Featured Reviews

it_user82449 - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Systems Manager at a consultancy with 501-1,000 employees
The adaptive nurturing, segmentation, multiple lead scoring rules, and simple CRM integration stood out the most.
The CRM integration with Act-On is better with Salesforce and had more value for sales representatives than it did with Microsoft Dynamics CRM; that was MS CRM's downfall. Act-On Anywhere is a nice feature for general users, but the tracking in CRM is lost, and Marketing team subject lines do not carry over on the email templates.
reviewer2758776 - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Has improved process coverage and integration while offering strong analytics and user experience
The analytics and reporting functionalities of Oracle CRM are good. I would rate them eight to nine out of ten, but it slightly falls behind Salesforce, which is much more advanced in terms of meeting the process and analytics part. The integration of Oracle CRM with other Oracle applications is seamless; that's not a problem at all. The biggest advantage of Oracle CRM for me is the process coverage, ease of use, the UI, and obviously a good amount of analytics; these are the few strengths and seamless integration with any platform. The multichannel service support has an impact on my customer service operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Act-On is simple to use and it makes campaign development a breeze."
"Act-On has an outstanding customer support team and they escalate issues to their technical teams before the frustration level."
"Before I joined, my company used a larger, more expensive but more popular software, and after switching to this, my team can still do everything it needs to for cheaper."
"Our organization was operating blindfolded before implementing Act-On."
"It is now much easier for us to send and segment emails, analyze our results and make smarter decisions."
"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"What I think is best is to use the cloud, and it goes quickly."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"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."
"Oracle CRM's best feature is its ability to customize as per specific organization's requirements."
 

Cons

"One area of improvement would be ability to use dynamic content fields. It is available, but not to the fullest extent where it would help me."
"The CRM integration with Act-On is better with Salesforce and had more value for sales representatives than it did with Microsoft Dynamics CRM; that was MS CRM's downfall."
"The performance could be better. It has sometimes taken far too long to complete a single task."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"It's not perfect with technical support from Oracle CRM, which is why we have managed services because it's far easier to get our issues addressed than going through tech support."
"I think Oracle CRM could improve its user interface and user experience to make it more engaging. Currently, it has a more traditional enterprise look, but I believe it could benefit from more catchy and engaging colours and designs to better engage with users and stakeholders. While the capabilities might be there, the interface may not be very inviting for first-time users."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"The interface could be more user friendly. It is currently not intuitive, and it can be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
