Coding flexibility with good integration but users need coding knowledge
We are an Oracle partner and work with many Oracle applications for integration purposes. WebLogic is used for integrating various Oracle applications and third-party services WebLogic allows us to do the coding as per the customer's requirements. It helps us meet their needs by integrating their…

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.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The program is scalable."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"This is a robust solution."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"Faster web app implementation, when PHP dev is required by customers."
"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."
"The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"​Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers.​"
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"I think the support could be much better."
"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"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."
"Zend PHP Engine needs to improve the loading time of its libraries and make it faster."
"In terms of improvement, it doesn't support concurrent processing. When we want to process anything on a concurrent basis, we have to divide it into a number of things, like a queue, or we have to run it using Cron jobs. We would like to have the capability to run any thread or process in parallel."
"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.​​"
"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."
"SQL queries have always been an issue with PHP, especially if you use large tables, which require caution from the side of the developer.​"
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Technical support is very costly."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"Scaling is costly."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
"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."
"Zend PHP Engine is not an expensive solution."
"The Zend PHP engine is open source technology, so there's no need for us to worry about licensing or other costs."
