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.…

Centralized document governance has boosted collaboration and made knowledge sharing structured
SharePoint is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved, such as user experience. For new users, the interface and navigation can feel quite complex, specifically when working with multiple sites and document libraries. Another improvement would be search functionalities. While it is good sometimes, it does not always return the most relevant result unless a document is very well-structured and tagged. Also, initial setup and customizations can be time-consuming and may require technical expertise, specifically when configuring workflows or permissions. From a modern development perspective, tighter and more seamless integrations with tools including Power Automate and better support for custom backend integrations through APIs could make it more efficient. Overall, simplifying usability and enhancing search and integration capability would make SharePoint even stronger. One additional area I would appreciate improvement would be performance and responsiveness, especially when dealing with a large document library. Sometimes loading or navigating through large datasets can feel quite slow. Another aspect is permissions management. While it is very powerful, it can become complex to manage at scale, specifically when there are multiple levels of access across teams and projects. Improving developer experience would also be beneficial. Making customization, API integrations, and extensions more straightforward would help teams, especially backend developers, leverage SharePoint more efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"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."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet (based on WebCenter)."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The collaboration features of SharePoint 2013 are probably the best I have seen in an enterprise product out of the box."
"It has improved our productivity to a great extent with its great collaboration features."
"The most valuable features to our organization are the ability to store and share documents across the entire corporation, and the ability to use workflows."
"An additional thought I would share is that SharePoint is a very capable and reliable platform for organizations looking to improve their collaborations and document management."
"SharePoint has streamlined many processes and provided additional organization for our company."
"Ability to store files of any type."
"For simple solutions, I recommend this solution."
 

Cons

"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"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."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"While this workflow operating system is better than others on the market, it is uncomfortable and expensive to really implement what you need."
"Search integration across SharePoint, Yammer, Teams, and OneDrive."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"The editing tools are still not up to par with all the existing hi-tech and GUI editing tools."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"Well, for SharePoint Online, the add-on features which are free tend to expire within a month or earlier."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The pricing is competitive."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The platform has medium pricing."

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…
