Oracle is great for a very basic blog. The look of ours was designed and built on the back end/code side, so I'm not sure if there are a lot of clean, modern templates like you see in a lot of blogs today to choose from or not. It has been great having a number of authors who can write content directly in the platform and then submit it to our content managers for scheduling and publishing. I think the biggest issue people may have with it is the look of the interface. It needs an update.
Workflows are a functionality in OCM making sure that the approval is given by the right person in the right job before it's on it's way to the next step and in the end, publishing!
Template functionality in OCM allows for easy copying and adjusting, allowing you to re-use best practices quickly!
Some of our authors have trouble figuring out how the workflow works. It takes a little bit of searching to find where to set a page for approval. They also have trouble locating where to schedule blogs to be published.
It's not the most user-friendly design. When you log in, it feels a bit dated and take a bit of time to get acclimated to where everything is located.
The organization of the backend code files seems very disorganized.
Finding any sort of tutorials, demos, site help is challenging.
Maybe the worst part is trying to contact customer support. There is a lengthy registration process for their separate support forum that requires approval. I've had a couple support instances there have been left unresolved and and closed without any offers why.
Easy to use, and supporting several permutations, the CM suite is an excellent solution for a mid to large size business. It's meant to be used by a team, and the functionality can work across websites and landing pages. There's also the high benefit of translation management, providing support for localized products.
To be perfectly honest, every one of my concerns and problems has been handled by the support team in a very timely manner. If they could not fix my issue they assured me it be addressed in future updates.
Don't forget about customer service once you have a closed the sale with a customer. Oracle seemed to not care about our needs/timeline after we gave them our Purchase Order
While OCM was a lot more money, they were able to prove to us that they are a much better solution to use and worth the extra cost. The reporting, capabilities along with the analytics that was easy to download was a big discussion factor for us.
