Oracle WebLogic

What do you like best?

Based on my experience Oracle WebLogic is a powerful platform for deploying different kinds of applications. We use WebLogic in our company for many years, and I can say it is a good middleware choice for the corporate environment. Before Oracle WebLogic, we had many problems with a previous application server, because it used to crash often. The real power of Oracle WebLogic is its extensibility and flexibility. You can, for instance, install the SOA server as a managed server and connect it to the base domain or create a whole new domain.

What do you dislike?

The concept of the Oracle Fusion Middleware including WebLogic might be simplified. There are so many choices and options available in this concept, and it would be much easier to understand the whole concept if the high-level picture is properly communicated with customers instead of all possibilities it offers. Many customers don't need all components for their use. As a user/customer you need to invest a lot of time initially to understand all the features.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Oracle WebLogic is a very good choice for enterprises with a lot of different applications. I would recommend this product for corporate information systems and heterogeneous environments.
