CRM has supported contract tracking and customer insight while reporting remains secondary
I use Oracle software internally. I'm also selling project management software, automation software, and network operation software within the company to our customers. The Oracle solutions I use include making quotes with CPQ, making Oracle engagement clouds, and a little bit of CRM system functionality. I'm not the owner of it. I'm only using it to have admin access for my customers here. I'm not involved with any decision on what we're using at Broadcom for Oracle. We did a certain type of adoption in Oracle. We made a certain object for it, and that works pretty well. The only thing is that customizing and making extra fields takes a little bit of a long time. However, if you do customize it, it works out well for that part.

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

"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."
"Oracle Connect as a feature within CRM is valuable for establishing and maintaining customer relationships, enabling users to see customer details and interact graphically with relationships."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."
"It has a wide variety of use cases."
"The reporting features are valuable."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"Customer service and support I rate ten out of ten."
"We eventually switched to Zendesk and are much happier with it."
 

Cons

"Our infrastructure is set up for an on-premises deployment of this solution and I am concerned that the online deployment that we are moving to will not perform as well as our current on-premises storage systems. It could cause some problems, such as latency delays."
"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The initial setup was quite complex in the beginning, and once it was done, it was quite difficult to manage."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"I think Oracle CRM could improve its user interface and user experience to make it more engaging. Currently, it has a more traditional enterprise look, but I believe it could benefit from more catchy and engaging colours and designs to better engage with users and stakeholders. While the capabilities might be there, the interface may not be very inviting for first-time users."
"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."
"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."
"In a nutshell, don't."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"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 licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"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."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"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."
