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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is highly reliable."
"The solution is easy to use, easy to maintain and isn't too technical."
"IIS's best features are its management console and stability."
"The most valuable feature of IIS is the database it provides."
"The tool is very easy to use and efficient."
"The tool shows us the operating systems where our servers and applications are running."
"The product is stable."
"It is a lightweight web host that is easy to configure for simple webpages."
"The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service."
"The tool's technical support is very good."
"It's a scalable product."
"We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own. It performs well."
"What I like best about Oracle WebLogic Server is its integration with other software."
"WebLogic is reliable, and it's easy to use for development."
"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."
"One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance."
 

Cons

"The areas of this solution that need improvement are monitoring, debugging, and troubleshooting."
"IIS could improve the error logging. There are times we are not able to see the errors. More details would be helpful. Additionally, the configuring of the IIS should be allowed through coding instead of the classic view."
"The price of the solution could be less to improve."
"The solution's scalability needs improvement."
"Presently, some developers do not have technical knowledge of managing IIS, so that needs to be improved in the next release."
"The graphical user interface has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"Having no support for other than a Microsoft environment and programming languages limits the usage of IIS in many cases."
"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."
"Having clearer mechanisms to directly map a database-level connection problem to the corresponding WebLogic thread would greatly enhance the administrator's convenience."
"The quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems."
"The pricing is a little bit higher compared to other products."
"The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server and other Oracle products has room for improvement because the pricing model isn't easy to understand. I'd like to see lower pricing from Oracle WebLogic Server. That's the main issue with the solution."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They offer a one-time payment model for the product license, and we pay annually for support."
"The tool is included with Windows."
"There is no license needed to use the solution."
"There is an annual license to use this solution and the price could be better."
"We purchased a Microsoft Windows license and the license for IIS came in the package."
"It is licensed with your Windows installation which makes it relatively cheap if you already have a Windows Server sitting around."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"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."
"The licensing of the product is expensive"
"It is expensive."
"My company uses a licensed version of the product, so we get Oracle's support."
"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."
"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 fees are annual and depend on the model."
"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server is expensive."
