Information Security Executive at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.
IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
 

Room For Improvement

IFS Cloud users find documentation unclear, tools inflexible, integration challenging, support lacking, and pricing high, hindering performance and usability.
Oracle CRM needs improved microservices, updated UI, reduced costs, better integration, and enhanced support to compete with Salesforce.
It would be useful if the platform could identify bottlenecks, predict capacity management issues, and recommend specific actions to users before operations are impacted.
Cloud Operations Engineer
There is not much available online, and the documentation availability is on the lower side compared to other products, especially Maximo.
Senior Director at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.
Consultant at Arcwide
It could be improved with better quality for response time and empathy with the client's operations.
IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Reporting is really bad.
Biz Opd Esd Strategist At Broadcom Inc. at Broadcom Inc.
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.
Information Security Executive at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

IFS Cloud Platform offers competitive user-based pricing with negotiable discounts, though potentially costly for smaller businesses requiring multiple modules.
Oracle CRM's scalable, subscription-based pricing is costly but offers flexibility and comprehensive support for large enterprises.
 

Valuable Features

Oracle CRM provides customizable, scalable solutions with seamless integration, enhanced reporting, and comprehensive customer data management for efficient business operations.
IFS Cloud Platform has impacted my organization by allowing our team to spend less time reconciling data and more time executing business operations.
Cloud Operations Engineer
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.
Consultant at Arcwide
There are fewer fields on the user screen compared to other products.
Senior Director at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
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
Our sales team uses all those analytics for identifying customer trends, reviewing the geography, the territorial data, and the pain points of the customer, and from there, they draw conclusions and inferences regarding which areas to improve and how to take things to the market.
Head Of IT Operations at fatima group
Currently it's meeting all our needs, hence the migration about six months ago that we moved from on-premise to OCI, to the cloud-based platform to add additional capacity and analytics.
Information Security Executive at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees

Cloud Operations Engineer
Integrated planning has improved production scheduling and now reduces downtime and costs
The biggest friction point I have run into with IFS Cloud Platform is user adoption, which has been the biggest challenge, as different users in the organization need to get accustomed to the new processes after years of using spreadsheets and legacy systems, requiring training and a mindset shift, along with challenging data migration and process standardization. My advice to someone considering IFS Cloud Platform with a similar workflow is to spend sufficient time understanding and standardizing their business processes before implementing it, as the technology is very powerful, but the real value comes when processes, data, and teams are all aligned. I would rate my overall experience with IFS Cloud Platform as a 9 out of 10.

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.
