We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is pretty easy to use for the most part.""The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it doesn't require coding. You just need to configure it. You don't need to code before getting something running. It makes it very fast.""The software is friendly to use for mixing data and analyzing it.""The most valuable features for us are their document management list and hybrid forms. and We also use third party ad-dons to achieve workflows and other recent apps.""The implementation and configuring of the resolution are very easy in the online version.""The most valuable feature is the "Alert Me", which provides the ability to set an alert when content is either added or changed and that the alerts can be either real-time or aggregated for the day or the week.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the Communication Site.""The support from Microsoft is very quick and they are very proactive."

"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server.""Integration within the solution is very good.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet.""It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."

Cons
"Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint.""The search feature needs improvement. I can never find the information I need when I use it.""The ability to preview files in different formats should be expanded to include formats such as embedded postscript (EPS), AutoCAD, and Adobe Acrobat PDF.""The areas around security, such as protection, need to be included.""Many of our customers would like to see an OCR feature, so it would be very good to have this in a future release.""Technical support could be improved. They are not fast enough, especially when we'll go deeper in the product itself. More complex issues make it very tough to find someone that can help you.""I think these tools do a pretty good job. There is only one area of improvement. Maybe Microsoft can invest a little bit more into the ease at which integration can be done with other third party applications.""The solution needs to enable better sharing capabilities between users and external users. Several users also have problems with linking their emails to their Microsoft account."

"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.""Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features.""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.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""Its functions need more stability."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "One of the reasons why we don't recommend the cloud version of SharePoint is the cost. With the on premise version, you pay for the license once. For the cloud version, there is a recurring fee. It is very expensive. They expect everyone to pay $20 or $30 per user per month."
  • "There are some aggressive discounts offered by Microsoft for organizations that are not for profit, which we are, and it makes it quite attractive to consider."
  • "Pricing plans may be flexible depending on volume usage and your corporate relationship with Microsoft."
  • "It can be expensive for on-premises deployments, especially when you have to support SQL Server as your backend database. That's where the cost comes into play. SQL Server has its own licensing, which Microsoft keeps on changing. Therefore, it can become costly. In the earlier versions of SharePoint, version 2007 or 2010, they had an express version where the SQL Server licensing was free. It wasn't like a full-blown SharePoint. It was only a slimmed-down version. It used to be whatever your hardware costs. You would install the free software and work with it, but you were very limited in what you could do in SharePoint. If you wanted the SharePoint Enterprise Server with all the bells and whistles, then you had to pay more to get the SQL Server license based on the number of users or servers. The subscription model is different for cloud deployments. Licensing is per user and per month. The cost also depends on the storage required. If you have a lot of sites or documents, then you need to expand it based on your needs."

  • "The price needs to be lowered."
  • "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."
