Erick Kathurima - PeerSpot reviewer
Improves efficiency and offers reliability along with good flexibility
I have used Oracle in different places, especially in the IT industry, for several years since 2009. I have been in the IT industry for a long period of time. I have had a chance to interact with many systems, and I have been in touch with several programming languages, including the ones in Oracle. As a developer, I use Oracle Content Management as an enterprise tool to enable development. The solution's integration capabilities are doing very well because I work with many of them, and its APIs are flexible, good, and secure. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Madhur D'silva - PeerSpot reviewer
Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"SharePoint's collaborative features are valuable as they enable productivity by allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously."
"It is well supported by Microsoft."
"​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"Its functionality is enormous."
 

Cons

"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"The technical support process should be more streamlined as it usually involves contacting vendors and arranging calls for resolution."
"It would be nice if the editing and setting up of SharePoint were more user-friendly, so I do not have to have an expert to deal with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The pricing works for us."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
