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

"The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"Overall, this is a very good solution and other than the support for the Arabic translation, I cannot think of additional features that I would like at the moment."
"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"Feedback workflows ensure we don't miss someone when documents need reviewing and approval workflows make sure the right people are approving it, especially when there are new or temporary staff involved."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"SharePoint manages version control, which makes it easier to track and amend documentation accurately, maintaining document integrity and enabling quick recovery if necessary."
"My advice is to not hesitate; just plunge in and implement SharePoint."
"It is very stable."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"It has transformed the way we do our daily tasks and the way the departments collaborate over projects, opportunities, and other operational activities."
 

Cons

"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"Its functions need more stability."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"I would like to see improvements in the interface."
"It is not really better; we use the same solution as before with Google Drive and the Google App solution."
"The solution's support services and GenAI could be improved and made faster and more knowledgeable."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"It tends to be unstable and slow when accessing different features."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
"When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
 

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."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The pricing is competitive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The pricing works for us."

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…
