogic may not be a platform of choice for developers that don't have an in-staff WebLogic administrators. It requires a dedicated admin staff and carries a substantial licensing cost. For small development shops the Tomcat product would be better.

It is well suited for our production environment where we have to manage 100+ servers. With Oracle WebLogic Suite, we can create clusters, have deployment plans created, and use the same ones for deployment at our convenience.

In big monolithic J2EE application, WebLogic is a j2ee container. So for robust enterprise solutions that use the EE standards, Weblogic is well suited. It integrates well with other Oracle products such as Java and
Oracle databases. Since WebLogic has been around for a very long time, there is ample documentation on best practices to use the product, thereby adoption is fairly easy.

With its use of Coherence as a distributed memory cache, you can easily write clustered applications in the same manner as if it were a single-node system. Enhanced versions of the product are available to support additional networking protocols beyond simple HTTP.

It's well suited for Oracle Fusion technologies. Managing applications using Oracle WebLogic Server is pretty easy. However it can still do better in managing the system performance. Oracle can improve the WebLogic Application Server by adding altering functionality in the application and also it can improve the user interface so that any administrator can quickly do the analysis and solve issues.

Oracle WebLogic is one of the most sophisticated application servers and is part of the middleware product family from Oracle. It's well suited for medium to high volume transaction applications and can be used on multiple OS platforms.
It is quite expensive though and if you are looking for a cheaper alternative, then consider checking Red Hat JBoss EAP.

WebLogic - Yay or Nay?

Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review

Oracle WebLogic server is well suited if you want a powerful and scalable application server to deploy a complete J2EE stack app. Due to the heavier nature of the application server, it is more suited for larger applications with heavy usage. If you want to deploy a small app with minimal access from users, a more light-weight application server like Tomcat may be more suitable.
