Featured Reviews

Omair Bokhari - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
GodfreyNoel - PeerSpot reviewer
Excellent user experience with ease of use and reliable technical support
When SAP CRM does the maintenance, it can take a long time, which can impact business continuity because we have to wait for the maintenance team to finish their work. Maybe if SAP could establish how you can access the tool using a cloud-based environment that would be virtualization, that would be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"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."
"It is very simple."
"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"Oracle CRM's best feature is its ability to customize as per specific organization's requirements."
"I find the reporting features impactful."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"The tool is easy to use."
"The stability is good."
"SAP CRM is very fast, providing accurate information and good results."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility to consolidate the products."
"The initial setup of SAP CRM was simple."
"Compared to other systems, SAP CRM has been reliable, stable, and cost-effective for us."
"The most valuable feature is lead management and integration."
"The flexibility to design the portal and customize it according to the needs of the clients is valuable. The integration with SAP ERP is also valuable."
 

Cons

"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
"I would like to see the UI improved ."
"The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future."
"Customization is an area in the solution that takes too much time. So, it needs to be improved."
"The data visualization should be better in Oracle CRM."
"The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"The product is not intuitive."
"Improvement is needed for SAP CRM's integration with Microsoft Teams and Outlook Its integration with Microsoft collaboration software, including Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint, is not very good. There are issues with synchronization between appointments in CRM and Outlook, as well as challenges with managing contacts, which creates problems."
"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"It can be a bit more user friendly, to be honest. Sometimes there are too many apps options. It should offer better UX (user experience) to make it easier to navigate and easier to use."
"It was not very stable. It was not a network problem because we were using tools that were not SAP. They were working well. But when I'm running the SAP, it's not working for us."
"The product is very expensive."
"In terms of stability, there are some latency issues."
"The solution is slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"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."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"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."
"From the maintenance perspective, SAP CRM is quite expensive compared to cloud services because the current solution they're using is managed by us and we are hosting it on servers. There is the cost of hosting, and managing servers and applications. The overhead is substantial, but this solution is a legacy system. It will take some time for the customer to migrate out of it."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."
"Its price is reasonable. As compared to other CRMs, this CRM is competitively priced. They have multiple flavors with different sets of functionality. Pricing is based on the flavor that suits your requirement. If you have more users, the cost will come down."
"Every user needs to have a license."
"The licensing model for SAP CRM is customer-based."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
