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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically enrich deals by connecting to APIs. This allows me to gather additional information about companies, number of employees, and data from the previous year. Having this information helps me understand the size of the company better and tailor my proposals accordingly."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"Oracle CRM is very, very stable, one of the most stable products I've used in my career, and doesn't require much maintenance."
"Oracle CRM integrates seamlessly because it's an end-to-end solution."
"I find the reporting features impactful."
"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."
"The case management feature is really valuable."
"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."
"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 solution is very easy to use."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."
"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"Customization is an area in the solution that takes too much time. So, it needs to be improved."
"The performance could be better."
"I would like to see the UI improved ."
"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"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."
"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 UI is lagging and needs to be improved."
"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."
"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."
"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."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"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 solution is expensive."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"It is expensive."
"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."
