Comparison of Application Servers features of Product A and Product B
It's relative. There are other products on the market that rival Oracle Web Center Portal and are perhaps cheaper to implement and maintain. Web Center does have a path to the cloud.
I see Oracle WebLogic Application Server being appropriate when an application needs several different data sources and messaging providers configured and accessible, with a configured level of control of resources (connection pools) and timeouts. It is also advisable to create distributed resources that you can configure as always active to provide more processing power, or as failover for situations of availability in case of disaster recovery, for example. An application where the number of required resources configured is very small and almost non-changeable, and no scalability is required, some other options exist in the market with less cost.
I love that the weblogic dashboard allows you to manage applications and see the status of each application.
Oracle WebLogic Application Server simplifies usage periods in the development and production of business applications.
Oracle WebLogic Server allows me to define various aspects of data source entry, including creating a specific multiple connection to facilitate data entry.
Performance and administration are highlighted in weblogic.
The Admin UI should be further simplified, the UI design was not too user-friendly— too many options and clicks required, difficult for the new beginners to figure out what they are looking for.
The admin server becomes the single failure point, although Oracle suggested some workarounds by setting VIP and VHost, it was not quite easy and straight forward.
Domain replication is hard, requiring a lot of knowledge and scripts efforts.
Admin will hang if the node manager communication encounters some issues for one or some nodes in the domain/cluster.
Not able to kill/terminate the stuck thread, the only way is to restart the managed server (JVM)
Oracle WebLogic Server has so many features that sometimes it's hard to find the right place to setup things, I think the dated user interface does not help with that either. This has a direct impact when deciding to use it as your application server, you'd need to have the right people and invest the time needed to master it. If you're application justifies it then it will definitely be a great choice in the long run.
I think Oracle products are the most reliable product in the industry and their customer services are also [the] best in class. Oracle WebCenter Portal is a great place to start your journey if you're looking for Oracle or industry knowledge. I think Oracle stands out a lot compared to other players in the industry.
I wasn't involved in selecting the server we were using but in our team we've made some efforts to improve the local deployment process by trying some other Applicational servers too. Apache Tomcat was a more lightweight solution for sure, and it coped well with our applications needs, configuration and performance wise. Despite that, since we didn't got clearance to change that into our local servers, we kept using Weblogic to guarantee compliance between the testing environments and production.
It's hard to calculate specifically the ROI Oracle WebCenter Portal had.
After all, this is a portal for users to find information.
This is a starting point for users to navigate, and it would be dependent on how far the users drill down to get the specific information they need to grow their business.
