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.

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

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

Pros

"The product is scalable."

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

"The solution is very easy to use and offers a quick deployment."

"IIS has a very simple and user-friendly interface, which helps a lot in effective and efficient management."

"The interface, simplicity, and ease of management are all good features that make this user-friendly."

"When you are working with Microsoft solutions, you will see that the integration with the operating system, and implementing some security features, are easier in IIS than when using another solution."

"The solution is highly reliable."

"It's good and offers good usability."

More IIS pros

"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."

"One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance."

"In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."

"The solution works well in load balancing."

"The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service."

"Oracle WebLogic Server is secure."

"I recommend the product because the installation is easy, it provides a secure environment, and it's easy to manage. The solution provides easy monitoring. Accessing all the logs is easy, and deploying application versions is smooth."

"In WebLogic, the most useful feature is the UI administration console from where we can configure everything, such as security access, and we can start and stop it graphically. That's the best feature of WebLogic Server."

More Oracle WebLogic Server pros

Cons

"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."

"If Microsoft IIS could work well with AppOptics or things like PHP, Python, and other custom languages that run on the webserver, it would be ideal. I think there are cases where people need to use Apache instead of IIS when IIS doesn't work well with other web languages."

"IIS's memory management 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."

"This solution needs to be easier for cases where you want to have an IIS cluster."

"The documentation is not very detailed. They need to improve it and add to it. They should ensure there are lots of visuals to help users better understand the solution."

"I am using an older version of Windows Server IIS and the general management and navigation to get something done is not as straightforward as I hope it to be. The interface could be improved."

"It would be beneficial if you could automate security certificate monitoring with IIS."

More IIS cons

"I can't point to anything missing."

"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."

"The quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems."

"The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."

"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."

"The cost could always be lower."

"There's a bug related to the managed services."

"Oracle's support team fails to understand the real problem of the customer, which is why they take time to resolve issues."

More Oracle WebLogic Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is good."

"Users can get a subscription-based license or a perpetual license for IIS."

"The price of the cloud system is a bit high."

"We purchased a Microsoft Windows license and the license for IIS came in the package."

"The cost for IIS is already included in Windows services. We don't have to pay anything extra."

"They offer a one-time payment model for the product license, and we pay annually for support."

"IIS comes along with an OS license from Microsoft. Others can opt for a perpetual-based licensing model to be able to use the system."

"There is an annual license to use this solution and the price could be better."

More IIS pricing and cost advice

"Its high expense is a significant drawback"

"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."

"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server is expensive."

"Fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"It is expensive."

"The licensing fees are annual and depend on the model."

"In our country, this is an expensive product."
