Integrated customer data has improved visibility and supports data driven sales decisions
The biggest friction point I have encountered with Oracle CX Sales has been user adoption, as sales teams are accustomed to using separate sheets, emails, or legacy CRMs, making it difficult to run and maintain data consistency. Data migration issues arise when customer data comes from multiple systems, leading to duplicates, incomplete, or inconsistent records that need to be cleaned. Additionally, the integration complexity of connecting with ERP, marketing, and other enterprise applications requires ensuring real-time synchronization, addressing varying business needs, and reaching agreement during workshops can take time. Change management is also challenging, as users often resist change and require additional communication and training to stabilize processes. If I could change one thing about Oracle CX Sales to make my workflow easier, it would be to simplify some of the configuration and customization projects. While Oracle CX Sales is very powerful, certain customizations and integrations can require advanced expertise, increasing implementation times and complexity. I would also simplify the user interface to enhance the experience for occasional users, as new users sometimes need additional training.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It was stable."
"We observe that after implementing Oracle CX Sales, there is approximately a 15% to 20% improvement in lead conversion, a 20% to 30% increase in sales, and around a 30% to 40% reduction in manual reporting effort."
"Account management is a very good feature, it is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account, and the data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"In my experience, the most valuable feature of Oracle CX Sales varies depending on the vertical of the business you're in. Oracle offers industry-specific products tailored to different sectors. However, the sales cycles and methods remain largely consistent across the board."
"The integration with other systems is easy."
"Oracle CX Sales has impacted my organization by improving visibility and better coordination across workflows."
"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"The main purpose of Oracle CX Sales is to calculate the ROI, and if you have a clear understanding of what is the best ROI per campaign, you are going to invest in the right place and avoid spending with zero or low ROI."
"It covers sales very well, covers 90% of the customer's needs, offers good WhatsApp and SMS integration, and is pretty straightforward to set up while being stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"One area of improvement is the UI and UX, which could be more upgraded."
"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."
"The tool must allow developers to check logs."
"The data import process has grown a little since earlier releases. In the recent releases (8 and above), this process has improved but not much."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"The address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"The initial setup of Oracle CX Sales is very complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"The price is reasonable."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."
"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."
"The product is pricey."
