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

"Document collaboration is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Pricing is not a problem."
"I like the documentation. It's a central platform, and there are many things that I can do with it. I'm very pleased about it."
"Makes integration with other softwares or plugins easier."
"It is a good collaboration tool; you share the document content and also its history through Atlassian Confluence so that you can trace its development."
"The integration's very good. You still have integration with lots of third party products, and it's very good."
"It's a great wiki and is easy to use."
"Atlassian Confluence has helped the company a lot."
"The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"This product is very good for scaling; it is easy to expand this solution and I think it is the best solution for all of the problems you might have with document storage."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"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."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
 

Cons

"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"The user interface is a little bit stale. The file attachments and how they work could be improved. There is also room for improvement when it comes to CDNs."
"It takes some thought into how to structure Confluence in a way which is intuitive for the team to use."
"Confluence's scalability is okay, but you have some performance problems when you're working with too many people."
"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."
"Nowadays, the standard for documentation for developers is mostly in Markdown, so pretty much everything we can do is in the Markdown language. The support for Confluence to import something that's in Markdown is not that great."
"All of the departments need improvement."
"When we have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence. When a project is not shared, people cannot see that it exits."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"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."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Confluence pricing is good. The only challenge we have experienced is with Jira and the add ons we use that need to be paid for separately."
"Pricing wise, it ends up being an expensive solution. In the beginning it's cheap, but by the time you have all the functions you need, it turns out to be expensive."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"Making integration with other tools easier would be beneficial."
"I am using the paid version. My company has purchased it for company employees. We are using Confluence as a company. I don't know how much it costs, but its price is good enough. Its price is not so high."
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"Confluence charges an extra fee for analytics."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"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."
