Overall Satisfaction with Oracle WebLogic Application Server

Oracle WebLogic Application Server is used across the whole organization as the only permitted application server. It allows developers to rely on a mature and stable JEE server known by many java developers in the world. As such, it is easy to find developers having the required knowledge. Secondly, Oracle provides very efficient support if you need it.
  • 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
  • It took one year for our middleware team to master OWAS but now they are very confident and efficient with it
  • The autodeploy functionality made our developers more productive
  • It is not esy to use across a cluster of servers
IBM Websphere is less easy to use, you need sometimes consultants from IBM to get the same things done by yourself with WebLogic
It is well suited if you need a stable and complete JEE application server with strong support if ever needed. If you only have non-critical apps to deploy or if you don't expect to have lot of users you should better choose an open source web application server. If your staffing is young they will prefer to use lighter solutions
