"Oracle"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle WebCenter Content?

What I really like about Oracle is using the product is extremely easy to view my paycheck, my benefits, my time off, etc, in one place. It's user friendly, set up nicely so I can navigate the different sections easily, and without being trained on it by anyone, I was able to figure out how to use the program very quickly. I like how all my pay stubs are stored on Oracle so I don't have to print them and save paper, but they're always there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle WebCenter Content?

I do not have any dislikes. I enjoy the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oracle"

5/5

What do you like best about Oracle WebCenter Content?

It is very interactive and user friendly. We use it at work all the time and I feel as though it is useful for all levels of experience as well as age levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle WebCenter Content?

It sometimes freezes the computers that you are on, typically if you are using it remotely. It also seems sometimes to not work very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle WebCenter Content:

Look at the demos prior to buying so that you are sure it is right for your company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It provides users a more secure and efficient means to consume information and interact with apps"

5/5

What do you like best about Oracle WebCenter Content?

One of WebCenter Site's greatest strengths (and dangers) is and always has been its extensibility and flexibility. You can do just about anything with the platform. I've integrated it with video encoding, mobile delivery and messaging platforms like Tibco Rendezvous, written custom ingestion software to import twenty thousand pieces of content a day and used it purely as a content repository to be interrogated by custom applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle WebCenter Content?

It's so open ended from a design point of view, it's also possible to make some particularly bad decisions if you don't have the right information and know-how. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle WebCenter Content:

Most usefully of all it allows you to create a language fall-back strategy so that, for example, if a piece of content is not available in Swiss French, it would look for a Standard French version and, failing that, an English version.

There are also language packs allowing the Editorial interface to be rendered in a number of languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle WebCenter Content solving and how is that benefiting you?

WCS is commonly deployed with a configuration which includes Satellite Servers. These are essentially a distributed caching mechanism which store and assemble "pagelets," or elements of output. These Satellite Servers also sit on an application server, but have no database -- they are memory and disk based only. They add a cheaper scaling alternative for handling large quantities of traffic.

To put that into perspective, I've recently worked on a project running on a 60 plus server cluster serving up to 250 million page views a month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easier Over Time"

4/5

What do you like best about Oracle WebCenter Content?

What I like best about this program is that it's easy. Navigating the site is easy because the layout is user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle WebCenter Content?

I don't like that it times you out when you are using it. Even while I'm actively using it, it will time me out and unless I saved my work, all is lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle WebCenter Content:

This is a great resource for expense reports and timecards (the ones I use on the daily). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle WebCenter Content solving and how is that benefiting you?

I mostly use Oracle for expense reports. I do reports for over 30 people and it helps us stay organized and in the loop. Some of the benefits of using this program are that all their transactions are there, I can submit on their behalf and approval on their end is easy and I can track the status of the report as it moves through the approval and payment process.

"Best Oracle Product for WebCenter"

4/5

What do you like best about Oracle WebCenter Content?

I really like how easy this software is to use and how it has almost zero bugs in the system. They just released a new feature and it made the product even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle WebCenter Content?

With any Oracle product price is always an issue and they like to upsell and cross-sell their software so you end up spending a lot more money than you budgeted for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle WebCenter Content:

If price is not an issue for you then this is the product for you as this is one of the best products but it is very expensive so watch out for that. They will also charge you maintenance fees and renewal fees which is pretty standard in this space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle WebCenter Content solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are trying to find a place on the cloud where we can store all of our data in a place that is secured and easy to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Student Database Management System"

3/5

What do you like best about Oracle WebCenter Content?

The student database management system we used was based in Oracle. The system made it easy to look up student information. There were ample users on campus which allowed us to learn from each other. Each office used the system in a different capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle WebCenter Content?

It was difficult to sometimes process payments, but that was not my daily function so it may have partially been user-error. It would have been nice to have additional training opportunities to make sure we were adequately utilizing the services available through the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about Oracle WebCenter Content?

Full of information from a support knowledge base to customer portals and provides a way to connect with other users of Java content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle WebCenter Content?

Java tends to break after constant use and seems like it always needs some sort of repair. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle WebCenter Content:

The best thing about the WebCenter is that you have so much information that you can find in a single place and everything is sorted according to its content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle WebCenter Content solving and how is that benefiting you?

Just about everything needs a java plug-in to function correctly so we really have no choice but to incorporate Java in our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3/5
