Our our official repository and it has disposal management and retention management
The security architecture is the only problem as it's a little bit complex and too torturous at times. So it could be improved a little bit, but it is regarded as a very good system in Australia. It's probably overly subscribed. Also, what's missing is what people would like, which is basically online collaboration. That's a problem. But it has so many other things to offer that SharePoint, I'm sure, will not have. So, that will be an interesting issue to come up. It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft. That's a bit of a problem with Content Manager. They're kind of very volatile. So, that's been definitely something that could be improved.

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:

"Go for it."
"The product can be integrated with different solutions."
"We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan."

"The most valuable features of OpenText Content Manager are its stability, reliability, security, and workflow engine."
"This is a wonderful product with many options."
"Customer Service: We appreciate HPE's team of resources, who assist us as issues arise."
"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."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
"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)."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."

"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 business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
 

Cons

"This web client requires more refinement to be viable as a desktop client replacement."
"The ease of use should be addressed. If one is skillful then this will not present a problem, but a person who is not will be forced to struggle."
"Support could be enhanced. The first line of support consists of individuals who lack experience with some key aspects. When you create a support ticket, the time to resolve the issue may be prolonged because the first person may not understand the system or the solution."
"Users are intimidated by the Content Manager client application, especially when it comes to searching and managing content at an individual’s level."
"The product could improve its scalability."
"Many users have expressed that it is too hard to find what they are looking for."
"Many projects I've worked on encounter issues in production relating to load balancing and throttling where systems cannot cope with the volumes and capacity of transactional processing."
"This system eats up a lot of staff time for support, administration, and use."
"Its functions need more stability."
"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."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"I would like to see better performance."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's licensing cost depends on the customer domain. Though its costs are high, the product is worth the money. You have to pay a one-time cost and support costs."
"I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
"I rate the product price an eight or nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
"The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
"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."
