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.

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"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."
"The basic product is becoming less usable by end users for site maintenance post delivery."
"I would like to have the ability to customize the whole WordPress installation. WordPress comes with a number of core features. I would love to be able to remove those I'm not using at the moment."
"It may be useful to have a downloadable program that you could have on your desktop that allows you to create and maintain the program while offline."
"It could be a little bit easier to use."
"The system should be more informative."
"I think that WordPress is too cool in its contact."
"The backend development process needs improvement."

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."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free. The domain and pushing data costs money."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
"WordPress is a free solution."
"I paid to have a WordPress site for two years and didn't just have a free one."
"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."
"Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free, although the domain will cost money."
"As per my understanding, WordPress is an open-source product, owing to which there are no requirements to make any payments towards its licensing costs."
