"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""Integration within the solution is very good."

Cons
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have.""Better integration with other solutions is needed.""The integration with other products should be improved.""Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices.""If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one. That was my recent experience. They might have a bulk delete, but I could not find that option. If you want to delete something, you have to go to each and every file and delete it.""Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage.""I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable.""Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."

More Box Cons →

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""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.""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.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing may seem steep at first, but delve into the features and you'll soon realize it is incredible value for what you get."
  • "It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
  • "Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
  • "I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
  • "A business account has a minimum of three users. If you are more than three people in-house, go for the Enterprise version. All the external users are free of charge."
  • "Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
  • "I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
  • "They are very price competitive when pushed. Initially, they come out with a standard list price, but they are willing to be very competitive. The Box price was pretty much equal to or lower than the Citrix price, and Box has more features."
  • More Box Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price needs to be lowered."
  • "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."
