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

"Go for it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search, sort and retrieve using metadata; in particular, the ability to create custom reports using the print merge functionality as per the requests that are issued from clients."
"It helps us in terms of efficiency when working with multiple people at the same time, on the same case."
"Customer Service: We appreciate HPE's team of resources, who assist us as issues arise."
"Sharing of documents, reduction of duplication, and the ability to manage retention, disposition and overall records management have been significant benefits for our organization."
"An advantage is integration with your IP directory."
"This is a wonderful product with many options."
"The most valuable features of OpenText Content Manager are its stability, reliability, security, and workflow engine."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"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."
"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)."
 

Cons

"Technical support is very frustrating. It is difficult to get a good response from HPE and even more difficult to find anyone that can really help us with the product."
"Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find."
"I would like to see an improvement in the licensing process. It is very complicated and it seems to involve many different people throughout the entire process."
"The product could improve its scalability."
"This system eats up a lot of staff time for support, administration, and use."
"We've had it for a year now, and since we started implementation it has been, to say softly, a nightmare."
"Microsoft Office disabling the HPE Records Manager integration is an issue."
"Functionality gets removed as new versions are released."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"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."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"Its functions need more stability."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
"The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
"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 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 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."
