Styliana Araouzou - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable, easy to configure, and reliable
My company is considered a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using right now. It's a company that offers lots of user manuals and you can find most of your stuff there before starting development. I'd advise potential new users to go through everything. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team. It's a system that includes everything related to the client and you can see everything under one screen without having a different product or system. It's been great, for the most part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is straightforward to set up. There's no difficulty."
"I find the reporting features impactful."
"Oracle Connect as a feature within CRM is valuable for establishing and maintaining customer relationships, enabling users to see customer details and interact graphically with relationships."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"During the demos, Oracle CRM's natural language search feature stood out to me. It departs from the traditional menu-based options, making searches more intuitive. Another significant feature is their Common Data Platform. Including an accounting package as part of the full platform was also appealing."
"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."
"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"It has a wide variety of use cases."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
 

Cons

"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The user interface and performance could be better."
"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"The product is not intuitive."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"It’s complex to customize the tool."
"The licensing is expensive."
"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
