Overall Satisfaction with Oracle WebLogic Application Server

Being a part of the release engineering team, we use Oracle Weblogic Application server to manage and maintain critical aspects of domains, servers, clusters, deployments, security realms, and services of a particular environment. It is used across the entire organization to support applications that run on our environments.

Pros

  • It is the best application server to host an application across an enterprise. Not only to do you get a summary of your complete environment which includes the servers, cluster etc., you can dig deeper and even find details about individual threads.
  • Extremely easy deployment that can be done through few clicks. You can view the state, health and type of your deployment making it easier to debug when something goes down.
  • Enriched feature of Security Realms makes it easy to add new users to an environment, tie them to a group, and look into credential mappings.

Cons

  • There needs to be a graphical tool to develop certain scripts used for maintenance of the environment. It may get tedious to debug the scripts provided by Oracle.
  • UI can become even more intuitive & easy on the eyes.
  • We are able to support all of our applications using WebLogic Application Server. It's been a reliable journey until now.
  • It has simplified the management of new/redundant users on an environment.
Oracle WebLogic Server is meant for enterprise applications. I have used Apache Tomcat for academic projects and definitely find WebLogic to be a powerful alternative.
For a wide variety of enterprise applications, Oracle Weblogic Server is best suited where the best possible care is taken related to user security, roles and policies. The compatibility between other Oracle Enterprise Management tools makes it a great choice.
