We use Oracle WebLogic Application Server for OBIEE. We manage OBIEE application administration using WebLogic Server. It's a web-based application, so all administration is done through WebLogic Application Server. We do a lot of deployments using the WebLogic Server. It helps us to keep our applications up and running.
Pros

We can monitor the application health using WebLogic Server.
It makes the job easy for our Administrators.

User interface can be better - when we go to the application, we have to do a lot of clicking to see all of the things. It would be better of all the data was visible from one window.
Performance can be better.
It should be able to send alerts in case of server health issues.

It's well suited for Oracle Fusion technologies. Managing applications using Oracle WebLogic Server is pretty easy. However it can still do better in managing the system performance. Oracle can improve the WebLogic Application Server by adding altering functionality in the application and also it can improve the user interface so that any administrator can quickly do the analysis and solve issues.
We are using Oracle WebLogic as our fraud application (Tombeller Siron Suite) and Oracle OFSAA (LFRM) application. The Siron WebLogic system serves all bank financial transactions, like Swift. LFRM is a finance management application. Mainly our finance and risk departments are using this application.
Pros
First reason: it's easy to manage. There are many management services we are using, and this service gives us flexibility.
Second reason is redundancy. We are using high availibility features for mission critical services.
Security. Oracle publishes new security patches and upgrades often.
Cons
Licensing model is complex.
VMware support and certified features are very important, and also whether or not WebLogic supports and is certified to VMware virtualization. We can use more WebLogic systems.

If you have mission critical services, and you need high availability, WebLogic is suitable for using there.
But if you have a small project, sometimes WebLogic licenses are too expensive.
