We performed a comparison between Oracle WebLogic Server and Tomcat based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Server solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has good integration with security features, including OWASP."
"The tool's technical support is very good."
"Another valuable feature is the ability to automate tasks through scripts, making our environment highly efficient."
"The product's installation phase is easy."
"The only difference is that Weblogic is lighter and consumes less memory."
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
"It's a very stable solution."
"Oracle WebLogic Server is more secure and has full functionalities that can be used for big applications."
"It is a robust solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the general web server features."
"The most valuable feature of Tomcat is its ability to export libraries into different instances so that I can use it not only in one application but in multiple applications."
"I would rate the pricing a ten out of ten, where one is high price and ten is low price. The pricing is pretty low."
"We chose to use Tomcat because it's perfect compared to other containers that we have tested."
"Web apps are very easy to deploy."
"Tomcat's ease of use has positively impacted project timelines. Tomcat already has high availability – it doesn't go down so often and doesn't require a lot of maintenance. As long as your application works, you can depend on Tomcat."
"Tomcat's best feature is the open source server. It's a flexible and lightweight solution."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"If you want to use Oracle products to the fullest with enhanced customizations, you need to get trained. There is enough documentation and the flexibility to configure the application to your needs but you will need to spend more time gathering the knowledge."
"The logs consultant, since it tends to be more in the server, we do need complete consult logs for a lot of different files."
"Oracle WebLogic Server's configuration could be improved because we need to do multiple configurations when setting up anything."
"The administration is hard, and it is more complex to use than others."
"There are always ways to improve. But it's getting better every time, with every new release, and every new patch, it's getting better."
"The tool's implementation should be easier. The product is also expensive."
"Tomcat is a polished product that has been around for a long time. It should be simple and high-performing, with the ability to grow and maintain stability. The fewer features it has, the more stable it will be."
"The stability must be improved."
"It will be useful if a direct report concerning a particular server configuration or application usage is readily available in the dashboard."
"Technical support is limited."
"Java functions should be built better into the solution."
"Tomcat is not user-friendly. I would also like to be able to have multiple applications run at the same time."
"Tomcat is used mainly for database connections. As of now, we configure that environment for any database configuration. But if any utility can integrate where we can pass the database connection as a string of details, then it should encrypt them and keep them inside. From that security perspective, Tomcat requires improvement. They should integrate this security feature."
"I would also like to see a dashboard with some integrations in order to see the logs and trace performance easier."
