Easy to optimize for high performance and handle heavy traffic
Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

Cons

"The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system."
"Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"The content search is not easy."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."
"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."
"The support is not good."
