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.…

"My advice to others is that they cannot go wrong with the solution."
"Customer Service: We appreciate HPE's team of resources, who assist us as issues arise."

"The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"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."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"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

"Users are intimidated by the Content Manager client application, especially when it comes to searching and managing content at an individual’s level."
"Many users have expressed that it is too hard to find what they are looking for."
"The system is difficult to navigate and understand the full scope of functionality available for end users to appreciate the value."
"We have not yet utilized the web version, as we encountered a few issues during testing."

"The product could improve its scalability."
"This system eats up a lot of staff time for support, administration, and use."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."

"I rate the product price an eight or nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
"The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."
"The solution's licensing cost depends on the customer domain. Though its costs are high, the product is worth the money. You have to pay a one-time cost and support costs."
"I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."
"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."
