Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. 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.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Confluence is easy to use and integrate with other solutions, including social media platforms."
"The best feature is document management."
"It has improved collaboration, transparency, and documentation quality among teams."
"The ease of use makes it accessible for all users."
"I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"What I find the most valuable about Confluence is how easy it is to use."
"It's the best application to document all types of information."
"The macros feature in Confluence is quite valuable."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"This product is very good for scaling; it is easy to expand this solution and I think it is the best solution for all of the problems you might have with document storage."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"Overall, this is a very good solution and other than the support for the Arabic translation, I cannot think of additional features that I would like at the moment."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
 

Cons

"The dashboards should be improved."
"The WYSIWYG editor is great, but there are some problems with formatting."
"Atlassian needs to provide the source editor or a built-in plugin."
"I would like to see more macros provided by the company included in the license."
"Sometimes it has issues with cron jobs crashing - I need to check more recent versions to see if this has been resolved."
"All of the departments need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"Some aspects of the drawing perspective could be improved. When we upgrade a design and make technical architecture drawings to publish, we still use Visio first and then copy and paste it. If this feature were available on Confluence, it would be a useful tool."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"I would like to see better performance."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"Its functions need more stability."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license."
"In my opinion, it's worth the investment"
"Maybe we're only using 10% of it, but we have to pay for everything."
"The issues I have with the pricing are in respect to the add-ons."
"To my knowledge, Atlassian Confluence had a pricing approach which is a commercial open-source solution, so that if you are a company, you had to pay an amount. This fee was not huge compared to other traditional solutions, and it was free for personal use or if you were an individual."
"Pricing wise, it ends up being an expensive solution. In the beginning it's cheap, but by the time you have all the functions you need, it turns out to be expensive."
"For us, it's free to use. We don't pay any licensing."
"The price of the on-premises data center version is too expensive."
"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."
