Editing features improve document accessibility
There is a holiday calendar, however, I need to install an app or add something to it. The add-on feature is not readily available or well-documented. Guidance on this should be available in a forum. Recently, I used a feature in another tool—perhaps GitHub—where it helped prepare a chart. It involved listing resources, like having fifteen people in the X team, ten in the Y team, and seven in the Z team. It created a bar chart showing these numbers. This chart used AI to offer users the option to create it based on the data. It was then created on a separate page and made available.

Gives me easy access, connection and compatibility with all of the Oracle products
WebCenter content access has a lot of options and flexibility. At this time, I only see one problem: in the sub-content and channels surrounding Windows 10. It only functions with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All of the operating systems in my company are up-to-date and we are using Windows 10. For whatever reason, you can't use the Oracle content on these platforms at all. This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade. Maybe it is just a technical problem. But it is a lot of my problem with this solution currently.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The integration's very good. You still have integration with lots of third party products, and it's very good."
"The most valuable features is its design documentation abilities."
"The solution helped us to see where we were going wrong and where we were doing good, and that helped us to make proper decisions"
"It is easy to use."

"What I find the most valuable about Confluence is how easy it is to use."
"Confluence is very easy to use and feature-packed."
"Confluence can link any ticket or task from JIRA to be included on the Confluence page."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
 

Cons

"We would like there to be more advanced data manipulation features available in this solution, such as creating more complex charts, and a column freezing option."
"There is a holiday calendar, however, I need to install an app or add something to it. The add-on feature is not readily available or well-documented."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"The software does not currently have any kind of AI integration."
"The search function is not great."
"An area for improvement would be the intuitiveness of using the features, especially if you want to customize."
"There is a significant difference between the data center version and the cloud version of Confluence. Providing the same features in both versions would be beneficial."
"The product is considered expensive."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"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."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"Its functions need more stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use Atlassian Confluence."
"When you purchase this solution you get some support."
"We pay $350 a month to use the solution."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."

"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"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."
