Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of JBoss EAP is its support for clustering and load balancing, which is essential for our applications that serve multiple users simultaneously."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and performance."
"Stable and easy to handle in terms of hosting applications."
"Its technical support is excellent."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It's convenient and barebone."
"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
"The product is reliable."
"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."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"WebLogic Suite provides a stable application server experience."
"This is a robust solution."
 

Cons

"A graphic user interface can be added."
"Improvement is needed in the synchronization between cluster nodes, especially under network strain."
"It's hard to find out the root cause of errors."
"Lacks some functional requirements."
"Its architecture needs improvement."
"This solution needs better management UI."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"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."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
"The support is not good."
"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."
"I think the support could be much better."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"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."
 

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."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"It is an open-source solution."
"Technical support is very costly."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
"Scaling is costly."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
