Abhishek Sahoo - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Writer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Unified journeys have boosted personalization and collaboration but advanced analytics still need work
I would like to highlight some information that could make Iterable even better, which I discovered during my tenure with Iterable. For example, more out-of-the-box advanced analytics and attribution views would strengthen its appeal to users. Second, additional guided templates for complex lifecycle journeys would be beneficial to avoid overwhelming users with too much complexity or tactics. Lastly, continued investment in performance optimizations for large-scale workflows is essential. It is crucial to focus on mid to large organization scales and serious lifecycle marketing personalization for customer engagement. If these points are addressed, it could help many users like me and others look forward to a better platform. Iterable challenges I have faced include a steep learning curve for advanced use cases; basic campaigns are easy to launch, but advanced and personalized campaigns or event-based logic take considerable time, which is a challenge for new users. Another challenge is reporting and analytics at a deeper level; while the reporting is good, deeper analysis often necessitates exporting data or integrating with BI tools. Lastly, I have noticed that UI performance can lag with very complex journeys, especially in highly branched workflows, leading to a heavy interface that can slow down the loading times.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Iterable allows us to trigger SMS messages through Twilio based on real-time user events such as abandoned actions, incomplete transactions, account or subscription changes, inactivity or re-engagement milestones."
"Iterable has positively impacted my organization by helping us market our services and reach out to a larger number of clients, which helps us improve our services and understand how large our customer base is."
"Iterable has positively impacted my organization, as it enhanced campaign execution speed, increased engagement and conversion rates through personalization, reduced our dependency on engineering for routine campaign changes, and improved collaboration between marketing and technical teams."
"Iterable saves our time and has better customer relationship benefits, making a very good relationship with our customers because once we have already created the workflow, client communication has been automatically done and our work, work pressure, and work stress have been reduced, creating a very good impact on a better work environment."
"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"The forecasting reporting section was the most useful."
"The most important feature is the ability to assign a plan using the manual close function."
"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."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is user-friendly and the fact that the database handling is much better, like any other Oracle solution."
 

Cons

"Iterable challenges I have faced include a steep learning curve for advanced use cases; basic campaigns are easy to launch, but advanced and personalized campaigns or event-based logic take considerable time, which is a challenge for new users."
"Although the platform is powerful, advanced use cases require a learning curve and deeper analytics and performance optimization at scale could further enhance its value."
"Oracle CRM should improve in terms of AI capabilities and user interface design."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"The performance could be better."
"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."
"Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The data visualization should be better in Oracle CRM."
"The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"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."
"Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
