Cons
"The user interface and performance could be better.""Customization is an area in the solution that takes too much time. So, it needs to be improved.""We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system.""It’s complex to customize the tool.""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 have more integration with different platforms.""The product is complicated to use for new users.""I would like to remove all manual work and get the benefits of the function that Oracle provides without any manual interference or paperwork."

More Oracle CRM Cons →

"It should contain artificial intelligence, in my opinion.""Salesforce Marketing Cloud should be linked to an email ID, so the features after 15 days can update on the opportunity. You should not have to update them manually to the next step.""It's a very good solution, but the way the prices are structured is not always good, and I feel like that is a problem.""The product could use a little bit of BI in the sense of rule-based building.""The solution can have a better UI. Salesforce Marketing Cloud should consider making its solution more robust for error handling.""The dashboards should be more intuitive, as there are far too many items on them. You're not always sure what you're looking for.""When you use your iPhone or Android phone, Salesforce is not as user-friendly as it could be. That UX needs to be improved.""We'd like to see more integrations with third-party products."
