Overall Satisfaction with Oracle WebLogic Application Server
It is used by most of our clients, they are large scale enterprises and it used primary because of the Oracle and Java support that comes with it. The main business issue that it handles is the all in one clustering and messaging. It is usually bundled as a sales package with Oracle DB and Java support.
- 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.
- Positive impact: Management of large scale clusters easily
- Positive impact: Rock solid stability leads to less maintenance cost
- Negative impact: Very poor performance regarding development costs time
The main competitor is Wildfly and Websphere. The choice it's all about the bundled cost regarding the chosen OS and Java vendor. All three are almost the same in terms of performance and features. An exceptional alternative from the OSS ecosystem is Payara. Payra has some commercial support if needed, comes from Glassfish and for low budget it can achieve great results.
