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

"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"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 main feature and idea of dynamically creating navigation, pages and portals are overall good and very valuable."
"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."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"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 document library feature in this product is most valuable."
"It has helped us collapse all our versions into a single file."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"Office 365 integration is most valuable thing in SharePoint."
"Its functionality is enormous."
"It has improved our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"It does too many things and some of them seem impossible to set up."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"The stability of SharePoint needs improvement, because once you start to get a large amount of data, it becomes very unwieldy, and it takes a long time to index."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price needs to be lowered."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The pricing is competitive."
"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 replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other 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…
