Gives me easy access, connection and compatibility with all of the Oracle products
WebCenter content access has a lot of options and flexibility. At this time, I only see one problem: in the sub-content and channels surrounding Windows 10. It only functions with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All of the operating systems in my company are up-to-date and we are using Windows 10. For whatever reason, you can't use the Oracle content on these platforms at all. This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade. Maybe it is just a technical problem. But it is a lot of my problem with this solution currently.
Madhur D'silva - PeerSpot reviewer
Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint ( /products/sharepoint-reviews ) 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

"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"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."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Its functionality is enormous."
"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."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
 

Cons

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Its functions need more stability."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"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."
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"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."
"When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price needs to be lowered."
"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 licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The pricing works for us."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."

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…
