A cost-effective solution for ERP solution but requires data analytics
We're a small and medium-sized business with data needs. Oracle’s features cater primarily to data management, which is relevant to us because our data size is moderate, hovering around 10 gigabytes. Before Oracle, we relied on Azure Microsoft SCS Server for our database, but it couldn't handle our optimization requirements. That's why we migrated to Oracle Server. We're apparently using VMware. Oracle is not operating 24/7. We haven't experienced any issues, but some power factor may have caused the server downtime. Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.

Stable and scalable enterprise deployment with Cloud-Native support
Oracle WebLogic Server helps with my deployment strategy in both monolithic as well as Cloud-Native ways. I think it is useful; this Cloud-Native support helps with deployment in both on-prem and cloud. For container deployment, we are not very rich. We are in the process of moving our business logic to containerization. But in terms of this being a big product, a core banking system, I prefer on-prem rather than cloud. The use cases and the scrum help me a lot in an iterative, incremental manner. I would recommend this product; it is an enterprise, large volume, and of course, it is worth it to deploy. I am providing this review with a rating of 9.

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."
"WebLogic is a mature Java application server and when compared to competitors, it excels in speed, scalability and stability."
"The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"We have some hosted servers as well as some of our own, and Oracle WebLogic Server performs well."
"One of the good features of Oracle WebLogic Server was the ability to add some custom parameters to its deployment and performance."
"The product is flexible and allows us to leverage deployments."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
"We have found the stability to be excellent and the product is very reliable."
 

Cons

"If you have complex business logic, there is no option to build that complex logic inside the platform."
"Configuration can be a significant challenge, demanding a deep understanding and expertise."
"I'd like to have a lighter version for micro-service architecture. In my experience, it can sometimes take 15-30 minutes just to start the server if we deploy a lot of applications."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for the REST interface."
"Stability was an issue in earlier versions, it was sometimes difficult to bring up the server whenever it goes down, which seldom happens."
"The cost of the solution is okay, however, it could always be less."
"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 administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything."
