We performed a comparison between WebLogic Suite and Zend PHP Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"The program is scalable."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"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 Engine gives the flexibility to use external modules to easily expand the functionalities you need for your web project."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Scaling up is an important factor for large projects, and with PHP 7 and its performance improvements, this becomes even easier."
"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."
"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"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."
"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."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"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."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"The solution can be quicker."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"The biggest problem with PHP is you have to write lot of conditions or have to use a framework."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Zend PHP Engine needs to improve the loading time of its libraries and make it faster."
