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.

Architect at a consultancy with 501-1,000 employees
Documentation and API integration have room for improvement. We eventually switched to Zendesk and are much happier.
Help Desk functionality such as ticket tracking, hosting knowledge base, ticket routing, social media integration, API. But only if they work as advertised, which they do not necessarily. Yes, we learned to be more careful about selecting products and we ended up using a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market."
"It is very simple."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a stable solution."
"Customer service and support I rate ten out of ten."
"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."
"We eventually switched to Zendesk and are much happier with it."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"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."
"Oracle CRM should improve in terms of AI capabilities and user interface design."
"Customization is an area in the solution that takes too much time. So, it needs to be improved."
"The product support, sharing the integration standards with major products or solutions and also for custom ones which am sure that will be a challenge for Oracle itself, support for REST out of the box will be required."
"It's not perfect with technical support from Oracle CRM, which is why we have managed services because it's far easier to get our issues addressed than going through tech support."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"My experience with Oracle when it comes to price negotiation was very bad."
"In a nutshell, don't."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"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."
"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"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."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
