Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 4, 2024

SharePoint and Oracle WebCenter compete in the enterprise content management space. SharePoint generally has the upper hand due to its lower pricing and strong support services, appealing to cost-conscious organizations.

Features: SharePoint offers robust document management and team collaboration capabilities. It seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Office products, providing essential tools for efficient workplace communication. Oracle WebCenter is distinguished by its advanced content management, expansive enterprise portals, and comprehensive application integrations.

Room for Improvement: SharePoint can improve its scalability options and enhance integration with non-Microsoft products. Additionally, expanding its customization capabilities could serve more complex user needs. Oracle WebCenter's interface could be more user-friendly, and the deployment process simplified. Further expansion in native mobile support options would also benefit users.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SharePoint's cloud-based model facilitates quick setup and easy scaling, complemented by reliable customer support. In contrast, Oracle WebCenter, while flexible in deployment, is perceived as more complex, demanding significant technical expertise, although it comes with comprehensive support.

Pricing and ROI: SharePoint is typically more budget-friendly with lower setup costs, delivering quicker ROI, making it ideal for organizations focusing on cost efficiency. Oracle WebCenter incurs higher initial costs but promises higher ROI through its extensive enterprise-grade functionalities, appealing to businesses seeking comprehensive content management solutions.

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

"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."

"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."

"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."

"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."

"Integration within the solution is very good."

"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."

"The search feature is valuable."

"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."

"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."

"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."

"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."

"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."

"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."

More SharePoint pros

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."

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

"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."

"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."

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."

"It would be nice if the editing and setting up of SharePoint were more user-friendly, so I do not have to have an expert to deal with it."

"The management of the product/back-end is complex."

"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."

"The solution should be made more user-friendly for technical and business people."

"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."

"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."

"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."

"Using SharePoint is difficult."

More SharePoint cons
