Offering comprehensive features, Oracle WebCenter supports easy content creation and scalability. Users benefit from database integration, secure document management, and workflow automation. The interface allows seamless collaboration through discussion boards, blogs, and wikis, enhancing team dynamics. REST APIs facilitate compatibility, while analytics supports workload partitioning and balancing. However, areas like content personalization and API stability need enhancements. Compatibility issues with Windows 10 and language support for Arabic and Persian require attention, and integration with third-party applications must be improved.
What features are included with Oracle WebCenter?Industries such as financial services implement Oracle WebCenter on-premises due to its robust security features, maintaining control over data centers while complying with strict regulations. The platform's integration with Oracle products provides a comprehensive document management system suited for sectors requiring high security and efficient data handling.
Oracle WebCenter was previously known as WebCenter, FatWire.

| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Vice President - Head Digital Partnership and Alliances at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | I primarily use Oracle WebCenter for content management and publishing due to its user-friendly interface. However, it demands significant design effort to upload content and its performance isn't market-leading; it also needs improvements in agility and adaptability. |
| Procurement and Supply Chain Consultant at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | I use this on-premise solution for data center management, valuing its analytics and workload partitioning. While scalable, I find backup speed needs improving and setup was complex. Support is good but expensive. Overall, I rate it a 7/10. |
| Head of Development and Implementation at Arak Petrochemical Company | 5.0 | I consider this Oracle solution one of the best tools, valuing its easy integration, scalability, security, and stability. However, the lack of Persian language support and difficult template customization without specific skills are significant drawbacks. |
| System Analyst, Oracle ECM Team Leader at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I value this solution's scalability, stability, and features. However, its complex setup and very high pricing are major drawbacks, as cheaper alternatives offer similar functionality. I recommend it mainly for existing Oracle users. |
| Pre-Sales Manager / Engineer at a comms service provider with 11-50 employees | 4.5 | I consider this reliable, scalable document management system with BPM capabilities very good, giving it a 9/10. It integrates well and offers competitive pricing with Oracle's discounts. My only concern is the missing Arabic translation. |
| Head of Development and Implementation at Arak Petrochemical Company | 5.0 | I love Oracle WebCenter for managing and searching my company's large document volume, and its excellent Oracle integration. Stability, scalability, and support are strong, but its current incompatibility with Windows 10 is a significant problem. |
| Business Analyst at United Automotive Electronic Systems Co.,Ltd | 2.5 | We use WebCenter for our intranet, but it doesn't meet our requirements. Its content update feature is valuable. However, we need improved stability, a better UI, more Web 2.0 features, and a lower price. |
| IT Principal Consultant at a tech company with 10,001+ employees | 2.0 | After two years, I value its content update features and smooth deployment. However, initial setup was very complicated, and I experienced performance issues, with customer service being fair. |
| Senior Full Stack Developer Ruby on Rails at a marketing services firm with 51-200 employees | 3.5 | I value Oracle WebCenter Sites' content creation and APIs, and support is excellent. However, personalization, workflows, and the expensive satellite cache need improvement, especially regarding stability in a cluster. Installation is easy. |
| Oracle Fusion Middleware Consultant at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | I find its collaboration features and SSO valuable, improving internal work. However, UCX APIs need work, it can slow under load, and custom setups are cumbersome, requiring skilled resources. |
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.
I've been using WebCenter for a year.
WebCenter's scalability is fine.
The initial setup was straightforward, but there were issues migrating from the existing setup to Oracle's.
WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side.
We are now sunsetting WebCenter and evaluating Adobe Sites as a replacement. WebCenter is not a good choice if your system requires frequent changes and an agile framework. I would give WebCenter a rating of seven out of ten.
We use this application to manage our computers in our data center. That is where most applications are hosted. We use this solution on-premises because we work for a financial service organization and we have some regulations that don't allow us to put our server on the cloud for now - for security reasons.
The feature I like most is the analytics part. You are able to see the workload you are on and it also allows you to partition. You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server which causes it to shut down automatically. This is one of the key features that I find intriguing.
In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced. When it takes too long for you to back up your application for your DR, disaster recovery site, it becomes a cumbersome job to do. They could enhance the bandwidth or something so that it is easier to do the backup at the end of every month or at the end of a cycle.
Additionally, it should have an automated configuration, it should be very scalable, and it should allow you to be able to monitor your deployments. It should also have an automated database and application backup that allows reporting from any point in time. Finally, it should be easy for you to migrate from on-prem to the cloud when the decision to move to the cloud is taken. I think those are the key things.
I've been using Oracle WebCenter since 2015.
We are using the most updated version. We obtained it in 2017. Because we have a subscription for the tech support that comes with upgrades, so when there is a new version we get upgraded to it automatically.
In terms of stability, once in a while, we encounter bugs. There is no perfect solution anywhere. What matters to us is the speed at which we get support. Yes, we have bugs. But when there are bugs and we raise a ticket, the speed at which this should be taken care of is what matters to us. So we have to subscribe to Oracle this year to be able to get that kind of software support, even if it is too expensive, and it is very expensive for us.
In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale. It's like a pillar that helps to build our site, our portal, and our content. I think it also allows for the improvement of our business agility. Plus, it's seamless.
Right now I think around 12 of our people are making use of Oracle WebCenter.
I am satisfied with the quality of the technical support. The only issue is the cost - it is very expensive. We pay for advanced Oracle customer support every year.
The initial setup was complex. I attribute that to a knowledge gap. Oracle could have taken more time to make sure that our people were trained before going into implementation mode. When you get to implementation mode and you don’t have sufficient knowledge of what you are doing, you tend to struggle to keep up, and that is how little things get forgotten.
For implementation, we made use of an integrator - the local Oracle partners in Nigeria.
Before going with Oracle WebCenter, we evaluated against IBM.
In terms of advice for people thinking about this solution, they need to do a very detailed requirement document. It is very important that they find a flow that suits their company, not just by looking at the brand. They should have a very deep dive into how their business is structured and how they can structure it. They should also have a look at their digital calculation journey, say five years from now instead of looking at just what works today. I think they should start looking at the scalability of the various industries they want to go into because the landscape changes in the next five years like we have witnessed today. They need a product that can continue to grow with them, that will scale so that they don't start shopping for a new one after five years.
On a scale from 1 - 10, I give it a 7.
We primarily use this solution as we use multiple Oracle products, and it's easy to integrate it in with the others.
The solution offers a lot of features that are valuable. The security of it is very good.
Integration within the solution is very good.
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.
It would be helpful if Oracle could create some sort of facility to customize templates easily if users use JavaScript or other internal tools.
I've been using the solution for two years.
The stability of the solution is good. We haven't had any problems in two years. There hasn't been any crashes or anything of that nature.
The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion. You can change the requirements easily. We have about 1,500 users on the solution currently.
Unfortunately, due to sanctions in Iran, we can't access technical support.
We did use SharePoint many years ago and have since switched over to Oracle. As we use many Oracle products, it was easy to integrate it into everything.
In our company we use clustering, so the setup is very, very complex. We need to use the WebLogic sharing application server. I do have fairly good experience using the solution, so I'm able to manage it fine.
We use the tool for free in our country; the licensing policy is not accessible in Iran.
Due to the sanctions within our country, we only have access to on-premises deployment models.
The system is very customizable and we have plans to integrate it with our finance and inventory systems as well.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I believe the solution is one of the best tools in the world.
The product is a standard document management solution, so there are no special features to point to.
It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.
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 solution is stable.
The solution is extremely scalable.
Technical support has been pretty good. We're satisfied with it.
The initial setup is complex. Since Oracle has re-written their solution in order to place it on their public server, the setup itself has grown more complex. This is necessary, however, the change has required more steps in order to set up the product as well more steps in order to make it perform, and there's more things to manually set up.
The pricing is very high. You can get a similar solution for free. If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle.
In terms of advice I would give to others considering implementing the solution, I'd say if they have the Oracle stack, they should use the solution. If they have other technology stacks, I would search for solutions that offer a better price.
The solution works great. Feature-wise, it's a very complete solution.
I'd rate the solution overall eight out of ten, but if I was just rating it for price, I would rate it at about four or five out of ten, simply because I find it so expensive.
This solution is a document management system that is supported on a light business process management platform.
The content supports phots, sites, and everything.
There are no issues at all in terms of documents, which can be used for anything related to purchasing processes or implementing processes.
This is not just a document management system. It also includes a workflow process engine, business process management, and automation for business cases.
Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data. This includes a component that can be used for artificial intelligence and business analytics. You can connect with a full suite for whatever is needed to manage a business.
This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language. It is needed for the forms, as well as the tabs in the software itself.
This is a reliable solution that depends on the Oracle database, which is a very well known and very trusted database around the world. It is considered to be the best database when compared to Microsoft SQL, IBM Db2, or Sybase HANA.
The underlying infrastructure is very durable.
This platform is very scalable.
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. Other providers will never give a discount for more than twenty percent, so, in this case, Oracle gets much cheaper.
When you begin speaking with Oracle and you discuss purchasing this solution, they will offer discounts that make it cheaper than other products such as OpenText Documentum, or EverSuite ECM.
Every day, Oracle is acquiring new products or developing them with their own research and development team. Definitely, there is much development going on.
My advice to anybody who is researching this solution is to first be sure about the product that they need. The second thing is to be sure about the roadmap that they want behind this product. Next, I suggest going with the best practices offered by Oracle because they are very well experienced in this field, and they offer it to help cut implementation time.
I think that people should definitely go with cloud-based solutions such as Oracle Fusion or the Oracle cloud machines. This gives a company all of its applications and required software on the cloud, but at the same time, it is on-premises.
Overall, this is a very good solution and other than the support for the Arabic translation, I cannot think of additional features that I would like at the moment. That said, nothing is perfect.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
Our main reason for using this solution is to manage documents. In my company, we have a lot of documents. We can search for these documents easily depending on content and title. I found the solution able to handle our large volume of documents and make them accessible. The product gave me a lot of options for storage and search.
It is easier to share and search for company content.
The most important feature is that it is possible to relate all of the databases that we use. I use Oracle databases like SAP Logic, I use BI Publisher, I use Epic, and my company uses a lot of other Oracle applications. WebCenter content gives me easy access, connection and compatibility with all of the Oracle products. The availability and security are very important to me and our operations.
The best feature for me is that all people can see the data for WebCenter content that I make content available to public or groups and they can use the data to make graphs and analysis. They can access things in my Google Drive. There is no backlash in the long-term with performance — not on the server or on the desktop. I like the availability and access features a lot.
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.
I have not seen any blocks, glitches, or crashes. I have not heard anything about anyone having trouble with that type of thing. I think that the stability is pretty good.
This product is very good for scaling. It is easy to expand this solution. It may seem like an exaggeration, but it is exciting. I think it is the best solution for all of the problems you might have with document storage. If you want to deploy it for your company, I would start in one department. After I see that it is successful, I would start expanding usage to the rest of the company.
Oracle WebCenter is the best when it comes to delivering technical support. I think that, in general, Oracle is the best company for supporting its products and solutions.
We started using the product on the cloud but a lot of the product's features were not accessible that way, so we switched to on-premises. We switched to gain full access to the product's features. That was important to us.
The setup is really very complex. I bought the Oracle solution for learning and used it with an Oracle partner to solve the problem in implementation. Deployment took about three months. So it was complex to start up, but it provides excellent services.
In the first installation, I used an Oracle partner to help deploy one server. That was a great help. For the other servers, we deployed them ourselves without assistance.
I love the solution. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this product absolutely as a ten.
We use it to build our company intranet, including news, organizational structure, product introductions, process documents, etc.
WebCenter does not meet our requirements.
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).
Some web 2.0 characteristics are unstable and can't be easily used, such as portals.
The price needs to be lowered.
The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel.
Each department wanted their unique content targeting.
I would like to see better performance.
We have used this solution for two years.
There were no deployment issues.
There were performance issues.
There were no scalability issues.
Customer service was fair.
Technical Support:I would give technical support a rating of 7/10.
We evaluated Sun ONE Portal Server.
The setup was very complicated.
We implemented via the vendor, and I would give them a rating of 8/10.
The most valuable features to me are the ability to create contents with the interface, such as creating database tables. The product's JSP APIs and REST APIs are also very useful.
Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!
I have been using Oracle WebCenter Sites for 10 years.
In a cluster environment, we had stability issues with the satellite cache.
We did not have any scalability issues.
The technical support we received was excellent.
I used a free OWS solution.
The installation in a WebLogic environment is straightforward.
It is an expensive product. I would try to negotiate a better price.
Before choosing Oracle WebCenter Sites, we evaluated Vignette and some free products.
When you start a project, you should consult early on with your developers.
These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application. This also gives a seamless experience with single sign-on capabilities.
It has helped us internally to collaborate better.
UCX needs improvement and better APIs for integration with custom and third-party apps; better layouts for mobility.
I have used it for over six years now. (I started with 11g.)
It can get slower under load.
I have not encountered any scalability issues.
Technical support is 8/10.
Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome.
Pricing and licensing depends upon the other FMW products you use along with this.
We are an Oracle gold partner, so we didn't evaluate other products.
It has excellent features and possibilities for collaboration; you will need skilled resources, though.
