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.

Streamlined collaboration through seamless integration and customization
I have been an administrator for SharePoint and have used it as an end-user for document storage. Predominantly, I've been involved in administration SharePoint helps a lot since we've moved from using it directly to using it as a backend for Teams, which makes collaboration easier. It supports…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"The most valuable aspect of SharePoint is its integration with Teams. T"
"It improved transparency around work products."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"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."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
 

Cons

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"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."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Its functions need more stability."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"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."
"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 solution lacks collaboration features."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"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."
"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."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"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."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."

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…
