Sentiment score
7.5
Oracle CRM is highly rated for stability, despite installation challenges and minor glitches that don't affect operations significantly.
Now, with the drastic developments especially in the cloud applications known as Arena on IFS Cloud Platform, it has improved tremendously.
We haven't really had any technical challenges with Oracle CRM.
Regarding the stability of Oracle CRM, nobody is facing any major issues in terms of infrastructure problems whether it is Oracle CRM, Salesforce, or SAP CRM; they are all the same, especially with cloud-based SaaS.
 

Room For Improvement

IFS Cloud Platform requires usability, integration, and support improvements, along with enhanced customization, AI, and simplified user experience.
Oracle CRM struggles with outdated UI, slow performance, integration issues, high costs, and inadequate support, needing significant enhancements.
They are working on IFS AI, but we have not explored much into that yet, and if they want to keep their competitive edge, that is an area they need to concentrate on.
There is not much available online, and the documentation availability is on the lower side compared to other products, especially Maximo.
It could be improved with better quality for response time and empathy with the client's operations.
It's already integrated into our environment, so moving to something else will require a massive investment and change in strategy that we as an organization are not prepared to embark on just yet.
The AI feature needs improvement.
 

Setup Cost

IFS Cloud Platform offers competitive pricing, best for large enterprises, with scalable value similar to SAP and Oracle.
Oracle CRM is costly, best for top-tier companies, with scalable pricing and possible discounts on long-term contracts.
 

Valuable Features

IFS Cloud Platform offers customizable pricing, robust integration, intuitive interface, and excels in enterprise management with adaptable features.
Oracle CRM offers customizable, cloud-based solutions with robust integrations, praised for stability, scalability, and comprehensive CRM functionalities.
The cloud feature in IFS Cloud Platform is predominantly valuable, especially the enterprise asset management module, which IFS has very good business into, along with strong finance, project management, and supply chain management modules.
There are fewer fields on the user screen compared to other products.
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 solution serves end-to-end customer relationship management which includes sales cloud, e-commerce cloud, and marketing cloud.
It is very much tied closely with sales forecasting, growth, the reporting and decision-making process.

Thangaraj Ramasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported project management and business customization through strong modular flexibility
The cloud feature in IFS Cloud Platform is predominantly valuable, especially the enterprise asset management module, which IFS has very good business into, along with strong finance, project management, and supply chain management modules; these are the major modules that are performing well with IFS, and the cloud options along with user-friendly customizations for any technical developments are additional advantages. The integration of IoT with IFS Cloud Platform is performing well, enabling us to integrate with predominantly any third party through the standard inbuilt connectors that are readily available, and if we need to customize the integration, we can certainly do that too.
