Erick Kathurima - PeerSpot reviewer
Improves efficiency and offers reliability along with good flexibility
I have used Oracle in different places, especially in the IT industry, for several years since 2009. I have been in the IT industry for a long period of time. I have had a chance to interact with many systems, and I have been in touch with several programming languages, including the ones in Oracle. As a developer, I use Oracle Content Management as an enterprise tool to enable development. The solution's integration capabilities are doing very well because I work with many of them, and its APIs are flexible, good, and secure. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Streamlined collaboration through seamless integration and customization

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."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"Sharing information is very easy in SharePoint. We use multiple types of documents, like online Excel tools and online content editing, especially for group editing. This allows us to collaborate, even in distributed teams. Despite being geographically spread out, everyone can access the same files online, edit them, and see changes. We also use SharePoint to track all these changes, making our teamwork more collaborative overall. The tool fastens information sharing and collaboration."
"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
 

Cons

"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"The solution's support services and GenAI could be improved and made faster and more knowledgeable."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The navigation is confusing."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"There are some limitations on storage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."

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…
