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.

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

"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
"The solution serves end-to-end customer relationship management which includes sales cloud, e-commerce cloud, and marketing cloud."
"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."
"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"The product is straightforward to set up. There's no difficulty."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is very simple."
"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."
"We eventually switched to Zendesk and are much happier with it."
 

Cons

"The licensing is expensive."
"This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable."
"The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori."
"Oracle CRM's technical support is not that great sometimes. It could be improved with better quality for response time and empathy with the client's operations."
"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."
"Improvements could be made in automating certain tasks, such as automatically notifying me via email when a customer has signed off on a proposal. Some of these features require payment, but including them in the basic package for smaller companies would be beneficial."
"The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"In a nutshell, don't."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"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 very high."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
