Helps business track their customers, sales leads, and opportunities
An area for improvement is the vendors' inability to understand the customers' requirements and communicate them to Oracle. When we started to implement the tool, and during the very initial phases of the product, when Oracle launched it, our company opted for it. We faced a few challenges related to the product speed associated with some functionalities that were not available when the tool was just launched, but later on, it became available, and right now, we are actually using it. The tool is fulfilling our requirements. There were no major hiccups or challenges due to the tool. The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future.
Srinivas Ganisetti - PeerSpot reviewer
Case management feature is valuable but the pricing is expensive
I would like to suggest the solution but it really depends on your specific requirements, your business use cases and future plans. There is a significant investment involved in this solution and therefore it is very crucial to reevaluate your future necessity including automation potential and modernization plans. I would suggest that you select any kind of solution and explore alternatives of similar functionalities at a lower cost. This might help you to achieve more with less. In my experience, I would rate it between seven to eight because it offers robust capabilities. But please be aware that other BPM tools are emerging with similar features at a lower cost. Pega CRM is perceived as bulk care compared to order tools, as many of its capabilities are potentially underutilized. I would rate it 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"Oracle CRM integrates seamlessly because it's an end-to-end solution."
"It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."
"The solution is scalable."
"Oracle CRM helped us better understand the customer journey."
"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."
"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."
"Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."
"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."
"One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach."
"The case management feature is really valuable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."
 

Cons

"The user interface and performance could be better."
"The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori."
"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"The interface could be more user friendly. It is currently not intuitive, and it can be better. The onboarding process for the end users of this solution could be easier, and there should be a few more things for user knowledge and training. It takes a lot of technical knowledge to get used to it."
"In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"
"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."
"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."
"For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases."
"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."
"The UI should be improved."
"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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 cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"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."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."
"It is expensive."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"We have numerous uses of the solution in our organisation. Almost 72 applications are integrated with Pega CRM, and some of them are shutting down for various reasons including the high licensing costs. There is a strong focus in the market and offices on cost reduction."
