Quick deployment and easy implementation with complex logic challenges
We use Oracle Application Server for a loan management system. We created it for a client; it is a low-code platform. Everything is purchased in Oracle Cloud, and we use it to develop and deploy applications The product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time…
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 product offers easy implementation, which is a benefit. It saves development time compared to normal development processes."
"Oracle WebLogic Server has a bunch of ready features that are easy to use and understand."
"Helps in efficient load distribution"
"In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."
"It's a scalable product."
"The technical support is responsive. They are always ready to help by various communication channels, such as Zoom calls. However, sometimes it will take a while because when we are dealing with a problem, they need to look at the logs and configuration. A lot of the issues are related to the configuration that they need to look at thoroughly before they can give us a solution and it can take a few days depending on the type of problem."
"The tool's technical support is very good."
"The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service."
"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."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"The ticket-raising process is very time-consuming"
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive."
"The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files."
"Configuration can be a significant challenge, demanding a deep understanding and expertise."
"If you want to use Oracle products to the fullest with enhanced customizations, you need to get trained. There is enough documentation and the flexibility to configure the application to your needs but you will need to spend more time gathering the knowledge."
"The pricing is a little bit higher compared to other products."
"The error handling area in Oracle WebLogic Server is an area of concern where improvements are required."
