The solution is easy to deploy, scalable, and stable
I give the solution an eight out of ten. I'm wondering if it's possible to use cloud-based eCommerce with our on-premise system. Is there a way to integrate the two, or are they incompatible? I'm going to standardize everything and not go for a lot of software or a lot of solutions from different vendors. I prefer just scalable solutions. We cannot deny that all things, CRP included, have some weaknesses. This is easy to implement using Oracle, but that's why we can complement this weakness with one from some other vendors who have the domain in manufacturing in a specific industry. Our eCommerce module needs to be seamlessly integrated with other modules, taking into account our huge product inventory and the fact that we have customers both from the B2B and B2C sectors because our B2B sector is the largest. We also have other considerations, like getting products from suppliers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."
"The reporting features are valuable."
"It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."
"Oracle CRM's best feature is its ability to customize as per specific organization's requirements."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is user-friendly and the fact that the database handling is much better, like any other Oracle solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"During the demos, Oracle CRM's natural language search feature stood out to me. It departs from the traditional menu-based options, making searches more intuitive. Another significant feature is their Common Data Platform. Including an accounting package as part of the full platform was also appealing."
"The most important factor for recommending SAP CRM is its integration with the core SAP platform. Globally, most enterprises are using SAP as an ERP platform to manage their key business functions. SAP CRM has out-of-the-box integration with the core SAP platform. You can integrate your pre-sales and post-sales into the single platform on the SAP CRM very easily, and you can extend that CRM to your customers who can actually see what is happening to their orders—such as whether it is dispatched or not dispatched or at what stage it is—simply by logging onto the CRM platform."
"SAP CRM integrates well with SAP ERP which is useful."
"I have found the sales reporting feature specifically useful as it provides reporting and visualization which helps in decision-making. I use this to understand where to improve, which in-turn, helps generate sales."
"Getting the right information at the right time across different programs is important. These programs lack interaction between them. IPA is a good option to bring them together."
"The tool is easy to use."
"SAP CRM has a good performance."
"We use SAP CRM for customer service improvement. The main idea is to make sure our team has the right information when talking to customers. This helps them process things like price approvals for quotes faster. The goal is to make the product more efficient, and faster, and, in the end, provide better customer service."
"The solution's contract management and product hierarchy features of SAP CRM are the most beneficial for our business operations."
 

Cons

"The performance could be better."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"Getting technical support from Oracle involved going through commercial layers, which could sometimes cause delays. The attention received depended on the client's status and spending with Oracle. Clients with significant spending received global attention and a corporate account manager, while those with lower spending had to work with a local account manager, which wasn't always beneficial. This process could lead to delays in getting technical issues resolved. I am not satisfied with its support."
"The configuration requires a lot of technical intervention."
"In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic."
"Our users are using it primarily from their laptop browser and very few are using it on their mobile because the mobile is not that user-friendly."
"SAP CRM should create a more user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI)."
"The interface could be improved."
"They have recently updated their user interface but they should continue to improve upon it in the future. Additionally, overall performance or speed of response times could be better."
"The implementation and integrations could be better. After we went into the production environment, we had some issues. Most of them were with the ERP integration. Many other issues were around the client's integrations between the ERP and CRM platforms. It could be more user-friendly. It wasn't very user-friendly initially, but now it's easier for them to use. Now, the users can use that platform better than at the beginning. We would like to see reports with more analytic features and artificial intelligence in the next release. For example, show more metrics and KPIs and more dynamic dashboards. Because the platform has some models, but it's not easy to use. It's a little complex."
"The solution is slow."
"It was not very stable. It was not a network problem because we were using tools that were not SAP. They were working well. But when I'm running the SAP, it's not working for us."
"The navigation must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."
"Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
"We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"SAP CRM offers a free trial for anyone wanting to test the product before purchasing it."
"The solution is expensive."
"Its price is reasonable. As compared to other CRMs, this CRM is competitively priced. They have multiple flavors with different sets of functionality. Pricing is based on the flavor that suits your requirement. If you have more users, the cost will come down."
"The product is costly."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"The product is expensive."
