Mehdi Hasankhan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"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."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"The security feature is valuable."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"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."
 

Cons

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"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."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"Its functions need more stability."
"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."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The solution's support services and GenAI could be improved and made faster and more knowledgeable."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The pricing works for us."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
