We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet.""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."

More Oracle WebCenter Pros →

"The initial setup is easy.""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.""The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically.""This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information.""SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories.""Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices.""The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit.""Ability to store files of any type."

Cons
"The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features.""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 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.""Its functions need more stability.""Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."

More Oracle WebCenter Cons →

"The limitations and boundaries must be extended.""​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​""The workflow engine cannot support the business needs.""SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason.""This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities.""Make it more intuitive.""You still need a bit of expertise to add branding.""During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."

I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog.

    Major areas that SharePoint deals with are websites,communities, content, search, insights, and composites. The purpose is to give usersthe ability to create or develop these key business components on their owneven without technical knowledge of, for example, how to build a website or howto integrate coding. Configuring SharePoint into a business's system is meantto cut out all of the complicated steps, and pave the way for easierimplementation all around.
