Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Collaboration has improved through simplified document access and controlled sharing
SharePoint is definitely used to keep a record of our files and data. The capability is quite good because it is time-saving. I have used it only four or five times, but it has been very helpful to keep all my information in a consolidated manner. The search feature is one of the most beneficial factors that we use to filter out the latest data or the latest file as per our convenience and use case. When you have a large repository, this feature is particularly valuable. Role-based access control has been helpful while developing the knowledge platform. The roles were defined clearly, which made it easy for the four or five of us to work simultaneously and collaborate on our project in a similar manner.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"The most valuable features to me are the ability to create contents with the interface, such as creating database tables, and the product's JSP APIs and REST APIs are also very useful."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
"When properly implemented and users are adequately trained, SharePoint can take the place of network file shares for most types of use cases."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"Improved collaboration through multi-user document editing capabilities."
"It is a good solution for the enterprise level."
 

Cons

"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"Its functions need more stability."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"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."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"The user profile synchronization feature is cumbersome to configure and at least initially had some stability issues."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"Analytics and reporting is an area with room for improvement. It should provide more complex-process automation out of the box."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Performance: The web page was sometimes not as fast as we'd like to see."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"The product could be more intuitive both from an administrative point of view and from an end user point of view."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price needs to be lowered."
"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 replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"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."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."

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…
