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.…

It provides flexibility in building and adding plug-ins, but the plug-in interface is not object-oriented.
Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented. It's diffuse, and you feel like you're dropping bits into many places. They're called plug-ins, but you don't feel like you're plugging in your code, but just reaching in with a hundred tentacles. Lastly, the process doesn't feel encapsulated.

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 (based on WebCenter)."
"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."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"With WebCenter, we can scan and capture all the information correctly, which is then imported into the system automatically."
"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"From a website editor point of view: Very simple straightforward CMS easy to use"
"Wordpress is an excellent multi-purpose platform with a wide variety of uses and features, including an incredibly large theme base, an incredibly large plug-in base, that it is written in PHP and HTML5 which is an incredibly extensible language, that it is easily transitionable from server to server, that it works very well as a CMS, and that it is scalable and customizable."
"The community is enormous and everyone is very helpful, and other people have problems already solved."
"If you want a website ASAP, that is also search engine friendly, I suggest you download a WP theme and hire a WP developer."
"No doubt, wordpress.com offers great features from newbies to experts."
"This product has excellent value, and good reward for the purpose."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see better performance."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented."
"The code behind a WP theme is not easy to modify in case you need additional features not provided by the theme."
"We are facing issues with outdated plugins and shared hosting security issues, only if WordPress is implemented in dedicated environment it is highly secure."
"No option to monetize the website (Affiliated links or Advertisements)."
"As website content and number of visits grow, one does recognize scalability issues for websites on shared hosting."
 

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."
