Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 4, 2024

Oracle WebCenter and OpenText Extended ECM are both in the enterprise content management category. OpenText Extended ECM appears to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive features and perceived value, despite Oracle WebCenter offering attractive pricing and support.

Features: Oracle WebCenter provides strong collaboration tools, seamless integration within the Oracle suite, and easy portal design customization. OpenText Extended ECM offers robust document management, seamless SAP integration, and advanced permissions and security models.

Room for Improvement: Oracle WebCenter needs improvement in integration complexities, deployment processes, and personalized customer service. OpenText Extended ECM could improve on initial setup time, customer onboarding, and simplifying user interfaces across different industries.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText Extended ECM uses a modular deployment approach, offering flexibility and proactive customer service. Oracle WebCenter may require a more complex deployment due to its integration with existing Oracle environments, with competent but less personalized support.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle WebCenter offers lower initial setup costs, appealing to cost-conscious buyers within the Oracle ecosystem. OpenText Extended ECM justifies higher setup costs with significant ROI through efficiency gains in document management and deep integration capabilities.

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

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

Pros

"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."

"WebReports has a lot of capabilities that offer good opportunities to customize the applications the way we want to."

"We use Core Share to share documents with external auditors or with vendors, and that prevents them from being able to get into the whole system. It is useful."

"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."

"The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document."

"It's a very good solution."

"The seamless integration between SAP and OpenText offers a 360-degree view of documents, facilitating a full-text search capability."

"The version controls and the business workspace part integrate well with SAP and OpenText, providing granular level control over who accesses the workspace."

More OpenText Extended ECM pros

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."

"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."

"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."

"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."

"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."

Cons

"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."

"The cost of the product could be improved."

"I have not used it enough to start running into issues. Some of my technical guys could name a couple of things, but in terms of support, we did have challenges getting good responses from them."

"There are no additional features that I would like to see. I am pretty happy with it, but their support could be a bit better."

"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."

"More out-of-the-box automation features should be added to OpenText Extended ECM."

"The tool's documentation is not proper and has missing information like steps."

"The response time is not effective, and the staff lacks adequate knowledge."

More OpenText Extended ECM cons

"Its functions need more stability."

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."

"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."

"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."

"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."

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

"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

"It is a little more expensive than our previous solution, but because of the fact that it has become a rallying point for different groups to come under, it might end up paying off better in the long run by not having seven siloed solutions. Even though this one solution is a little pricey, it might eliminate other ones."

"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."

"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."

"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."

"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"

"The solution is expensive."

"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."

"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."

More OpenText Extended ECM pricing and cost advice

"The price needs to be lowered."

"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."
