VikramSingh6 - PeerSpot reviewer
A simple and easy-to-use solution but not recommended for public apps
I would rate the overall solution a six out of ten. We have around five to six developers and engineers for the solution’s deployment and maintenance. You can use the solution if your website is not too big or complicated. However, if it is big and complicated, then you need to use Apache or Red Hat. This tool can be used for internal purposes. But if you plan to host a public app, then I wouldn’t recommend the tool.
Saikat Nag - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Cons

"The solution's pricing and stability need improvement."
"The solution's scalability needs improvement."
"The level of technical support the solution offers could be improved."
"IIS could improve by Microsoft Windows improving the update services. We would like to be able to update all systems that are connected. The WSA service has to be in good order to accomplish this."
"The tool needs to improve its performance."
"The documentation isn't very good and the options are very complex."
"The product could be more compatible with Linux and macOS, particularly when applying user configuration policies."

"The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"Oracle's support team fails to understand the real problem of the customer, which is why they take time to resolve issues."

"Licensing fees need improvement."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I was using the trial version of IIS inside my virtual machines."
"I think it's part of the Windows Server, so you won't have any other costs to add in order to use the IIS service."
"The product's price is not high."
"There is an annual license to use this solution and the price could be better."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The solution’s pricing is yearly. The pricing is affordable and not high."
"IIS's pricing is reasonable."
"They offer a one-time payment model for the product license, and we pay annually for support."
"The licensing fees are annual and depend on the model."
"It is expensive."
"In our country, this is an expensive product."
"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."
"The licensing of the product is expensive"
"The solution's licensing is high-priced."
"The tool's pricing is yearly."
"As Oracle WebLogic Server is a product from Oracle, it is bound to be an expensive solution. My company needs to make annual payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
