I wouldn't say you go to Salesforce Sales Cloud for their customer support unless you purchase one of their premier plans, which is additional money.

The biggest friction point with Oracle CX Sales is that sometimes it goes down.

Room For Improvement

Oracle CRM needs improved microservices, updated UI, reduced costs, better integration, and enhanced support to compete with Salesforce.
Oracle CX Sales needs UI/UX improvements, better integration, enhanced AI, and increased customization, addressing performance and support concerns.
Salesforce Sales Cloud struggles with integration, high costs, and usability; users desire better mobile, reporting, and AI features.
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
When a client asks for any support, they're often in real trouble and need a prompt response.
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.
The biggest friction point or frustration I encountered with Oracle CX Sales is the complexity at times, especially when navigating deeper workflows or trying to customize reports and processes.
Ai/Data Analyst at CSD
If I could change one thing about Oracle CX Sales, it would be to remove the five-minute data delay so we could get real-time data by the second.
Chief Financial Officer at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
The biggest friction point I have encountered with Oracle CX Sales has been user adoption, as sales teams are accustomed to using separate sheets, emails, or legacy CRMs, making it difficult to run and maintain data consistency.
Talent Acquisition Trainee at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees
If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot
Compared to AWS, it is slower, which could be a hindrance.
AWS Cloud Engineer at Accenture
With today's generative AI capabilities like ChatGPT, it should be possible to directly communicate with the software rather than navigating through the entire system manually.
Chief Digital Officer at Cipher7
 

Setup Cost

Oracle CRM's scalable, subscription-based pricing is costly but offers flexibility and comprehensive support for large enterprises.
Oracle CX Sales offers tiered pricing with strong features, but it's pricier than some competitors like Salesforce.
Salesforce Sales Cloud is costly, but negotiating can secure discounts; value justifies pricing, challenging affordability for smaller businesses.
Without negotiation, costs can become expensive.
Chief Digital Officer at Cipher7
This happened for the first time because of the new CEO, Arundhati, who revolutionized pricing strategies, allowing discounts of 60-70% for Salesforce Sales Cloud in India.
Founder and Salesforce Consultant at SaaSnic
Salesforce Sales Cloud is extremely expensive.
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot

Oracle CX Sales enhances sales processes with customizable tools, analytics, and seamless integration for improved decision-making and communication.
Salesforce Sales Cloud enhances productivity with customizability, automation, integration, data analytics, and efficient communication for optimal sales management.
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
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

Its easy-to-navigate interface aids in delivering clear vision and organization, especially for sales and business management.

Featured Reviews

reviewer2758776 - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
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.

Integrated customer data has improved visibility and supports data driven sales decisions
The biggest friction point I have encountered with Oracle CX Sales has been user adoption, as sales teams are accustomed to using separate sheets, emails, or legacy CRMs, making it difficult to run and maintain data consistency. Data migration issues arise when customer data comes from multiple systems, leading to duplicates, incomplete, or inconsistent records that need to be cleaned. Additionally, the integration complexity of connecting with ERP, marketing, and other enterprise applications requires ensuring real-time synchronization, addressing varying business needs, and reaching agreement during workshops can take time. Change management is also challenging, as users often resist change and require additional communication and training to stabilize processes. If I could change one thing about Oracle CX Sales to make my workflow easier, it would be to simplify some of the configuration and customization projects. While Oracle CX Sales is very powerful, certain customizations and integrations can require advanced expertise, increasing implementation times and complexity. I would also simplify the user interface to enhance the experience for occasional users, as new users sometimes need additional training.

Uses data-driven insights to improve workflows and highlights a need for simpler automation tools
Salesforce Sales Cloud can be improved in several areas. First, the UI is an area for enhancement. Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds. It also needs to be made extremely more user-friendly. For new people using Salesforce Sales Cloud, there is a steep learning curve. Additionally, giving non-admins the ability to make changes on the fly is something that I feel is necessary. Currently with Salesforce Sales Cloud, you need to have a consultant. It's hard to build the flows or workflows. Making it easier for that end-user who's not so technically minded to help themselves is essential. I choose seven out of ten because I think you need a consultant or a consulting company to help you build it out. Certain changes should be made much easier and more user-friendly where an admin can do it. The automation processes need to be much simpler. If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.
