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."

"It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."

"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."

"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 provides you an end-to-end offering but with heavy weight offerings."

"The solution is scalable."

"It is one of the most proficient CRM tools out there; it is comprehensive and scalable, and it covers most of the CRM activities, business lines, and business requirements."

"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."

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. 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."

"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."

"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

"I would like to remove all manual work and get the benefits of the function that Oracle provides without any manual interference or paperwork."

"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."

"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."

"Support: My Oracle Support service, enhancement, bug fix roadmap, and planning, quick and modern global cross-search is missing."

"This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable."

"The user interface and performance could be better."

"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."

"The support for this solution is not great. Our queries have taken a long time to be resolved so we no longer rely on Oracle support."

More Oracle CRM cons

"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."

"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."

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

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."

"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."

"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."

"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"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."

"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."

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."
