Pros

"Stable and easy to handle in terms of hosting applications."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and performance."
"It's convenient and barebone."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"The program is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"This is a robust solution."

"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
 

Cons

"It's hard to find out the root cause of errors."
"A graphic user interface can be added."
"Lacks some functional requirements."
"This solution needs better management UI."
"Its architecture needs improvement."
"Improvement is needed in the synchronization between cluster nodes, especially under network strain."
"The support is not good."
"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."
"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."
"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."
"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."
"I think the support could be much better."
"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 would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While I am not directly involved with the financial aspects, JBoss is known for its reasonable subscription pricing. Potential users should consider whether the cost aligns with their budget and requirements."
"It is an open-source solution."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"Scaling is costly."
"Technical support is very costly."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
