The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature

The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature. A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it. I have been Zend PHP Engine for nine years. Multiple people are using the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.…

"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."

"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."

"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."

"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."

"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."

"The product is reliable."

More WebLogic Suite pros

"The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature."

"We have not encountered issues with scalability as long as we effectively use caching to optimize performance of our web applications as well as a proper use of database connectivity."

"It offers good support for various types of classes, along with many open source libraries that we can readily utilize in our application development process. This gives us a lot of options when it comes to custom development solutions, without having to worry about licensing or other programming-related issues."

"Zend PHP Engine is a good tool for developing and collecting data, offering strong performance."

"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."

"Scaling up is an important factor for large projects, and with PHP 7 and its performance improvements, this becomes even easier."

"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."

"Offers a complete environment to develop PHP applications. It is valuable because it allows you to have a complete stack (PHP, MySQL, Zend Server) enabling the building of a development environment, and to deploy to the production system."

More Zend PHP Engine pros

Cons

"The content search is not easy."

"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."

"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."

"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."

"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."

"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."

"The support is not good."

"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."

More WebLogic Suite cons

"Integrating AI tools would make PHP more competitive, as other tools already have AI features."

"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."

"Integration of MVC with ORM tools for PHP is okay, but lacking a short list of decent ORM tools for PHP to choose from; there is ample room for improvement in both areas."

"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."

"Although it offers a complete environment to develop and deploy PHP applications, it has some limitations. For example, when the volume of data increased exponentially, I had problems scaling the system."

"The solution can be quicker."

"The main area that Zend needs to improve is to support asynchronous programming tasks, which is facilitated in PHP 7, but not at the same degree as HHVM."

"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."

More Zend PHP Engine cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."

"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."

"Scaling is costly."

"Technical support is very costly."

"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."

"The Zend PHP engine is open source technology, so there's no need for us to worry about licensing or other costs."

"Zend PHP Engine is not an expensive solution."

"The solution is open source and you just pay for the server cost."

"Its pricing depends on the number of users."

"No problem with pricing and licensing, as tools are open source. You have to consider training cost, mindset setup cost, as part of the TCO."
