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.
RICARDO FILIPO - PeerSpot reviewer
Very customizable, and forms the base for most websites on the Internet
I work in the community, and I'm part of a team making the core of WordPress. We are responsible for creating how WordPress will change in the next version. The main point is concurrency. For example, we have Squarespace, Wix, and a lot of other frameworks with the same features and functionalities. All those frameworks are going to a completely no-code experience. Anyone can then have a website. You're just dragging, dropping, and writing texts very easily. It's like using Facebook. WordPress comes from a node way. There was a time when the webmaster needed to code in HTML, PHP, or some language to have a website. It has changed over time, but we still have some old things inside the backend of WordPress. We are currently removing all those old things. Day by day, WordPress will be easier to use and more user-friendly. WordPress needs to improve its usability. That way, it will be easier to create websites, e-commerce, CRM, platforms for education, or anything else. It would be good if WordPress improved its AI. For example, if you have a blog, the blog will be auto-writing. I'm working on this, and we have some solutions. Another feature should be the identification of users. It's related to AI. For example, if you go to a website like Facebook or another social network, it's possible to learn everything about you if you go to that place. WordPress has something like that, but it's not so deep. I am personally working on that feature. Anyone coming to a WordPress website will be identified. It's tricky because we have a kind of privacy to follow, so we need to balance both things.

Quotes from Members

"Integration within the solution is very good."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"WordPress offers great flexibility."
"The product provides capabilities to build modern websites and can be used for various aspects of services."

"I like the tool's plugins."
"The best feature of WordPress is its user-friendliness and its strong SEO capabilities."
"This program has made it possible for our company to advertise all around the country, instead of keeping it local."
 

Cons

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"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."
"Its functions need more stability."
"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."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"WordPress doesn't automatically scan the website, so we need to install paid plugins for this purpose. Unfortunately, this can lead to slower performance, which is a notable drawback."
"WordPress could use improvement in terms of optimization, especially for large websites with extensive databases and many images."
"One area of improvement is hosting. It should have its file manager regardless of where you host your website."
"The system should be more informative."
"WordPress needs to adapt to new technologies. It also needs to improve scalability. We don't have optimized content and plugins in the tech stack."
"I would like to see the addition of social media integration features in WordPress."
"WordPress sites do require quite a bit of maintenance: Constant updates to both WordPress and all the various plugins that it requires."
"In WordPress, the user onboarding process is an area with complexities...there is no step-by-step explanation provided."
 

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."
"It provides a high ROI."
"WordPress can be pricey, ranging from $0 to thousands per month."
"Regarding pricing, we have the flexibility to utilize certain themes and plugins across multiple websites for a single one-time cost. However, there are instances where themes come with only one activation key, limiting their use to a single website. Certain plugins and themes come with a significant cost, with the least expensive theme priced at around $120. Additionally, plugins typically range from $80 to $90 per year for a subscription. Consequently, it can be considered somewhat costly in this regard. Conversely, when it comes to WordPress, there is no expenditure involved."
"The pricing is very reasonable because WordPress is an open-source platform."
"It is an open-source platform. It doesn't need any license."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free. The domain and pushing data costs money."
"WordPress is a free solution."
"Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes."
