Permissions management is really good and offer classification categories for searching data
There are some workflows which need to be more user-friendly. We need to improve here on the specific map of the developers. Also, the support from OpenText is really difficult. Honestly, I had a very bad experience on this. It's really difficult to reach out to OpenText. Even for small things, OpenText is not transparent. As a professional, I don't think that's the right way. This is also one of the disadvantages; many customers are moving out of OpenText. I saw multiple instances when I was working with new RFPs or new opportunities. So many customers are raising the same concern, and they are looking for alternate products. That's been the case many times at the project level. With OpenText, we ourselves often have to resolve the issue before OpenText people provide a solution.
Mehdi Hasankhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Gives me easy access, connection and compatibility with all of the Oracle products
WebCenter content access has a lot of options and flexibility. At this time, I only see one problem: in the sub-content and channels surrounding Windows 10. It only functions with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All of the operating systems in my company are up-to-date and we are using Windows 10. For whatever reason, you can't use the Oracle content on these platforms at all. This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade. Maybe it is just a technical problem. But it is a lot of my problem with this solution currently.
