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.

CRM has supported contract tracking and customer insight while reporting remains secondary
I use Oracle software internally. I'm also selling project management software, automation software, and network operation software within the company to our customers. The Oracle solutions I use include making quotes with CPQ, making Oracle engagement clouds, and a little bit of CRM system functionality. I'm not the owner of it. I'm only using it to have admin access for my customers here. I'm not involved with any decision on what we're using at Broadcom for Oracle. We did a certain type of adoption in Oracle. We made a certain object for it, and that works pretty well. The only thing is that customizing and making extra fields takes a little bit of a long time. However, if you do customize it, it works out well for that part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is now much easier for us to send and segment emails, analyze our results and make smarter decisions."
"Act-On has an outstanding customer support team and they escalate issues to their technical teams before the frustration level."
"Act-On is simple to use and it makes campaign development a breeze."
"Our organization was operating blindfolded before implementing Act-On."
"The most important feature is the ability to assign a plan using the manual close function."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"My advice to others is they should use the solution, it is priced well and Oracle is a good company."
"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."
"The product is straightforward to set up. There's no difficulty."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"It helps our company interact with our customers, track leads and opportunities, determine how many opportunities are transferred into actual sales, and other such areas."
"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."
 

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."
"Support: My Oracle Support service, enhancement, bug fix roadmap, and planning, quick and modern global cross-search is missing."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"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."
"The product support, sharing the integration standards with major products or solutions and also for custom ones which am sure that will be a challenge for Oracle itself, support for REST out of the box will be required."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified."
"The support for this solution is not great. Our queries have taken a long time to be resolved so we no longer rely on Oracle support."
"The initial setup was quite complex in the beginning, and once it was done, it was quite difficult to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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 pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
