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.

Highly customizable but should have more out-of-the-box features
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. An example would be stratification or stratified sampling of customers. It's something that is not part of the product. It's something I have built using this product. If something like this is available out of the box as part of the product, you don't have to particularly manage that. For the outbound campaigns, there should be dynamic offer or treatment assignments.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market."
"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."
"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."
"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
"The wing-to-wing integration of applications is one of the most strong features of Oracle CRM."
"Oracle CRM is very, very stable, one of the most stable products I've used in my career, and doesn't require much maintenance."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product is not intuitive."
"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."
"The performance could be better. It has sometimes taken far too long to complete a single task."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"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."
"The product support, sharing the integration standards with major products or solutions and also for custom ones which am sure that will be a challenge for Oracle itself, support for REST out of the box will be required."
"The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"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

"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."
"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."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"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 manageable and flexible."
"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."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"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."
"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."
