Oracle Web Tier- an able competitor in web and application servers **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kiran Ramakrishna i. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2024 **What do you like best about Web Tier?** Oracle Web Tier has a robust and easy access to application servers and web host servers. The resources are tightly coupled with each other. It also provides dynamic run-time environment for running different contents. Moreover, it has a reduced operational cost in comparison to web logic and other resource servers. **What do you dislike about Web Tier?** Oracle web tier still has a negligible market share in the server category which is dominated by Oracle Web Logic and other server web cache providers. In my hand-on experience, we found the bounce time to be on higher side and longer lead time for deployment of node servers. **What problems is Web Tier solving and how is that benefiting you?** Oracle web tier surely provides huge benefits in streamlining web layer management and handling multiple hosts simultaneously. The servers are purely equipped with plug and play due to which it can be commenced or stopped as and when required by the systems. ### 2.

The limited customization options restrict our ability to tailor the platform according to our business needs. ### 3.

Now, with this system, all these functionalities are consolidated into one platform, accessible with a single login. I appreciate the convenience of being able to access all service orders under my account from the same site. This consolidation provides me with better control over my account. ### 5.

No need to search since it is all there in front of you. I also appreciate that the different categories are user friendly and are easy to navigate. **What do you dislike about Web Tier?** Sometimes it is very slow and you need to log out and log back in order to be able to access the resource properly. Also, sometimes, if you are not on the proper Java upgrade, the website will not load properly, so you won't get the most out of the site. **Recommendations to others considering Web Tier:** I would recommend Firefox as your browser and make sure you have the latest Java update so that you get the most out of the site as possible. **What problems is Web Tier solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before we had the Oracle site implemented, the resources we had for ordering products, checking pay stubs, submitting a time card, and checking service orders were all located in different locations.
