Mehdi Hasankhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Good integration capabilities and good security but needs to allow for easier template customization
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. It would be helpful if Oracle could create some sort of facility to customize templates easily if users use JavaScript or other internal tools.
Madhur D'silva - PeerSpot reviewer
Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"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."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"Document flows, storage, and numbering take off the actions for checking and assigning the numbering and running around with approvals and pre-approvals."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
 

Cons

"Its functions need more stability."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"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."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
"The technical support process should be more streamlined as it usually involves contacting vendors and arranging calls for resolution."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
 

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 pricing works for us."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The pricing is competitive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."

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…
