Manage projects effectively with seamless task tracking and integration, but deployment requires familiarity

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its document-controlling feature. In Atlassian Confluence, controlled documents cannot be edited by anyone else."
"At the moment, Atlassian Confluence is the best team product you can buy."
"It is easy to use, easy for newcomers to start using, has the “what you see is what you get” functionality of MS Word, and has good integration with JIRA so you can really do great things with the two products."
"With the versioning available in Confluence, history versioning, if you delete something, you can always find it, and if someone changes anything in the document, you can find it from the history."
"Just do it, it will give you quick benefits and will change the overall atmosphere when doing things together in one place."
"It integrates well with other Atlassian products"
"Copying another page and providing an option to edit everything is valuable."
"The sharing of information and simple formatting are valuable features. That is, there are no templates, and everything uses one format. This means that people don't need to worry about formatting."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet (based on WebCenter)."
"Overall, this is a very good solution and other than the support for the Arabic translation, I cannot think of additional features that I would like at the moment."
"The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"The most valuable features to me are the ability to create contents with the interface, such as creating database tables, and the product's JSP APIs and REST APIs are also very useful."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
 

Cons

"The search ability (using Lucene) is less than optimal and has known bugs that are slow in getting addressed."
"Being robust when dealing with complex pages, eating too much CPU, badly designed plugins."
"When comparing page changes, you are only able to select 2 pages. While this is useful, it has proven to be a slight limitation when many people are editing a document."
"Out-of-the-box, it does not have a good workflow solution, which is a bit odd given that there is a good workforce solution in Jira software."
"The Atlassian cloud pricing model is pretty steep. Confluence should be accessible by a relatively large audience, but the pricing model prohibits this."
"Some aspects of the drawing perspective could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to have the ability to import pictures."
"I would like Confluence to include the ability to draw flowcharts and diagrams."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning its price falls somewhere in the mid-range zone."
"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"When you purchase this solution you get some support."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"To my knowledge, Atlassian Confluence had a pricing approach which is a commercial open-source solution, so that if you are a company, you had to pay an amount. This fee was not huge compared to other traditional solutions, and it was free for personal use or if you were an individual."
"Licenses are quite expensive"
"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
