Streamlines document management and enhances collaboration through its robust features and intuitive interface
It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework. It employs document management methodologies. The personalization and customization capabilities of Oracle Content Management system are highly praised by customers. When they receive responses using this solution, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Customers love the ability to customize and personalize Oracle products to suit their needs. Integrating three Oracle products into one seamless solution enhances the user experience, making it easier for end-users to engage without being aware of the individual products involved. They simply interact with the solution, streamlining their digital processes. One significant challenge that our customers faced before implementing Oracle Content Management was effectively managing a large volume of documents. They struggled with centralizing document storage and organization. However, Oracle Content Management provided a solution by centralizing document management, making it easier and more efficient to handle. The user experience, especially in terms of simplicity and design of the Oracle Content Management interface, was a priority. I utilized the Oracle Content Management API for this purpose, ensuring seamless integration with other solutions. We consolidated three solutions into one user interface through the Oracle portal, which incorporated BPM and DPM for task management. This unified interface provided a streamlined experience for customers, rather than directly interacting with the Oracle Content Management interface. Our main challenge in implementing this was using ADF from Oracle. At the time, there was a scarcity of programmers skilled in the ADF framework in Brazil, necessitating in-house training for our team of developers to successfully execute the integration.

Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"SharePoint is a ten out of ten solution."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"It is well supported by Microsoft."
"The search feature is valuable."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"The most valuable aspect of SharePoint is its integration with Teams. T"
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
 

Cons

"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
"The pricing is competitive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
