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

"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"I find the reporting features impactful."
"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."
"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."
"It is one of the most proficient CRM tools out there. It is comprehensive and scalable. It covers most of the CRM activities, business lines, and business requirements."
"Oracle CRM helped us better understand the customer journey."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"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."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"The performance could be better."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"Getting technical support from Oracle involved going through commercial layers, which could sometimes cause delays. The attention received depended on the client's status and spending with Oracle. Clients with significant spending received global attention and a corporate account manager, while those with lower spending had to work with a local account manager, which wasn't always beneficial. This process could lead to delays in getting technical issues resolved. I am not satisfied with its support."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"The licensing is expensive."
"Customization is an area in the solution that takes too much time. So, it needs to be improved."
"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."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"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."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
