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.

It's good at visualizing large amounts of data

You need to buy connectors to integrate Marketing Automation with various suppliers. For example, if I want to see the data through Power BI, I need a connector to see the data directly. Otherwise, you need to do everything manually. You have to download information from SAS and then save a text file, and then I can import it into Power BI. I would like Marketing Automation to have this native functionality without the need to pay more for connectors.

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 features of the solution are that it is user-friendly and the fact that the database handling is much better, like any other Oracle solution."

"My advice to others is they should use the solution, it is priced well and Oracle is a good company."

"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."

"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."

"I see operational cost reductions after the implementation of Oracle CRM."

"The reporting features are valuable."

"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."

"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features, plus there are regular updates."

More Oracle CRM pros

"SAP Marketing Automation is user-friendly, the interface is nice and clear, you can see the different diagrams and define various filters and targets, export the customer information you collect to make the campaign, and customize your data and define different reports while SAS also provides a standard report."

"SAP Marketing Automation is user-friendly. The interface is nice and clear. You can see the different diagrams and define various filters and targets. You can also export the customer information you collect to make the campaign. It's easy to understand how this information is entered. There are also a lot of platforms that show the results of campaigns. You can customize your data and define different reports, but SAS also provides a standard report."

"You can enable it for business users or marketing users to use it in a self-service way. So, the technical team is needed to build the features or processes, and then those processes can be used in a self-service way by your non-technical users."

Cons

"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."

"The interface could be more user friendly. It is currently not intuitive, and it can be better. The onboarding process for the end users of this solution could be easier, and there should be a few more things for user knowledge and training. It takes a lot of technical knowledge to get used to it."

"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."

"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."

"It’s complex to customize the tool."

"The configuration requires a lot of technical intervention."

"The one thing that I hate about it is when you pay for services for a certain amount of time, the service ends just before it should be over."

"The product is not intuitive."

More Oracle CRM cons

"You need to buy connectors to integrate Marketing Automation with various suppliers."

"You need to buy connectors to integrate Marketing Automation with various suppliers. For example, if I want to see the data through Power BI, I need a connector to see the data directly. Otherwise, you need to do everything manually. You have to download information from SAS and then save a text file, and then I can import it into Power BI. I would like Marketing Automation to have this native functionality without the need to pay more for connectors."

"The product is highly customizable, but the marketing and business teams want a lot of things to be built out of the box. A lot of features that could be out of the box aren't there. The main concern is to keep the system in such a way that it provides you with some out-of-the-box features and some customizable features as well."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."

"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."

"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."

"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."

"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."

"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."

"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."

More Oracle CRM pricing and cost advice

"I'm not aware of the full cost. The financials are not with me. In terms of additional costs, there are always OpEx and CapEx. That's one way to look at it. You also need separate hardware to deploy the product."
