CMS Hardtalk

Had to get some initial information about Oracle Portal Products. In fact they have several portal products after they bought BEA. Some of them have a turbulent history as e.g. Plumtree, that was first bought by BEA and now is a part of the Oracle product portfolio.

We all have a huge respect for Oracle DB products (even though they are expensive), but reading this thread would you buy a Portal of this company?

Perhaps if you are in the IT department of a huge worldwide company that have strategic partnership with Oracle? Perhaps. I personally be cautious about committing  to a CMS / Portal product where even the expensive specialists and consultants  can’t solve problems with the product. The product is apparently too poor documented, or just too complicated to have a place in the software market.

We know that you have the resources and expertise, Oracle - show us the products.
