Room For Improvement

Data Cloud needs improved customization, user interface, and better documentation to address integration and decision-making challenges.
Oracle CRM is criticized for its outdated interface, costly customization, slow performance, poor integration, and complex deployment.
It is a very good product, but it is very complex to implement, change, develop, and integrate.

They have very poor documentation on Data Cloud.

It could be improved with better quality for response time and empathy with the client's operations.

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.
IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
It is very much tied closely with sales forecasting, growth, the reporting and decision-making process.

Salesforce Data Cloud Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Unified customer insights have reduced redundant communications and improved campaign targeting
Every function in Data Cloud has its unique purpose, but Calculated Insight is one of the strongest functions that I believe is very useful. I can accomplish everything, including customization, using Calculated Insight. If a client uses Data Cloud, they can save time and most importantly, they can save budget because I generate the target audience for marketing campaigns using unification. Redundant email or communication never happens due to the unified profiles, which helps businesses save their marketing budget and indirectly increase revenue. That is one of the most important benefits. Technically, there are many benefits, but in terms of business revenue, that is the most crucial part.

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.
