    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.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Permission levels are also nice so a random user cannot just post without a certain level of access.
    • I also like being able to update the code if necessary.
    • It's easy for users to access and write, and there's a nice workflow to review any content before it gets published.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Templates are a good thing, but hard to set up and require a lot of work. (Other Oracle tools are more user-friendly when it comes to template design.)
    • While they did a good job updating the interface, I still believe more work can be done to make it more user-friendly.

    • It's unable to connect user accounts so that accounts are set and utilize a single sign-in.

    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.

    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.
