Streamlines document management and enhances collaboration through its robust features and intuitive interface
It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework. It employs document management methodologies. The personalization and customization capabilities of Oracle Content Management system are highly praised by customers. When they receive responses using this solution, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Customers love the ability to customize and personalize Oracle products to suit their needs. Integrating three Oracle products into one seamless solution enhances the user experience, making it easier for end-users to engage without being aware of the individual products involved. They simply interact with the solution, streamlining their digital processes. One significant challenge that our customers faced before implementing Oracle Content Management was effectively managing a large volume of documents. They struggled with centralizing document storage and organization. However, Oracle Content Management provided a solution by centralizing document management, making it easier and more efficient to handle. The user experience, especially in terms of simplicity and design of the Oracle Content Management interface, was a priority. I utilized the Oracle Content Management API for this purpose, ensuring seamless integration with other solutions. We consolidated three solutions into one user interface through the Oracle portal, which incorporated BPM and DPM for task management. This unified interface provided a streamlined experience for customers, rather than directly interacting with the Oracle Content Management interface. Our main challenge in implementing this was using ADF from Oracle. At the time, there was a scarcity of programmers skilled in the ADF framework in Brazil, necessitating in-house training for our team of developers to successfully execute the integration.

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

"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Its functionality is enormous."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"It has improve our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"SharePoint is smooth and easy to use for editing, updating, and uploading files."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."
 

Cons

"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"The technical support process should be more streamlined as it usually involves contacting vendors and arranging calls for resolution."
"It will fully use your system resources."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"The solution's support services and GenAI could be improved and made faster and more knowledgeable."
"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"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."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"It is very expensive.​"
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
