Customer support has improved significantly with seamless chat integration for quick resolutions
The feature we appreciate most about the Intercom Customer Communications Platform is the messenger functionality. We are able to integrate it into our application and provide support to customers directly through our application. The messenger works efficiently, allowing users to have conversations without entering their details repeatedly. There is conversation history available for each customer interaction, and they can access the help section within the chat itself. The Finn AI agent handles conversations both in chat and WhatsApp, which is particularly beneficial. Regarding automation tools, we have enabled the AI agent to answer customer queries instantly, reducing the need for constant staff presence. The AI agent quickly responds to customers and summarizes their issues, informing us when it cannot resolve a problem independently.

Workflow-driven processes enhance sales efficiency and analytical insights
Oracle CX Sales is workflow-driven, aligning with best practices in our sales process. The efficient workflow eliminates the need for multiple entries; data flows seamlessly from sales accounts to projects to quotes. The solution also offers robust analytical capabilities, enabling us to analyze reasons for wins or losses and strategically adjust our approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The live chat is pretty good because you can create a macro, which is a predefined input we can give customers."
"The feature we appreciate most about the Intercom Customer Communications Platform is the messenger functionality, allowing users to have conversations without entering their details repeatedly."
"With Zendesk, we have much more signals that we could use to understand better our client patterns."
"It covers sales very well."
"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"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 is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"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."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the solution lags and takes time to update something."
"The problem with Intercom Customer Communications Platform was a little bit of the implementation. It was complicated to use to actually get the automations and everything."
"It would be beneficial if there was a way to train the AI to better understand customer language."
"Support is very poor."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"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."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
