We performed a comparison between JBoss and Oracle WebLogic Server 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."The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"We can deploy the applications on the JBoss server, so it is easy to manage. It's also easy to add new certificates to the config."
"The most valuable feature is the UI."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable thing about JBoss is how easy it is to install and manage it on-premise, making the process simple."
"The solution's support is very good for repairing components."
"The high availability is great."
"The tool's most beneficial feature is its scalability. People with limited technical knowledge can quickly grasp its functions with a brief introduction. The tool's ease of use makes it a plug-and-play solution, reducing the effort required to train users on its usage."
"It has helped us to have different clusters within different servers, which allows us to identify hacker attacks."
"The solution works well in load balancing."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The technical support is responsive. They are always ready to help by various communication channels, such as Zoom calls. However, sometimes it will take a while because when we are dealing with a problem, they need to look at the logs and configuration. A lot of the issues are related to the configuration that they need to look at thoroughly before they can give us a solution and it can take a few days depending on the type of problem."
"Helps in efficient load distribution"
"We can manage every application by creating a managed server and a cluster."
"In the newer system, reconfigurability and the fact that it is easy to configure, make it very valuable."
"It is quite robust in comparison to other application servers."
"There is not much ability inside of the solution. The world is going beyond different micro and data-type things like Microsoft Office, so we are not seeing much ability within the solution."
"JBoss is not as reliable and stable as WebLogic."
"The tool's documentation could be improved to explain its usage and functionalities clearly. Having accessible documentation would save time for leaders like me when juniors seek information about it. The documentation should be self-explanatory and guide users on how to utilize the tool."
"The solution's pricing could be improved because it is not cheap."
"The documentation could be better. When we have questions, we need to check multiple websites. There isn't one place listing a set of common problems and how to fix them."
"Having the support combined with Red Hat support would be an improvement."
"The stability of the solution could improve with Microsoft Windows."
"It can have automation features. Everybody is focused right now on automation. In terms of saving cost, automation is always the first thing that comes to light."
"The cost could always be lower."
"The integration could be improved."
"There's a bug related to the managed services."
"In terms of what could be improved, maybe something related to the processes automation or starting and stopping the processes, because often WebLogic comes with something called Node Manager. Node Manager needs to be configured and administrated manually."
"Configuration can be a significant challenge, demanding a deep understanding and expertise."
"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 quarterly updates can sometimes lead to instability depending on the configuration of systems."
"Pricing for Oracle WebLogic Server and other Oracle products has room for improvement because the pricing model isn't easy to understand. I'd like to see lower pricing from Oracle WebLogic Server. That's the main issue with the solution."
