Featured Reviews

Bharanidharan K - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly interface but needs enhancement in ticket tracking and response times
There is no room for improvement in Freshdesk. We can set a time period for particular employees as something that could be better. For example, if some new employees are unfamiliar with Freshdesk, it should be more user-friendly. They need to give shortcut keys to use the ticketing portal. If some users don't know how to generate a ticket, providing them with a help desk or tutorial portal would be useful for the end-user.

Offers the capability to customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything
The best thing is we can customize it. For example, there are some standard procedures in CRM, the opportunity that is standard. Other than that, we can create customized software on a business-to-business basis. So, if I don't want to follow any standard upgrade of CRM, I can customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything. I can make my own CRM. The analytics in Oracle CX Sales are good. We can use ODA (Oracle Digital Assistant) to track data. There are some out-of-the-box reports for things like currency exchange data or product lists. These features are there by default. If you need to create new custom reports, it's possible to do so. They've been lagging behind the visual builder recently, but the product has improved.

Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The organization that is possible with other departments is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"There is the option to create different roles for specific users. We make use of groups for each customer service team which has been very effective. We are able to apply different sets of rules for each group which determines how they interact with customers and escalate issues."
"Omnichannel is one of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The ticketing system is smooth, but since we use a free version, we do not have many facilities available."
"We have made use of the training academy and the technical support team from Freshdesk. Both have been very good resources."
"Freshdesk has allowed us to measure and track the response and resolution time of tickets which has been reduced from seven to eight hours down to 30 minutes to one hour."
"I used Freshdesk for communication with the clients, such as real-time chats."
"Freshdesk significantly improved our customer issue resolution process. We can now easily record and track all customer requests, ensuring that no tickets are lost."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"The solution integrates well."
"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"Oracle CX Sales is workflow-driven, aligning with best practices in our sales process."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"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."
"It supports various APIs and connectors, enabling seamless communication with other systems, including both Oracle products and third-party applications."
"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"The solution is completely cloud-based and very easy to access from anywhere."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"Previously, my clients used a smaller ERP system, not a major one. However, they have now transitioned to Oracle, which provides them with a more extensive range of options. Unlike before, it's now an integrated system that covers various aspects, including finance, supply chain management, and other functionalities."
"Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally."
"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"There is a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
 

Cons

"More automation would be beneficial, as it could greatly improve our efficiency and reduce manual tasks."
"The dashboards are useful but could be so much better. As a product manager, and data scientist, we couldn't use the dashboard for analytics and had to move the data in Power BI."
"There aren't any features that we want to enhance, but we need to mature in our usage of some of them. I can't say any feature is missing or needs improvement, but a tool's built-in features need to evolve customer feedback. We have a dialogue set up for that kind of feedback."
"While it's good for a small number of tickets, definitely in the future, we will require something more powerful."
"With the advancements in AI now, I will say Freshdesk should consider integrating more AI, but so far, I am satisfied with every single feature."
"The reporting, analysis modules and insights capabilities for this solution could be improved."
"Sometimes our requirements are not matched with Freshdesk's free version as most of the advanced features are not available to us."
"We have many cases where a ticket comes in, and it ends up having multiple team members working on it. It would be really nice to be able to assign a single ticket to multiple people, rather than having to create the parent-child hierarchy that they have set up. It generates a proliferation of tickets that I really don't want to have. Having to jump from a parent to one child and then to another child makes it harder for me to be able to see the entire case from end to end. A simple example is our new hire process or our termination process. We have people who leave. We also have people who come on board. We have got multiple people participating and doing things related to the leaving or onboarding process. Currently, I have to go to different tickets to be able to see whether all tasks are really done or not. If I could assign lots of people to one ticket, it would be really nice."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."
"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"The address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."
"Support is very poor."
"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."
"Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
"Oracle changed the means by which users are created in the system. I would like this to be easier to implement."
"We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product."
"Some features that require improvement include the location functionality and certain aspects of the CRM."
"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"The product's initial setup phase was very difficult."
"The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly."
"When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better, but it's okay. Compared to ServiceNow and JIRA, Freshworks offers a competitive price. There are also additional licensing costs because you need Microsoft Outlook. Each new email account costs around $15 to $19."
"Freshdesk was the best solution with the best price. It was cost efficient and included all the features that we needed."
"It is costly."
"We pay approximately $70 per agent to use Freshdesk. We have 10 agents, which is approximately $700 or $800 per month. It is a fixed license, there are not any additional fees."
"The pricing is pretty manageable and acceptable."
"The best system plan is enterprise. It costs basically 79 Euros per agent per month when it's billed annually and 95 Euros per agent per month when it's billed monthly."
"We use a combination of Freshdesk, Freshservice, and Freshchat. We use the whole suite. Weirdly enough, we pay more for Freshdesk than we do for Freshservice. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing. You can get different bundles, and you can always move to different plans that are standard. Freshservice can go anywhere from $19 up to $120 per agent, per month. There is such a wide range, and it is very customizable to your needs."
"We use a licensing model only so we pay for the number of agents we have configured in the system only."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"The product is pricey."
"The price is reasonable."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"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 pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"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."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"The product has average pricing."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
