Good port and page mapping and good integration with firewalls
We are using .net website on this solution. It's great for our website hosting. All custom web pages and websites we develop are on it.  For all of our custom pages, websites, and web applications, we use this.  It's very handy to restart the back pages and restart the website engine.  It's very…

Offers efficient load distribution with a scope of high scalability
Our organization configures Oracle WebLogic Server in such a way that a load balancer becomes available. The network requests are segregated to the Oracle WebLogic Server as the managing server and different nodes are configured. Using the product as a load balancer helps automate request transfer from one non-functional node to another functional node. Due to Oracle WebLogic Server, the endpoints remain unaffected whenever a node goes down. The clustering feature enhances our organization's performance and reliability. In our organization, the health of the Oracle WebLogic Server environment is maintained and managed using Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM). I would definitely recommend others to use Oracle WebLogic Server. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The solution is easy to use, easy to maintain and isn't too technical."
"The product is scalable."
"It is an easy-to-use and secure program."
"IIS is stable."
"The solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."
"The interface, simplicity, and ease of management are all good features that make this user-friendly."
"It's good and offers good usability."
"The solution has been reliable."
"The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service."
"Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient."
"What I find most valuable in Oracle WebLogic Server is its flexibility in administering and managing applications, along with the built-in dashboards that offer high visibility into vulnerabilities."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is more secure and has full functionalities that can be used for big applications."
"It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks."
"The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well."
"One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"Scalability issues and security concerns need attention from Microsoft."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the cloud environment and the on-premises environment."
"This solution needs to be easier for cases where you want to have an IIS cluster."
"Sometimes if you are using IIS in large-scale scenarios, meaning that if you are deploying an application within IIS service and you are expecting a large number of users to use this application, you can sometimes find some problems, meaning that the service can shut down by itself unexpectedly if you don't configure your IIS with the correct configuration that can handle this number of users."
"The price of the solution could be less to improve."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see NLB features in IIS."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server and other Oracle products has room for improvement because the pricing model isn't easy to understand. I'd like to see lower pricing from Oracle WebLogic Server. That's the main issue with the solution."
"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything."
"The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"The integration could be improved."
"The error handling area in Oracle WebLogic Server is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The yearly licensing cost is very high. The solution is very expensive."
"IIS's pricing is not expensive."
"This solution comes included with Windows Server."
"There is no license required for the product as it is role-based. Whenever you go for a Windows platform server, the role has to be installed directly from the server manager. There is no additional cost that has to be paid for that. It is free to use."
"The tool's pricing is on a yearly basis."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"IIS's pricing is reasonable."
"I would not compare WebSphere and WebLogic because both servers are really good. The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"Fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The tool's pricing is yearly."
"The solution's licensing is high-priced."
"The solution’s pricing is affordable."
