Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 5, 2025

WebLogic Suite and Apache Web Server are two prominent solutions in the web server market. WebLogic Suite has the upper hand in enterprise-level features, while Apache Web Server is advantageous for cost-effectiveness and ease of use.

Features: WebLogic Suite offers robust scalability, integration with Oracle products, and advanced clustering capabilities, catering to enterprise-level requirements. Apache Web Server is renowned for flexibility, ease of configuration, and strong community-driven enhancements, serving a diverse range of deployment scenarios.

Room for Improvement: WebLogic Suite users note the need for better transaction monitoring, simplified deployment, and improved multi-tenancy features, while calling for lighter deployment options and enhanced cloud integration. Apache Web Server could benefit from improved command-line interfaces, official support availability, and better integration with modern cloud environments. Enhancing security and management interfaces could further its appeal.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: WebLogic Suite deployment is suited for complex enterprise environments, offering hybrid and cloud options, with high-quality support from Oracle but concerns over accessibility and cost. Apache Web Server offers straightforward on-premises deployments, relying on community support, where ease of setup and affordability make it favorable for straightforward implementations.

Pricing and ROI: WebLogic Suite is seen as costly due to licensing; however, its extensive feature set justifies the expense for large enterprises. Apache Web Server is cost-efficient, being free and open-source, which makes it attractive for organizations prioritizing budget, contributing to its widespread adoption.

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 very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."

"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."

"The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."

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

"It is scalable."

"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."

"The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too."

"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."

More Apache Web Server pros

"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."

"This is a robust solution."

"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 most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."

"The product is reliable."

"WebLogic Suite is scalable."

"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."

More WebLogic Suite pros

Cons

"There isn't a dedicated customer support available"

"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."

"The interface has room for improvement."

"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."

"So far, for us, everything is okay."

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

"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."

"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."

More Apache Web Server cons

"I think the support could be much better."

"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."

"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."

"The content search is not easy."

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

"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."

"There are sometimes issues with clusters."

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

More WebLogic Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"There is no licensing cost for the product."

"It is an open-source solution."

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

"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."

"Scaling is costly."

"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."

"Technical support is very costly."

"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."

The result was Apache Web Server or Apache HTTP Server, which is an open-source public-domain web server.

This collaborative project has been enhanced ever since with contributions from the core development team and other volunteers situated all over the globe. Also, hundreds of users of this open-source web server have contributed code, ideas, and documentation. The project falls under The Apache Software Foundation, which manages many open-source projects.
