We performed a comparison between NGINX Plus and WebLogic Suite 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."I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"The load balancing module, which is equivalent to LTM, is the focus of the PSE. So far, the features of both are identical. I believe NGINX has more features for securing these services, but in terms of load balancing, both are massive solutions."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"-"
"I find the solution’s community support and documentation most valuable. Compared to HAProxy, have found a lot of documentation and community support on Quora. If you would be asking me as a developer whether to choose this product, I would recommend this since it has good community support, documentation, and signature updates. The configuration of HAProxy is also very tedious. However, NGINX’s configuration is very simple."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"The product is reliable."
"This is a robust solution."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"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."
"The support is not good."
"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"I think the support could be much better."
"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."
"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
