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 business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"This product is very good for scaling; it is easy to expand this solution and I think it is the best solution for all of the problems you might have with document storage."
"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 solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"SharePoint is a Rapid Application Development platform where a simple library, indexed, can be deployed in minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
"The complete granularity of being able to apply permissions at collection, site, library, list, folder, and doc set levels give ultimate flexibility."
"We are mainly using the document sharing feature to share documents with customers in a secure way."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"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."
"This solution is extremely scalable."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
 

Cons

"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"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."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"Technical support rates a 3.5/5."
"It has its limitations. We are unable to use this tool to "archive" data and run queries to generate hindsight information."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"Primarily, the mobile experience is wanting in SharePoint 2010."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"The fact that it relies on the Internet and runs in a browser means it is bound to have performance issues."
 

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."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"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."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."

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…
