Migration to a modern interface enhances AI integration and cloud capabilities
Presently, Oracle recommends migrating to Oracle Fusion since it's a hot product now. e-Business Suite may soon be sunsetted and has an outdated UI, with few upgrades. In contrast, Oracle Fusion offers modern features, such as AI, cloud-based applications, and customization options like Redwood features. Oracle Fusion AI chatbots are embedded, benefiting projects.
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

"I rate Oracle Fusion Middleware as ten out of ten."
"Oracle Fusion is stable."
"The solution is quite good for applying patches or performing upgrades."
"Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework."
"It is really good in terms of features, and it is stable."
"The solution is extendable so you can start with two cores and add more at any time."
"The most valuable features are Oracle Unified Directory and unified identity access management."
"It is good because it's easy to use. It doesn't crash frequently like other servers."
"Helps in efficient load distribution"
"What I like best about Oracle WebLogic Server is its integration with other software."
"It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is more secure and has full functionalities that can be used for big applications."
"The possibility of having several servers running, so we do not lose the service."
"The product's installation phase is easy."
"We've got the support we require. If ever there is an issue, can just call on Oracle and they will assist us."
 

Cons

"Its price can be improved. We are currently looking for more cost-efficiency. It should also have a little bit more flexibility for customizations. The customizations should be quicker."
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."
"All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."
"The product should improve BPEL features."
"Technical support should resolve issues more quickly."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes."
"For improvements, I think Oracle Fusion Middleware could be better at connecting to third-party applications. While it works well with Oracle products, it's more limited to non-Oracle systems than other middleware solutions like MuleSoft."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware could improve by offering enhanced and customizable business-related features, particularly in supporting individual businesses or custom applications."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"They should improve the solution's garbage collection feature."
"The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive."
"The cost could always be lower."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"I can't point to anything missing."
"Managing and monitoring the WebLogic server environment has been challenging because most monitoring tools don't support it."
"The error handling area in Oracle WebLogic Server is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."
"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."
"We pay annually for the solution."
"The tool is best suited for large companies due to high licensing costs."
"The pricing is moderate. It's fine."
"My advice is to buy the basic modules first, gain the most benefit from them, then buy the advanced modules."
"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."
"The licensing costs are reasonable."
"Fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The solution’s pricing is affordable."
"My company uses a licensed version of the product, so we get Oracle's support."
"In our country, this is an expensive 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."
"It is expensive."
"The solution's licensing is high-priced."
"The tool's pricing is yearly."
