More M-Files Pros →

"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""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.""It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature.

More Oracle WebCenter Pros →

Cons
"I would like them to consider document capture functionality.""I think the presentation layer could be improved - currently, it's too complex, and there are too many features cluttered all over the screen.""Metadata, auto class, disposition log, and legal hold.""Alfresco has a very steep learning curve, and unfortunately, during the learning process, it's very easy to make errors, which often are unforgiving."

More Alfresco Cons →

"The integration with other products needs to be improved."

More M-Files Cons →

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