Questions from the Community

What do you like most about Oracle WebCenter?
WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.
What needs improvement with Oracle WebCenter?
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.

Alfresco scores are high on all features of an ECM solution and tools. Back office processing, rated as 3.36 good. Business Process Application 3.55 Good to excellent. Document Management 4.12...
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for SharePoint?
I have a little understanding of the licensing cost. A separate team handles it. I am not very well-versed in this area.
