Historically the default standard of financial systems and our systems interlock with them.

What is most valuable?

We're using the web server very tightly and operating the Java E7 specifications. The most important point for the prime web server is to operate Java E7. WebLogic is historically the default standard of financial systems and our systems interlock with them. I think that WebLogic is best application server, the E7 system.

How has it helped my organization?

The web server is just a Java E7 application server. But a special point is the operational functions, especially for the mission controls, and enterprise managers, and some easier management functions.

What needs improvement?

We are satisfied with the current functionality, but I am concerned about the future of Java E8 and 9. Also the server, the EJB and the RMI, OOP and maybe a T3 protocol in the WebLogic server and the next Java E specifications. The financial systems are increasingly in our company now using RMI over OOP protocols, so we need more support for the future efforts with OOP.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's basically stable, but sometimes runs out of memory.

Buyer's Guide
Oracle WebLogic Server

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We're now using a binary WebLogic server without coherence so the in-memory replication we are operating, sometimes fail. So we are now continuous rebooting, once a week.

How are customer service and support?

We're pleased with the support.

What other advice do I have?

I believe WebLogic is the most important application server.

Performs well and has good integration with security features, but we're having trouble with stability
Pros and Cons
  • "It has good integration with security features, including OWASP."
  • "In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."

What is our primary use case?

We are a software solution provider and I am a Java software developer. When I deploy my work, I use an application server like Oracle WebLogic. 

We have not deployed this product for our own use, but rather for a client. It is being used as a SOAP solution for a backend service for a BASE24-eps ACI product. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the performance.

It has good integration with security features, including OWASP.

What needs improvement?

We have had some problems with cluster solutions when working with a WebLogic domain. It may be because the error codes and error information is poor.

In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Oracle WebLogic for about three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We're having trouble with the stability of this solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In our country, we have had trouble with scalability because the DPS is lower.

Our client is a large company, but the market as a whole is small.

How are customer service and technical support?

The Oracle team is not a good provider when it comes to supporting. They do not have good knowledge of the technical aspects, so Google is better.

The documentation is really good. The community is also good, although the documentation is better.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. It is not complex.

The deployment takes approximately two weeks at the client's site, on-premises. The total time it takes for implementation is perhaps three months.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

In our country, this is an expensive product.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

My client is moving from Oracle to a Red Hat solution. The main driver is that it is open-source.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
