Offers security features that are reliable

When it comes to Apache Web Server, I don't have any suggestions for improvement because we use it in the UAT environment. For production, my company mainly uses NGINX. There is no direct package provided by the product if I want to use WAF. In NGINX, NGINX Plus has the signature update capability, but in Apache, the same feature is not available, making it an area where improvements are required. If WAF can be introduced in Apache Web Server, it would be a good improvement so that its users can implement either the WAF module or ModSecurity, as they choose. For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users. Apache Web Server should provide users with the same capabilities offered under NGINX Management Suite with the help of a simple GUI so that our company doesn't have to do anything on the terminal while directly getting to use the user interface, which can help us with the configuration part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."

"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."

"It is scalable."

"Apache Web Server is free of cost."

"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."

"The solution offers good security."

"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."

More Apache Web Server pros

"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."

"The solution is useful for centralizing data."

"WebLogic Suite provides a stable application server experience."

"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."

"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."

"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."

"What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."

"The product is reliable."

More WebLogic Suite pros

Cons

"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."

"There isn't a dedicated customer support available"

"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."

"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."

"The interface has room for improvement."

"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."

"Its stability could be better."

"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."

More Apache Web Server cons

"There is no need for improvement with WebLogic Suite, although its coherence is a bit more complicated."

"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."

"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."

"I think the support could be much better."

"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."

"The support is not good."

"There are sometimes issues with clusters."

"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."

More WebLogic Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The apache software is free, open-source."

"It is an open-source solution."

"It is a free-of-cost solution."

"There is no licensing cost for the product."

"Technical support is very costly."

"Scaling is costly."
