Oracle Portal success stories - only with BEA products?

Comparison of Oracle Portals

Dec 16th 2008vesterliOracle Portal & Oracle WebCenter & Oracle WebCenter Interaction & Oracle WebLogic Portal

In one of my presentations at this year’s UKOUG Conference, I made a comparison of the five Oracle portal products:

  • WebCenter Services
  • WebCenter Suite
  • Oracle Portal
  • WebCenter/AquaLogic Interaction
  • Weblogic Portal

The comparison included framework capabilities, content management and built-in functionality, and I came to the following conclusion:Comparison of Oracle Portal ProductsThe evaluation applies to the currently shipping 10g products. The WebCenter Suite license includes WebLogic Portal as a separate product - for clarity, the line for WebCenter Suite evaluates only the core WebCenter functionality and WebLogic Portal is evaluated on it’s own.Oracle Portal is licensed with Oracle Application Server SE1, SE and EE. AquaLogic Interaction cannot be licensed separately except by existing BEA customers that need more licenses. WebLogic Portal can be licensed separately or as part of the WebCenter Suite.Agree?
