Reliable solution for Enterprises’ ERP requirements
We are using the solution due to our global network, where one of our partners has successfully implemented it. They encouraged us to implement the same solution locally. The solution is particularly effective for ERP, covering aspects such as finance, accounting, and supply chain. It aligns well…

Helps to understand customer journey better
We use Oracle CRM for customer segmentation.  Oracle CRM helped us better understand the customer journey.  I like the tool's ability to handle lots of data. It is well documented and throws off errors in areas that you need to pay attention to.  Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
"The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."
"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."
"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."
"It is one of the most proficient CRM tools out there. It is comprehensive and scalable. It covers most of the CRM activities, business lines, and business requirements."
"It is a stable solution."
"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"Oracle CRM integrates seamlessly because it's an end-to-end solution."
"It has a wide variety of use cases."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
 

Cons

"Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product."
"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"Getting technical support from Oracle involved going through commercial layers, which could sometimes cause delays. The attention received depended on the client's status and spending with Oracle. Clients with significant spending received global attention and a corporate account manager, while those with lower spending had to work with a local account manager, which wasn't always beneficial. This process could lead to delays in getting technical issues resolved. I am not satisfied with its support."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
"Improvements could be made in automating certain tasks, such as automatically notifying me via email when a customer has signed off on a proposal. Some of these features require payment, but including them in the basic package for smaller companies would be beneficial."
"Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-effective solution."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
