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.…

Collaboration has improved through simplified document access and controlled sharing
SharePoint is definitely used to keep a record of our files and data. The capability is quite good because it is time-saving. I have used it only four or five times, but it has been very helpful to keep all my information in a consolidated manner. The search feature is one of the most beneficial factors that we use to filter out the latest data or the latest file as per our convenience and use case. When you have a large repository, this feature is particularly valuable. Role-based access control has been helpful while developing the knowledge platform. The roles were defined clearly, which made it easy for the four or five of us to work simultaneously and collaborate on our project in a similar manner.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"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."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint Online are content management, document management, and approval processes. Additionally, there are a number of features that provide integration with multiple Office services and external services."
"Sharing information is very easy in SharePoint. We use multiple types of documents, like online Excel tools and online content editing, especially for group editing. This allows us to collaborate, even in distributed teams. Despite being geographically spread out, everyone can access the same files online, edit them, and see changes. We also use SharePoint to track all these changes, making our teamwork more collaborative overall. The tool fastens information sharing and collaboration."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"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."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"Its functions need more stability."
"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."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"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."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"I have been facing some challenges when using SharePoint, as the workflows freeze at times, so there is a maintenance activity which needs to be done periodically."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price needs to be lowered."
"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."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The pricing works for us."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"It is very expensive.​"
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The pricing is competitive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."

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…

I do not know the difference between the prices of the two solutions; I did not work on this project.
What needs improvement with SharePoint?
