Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 27, 2025

Salesforce Sales Cloud and Oracle CX Sales compete in the CRM market, each offering unique advantages. Salesforce shines with its extensive ecosystem and flexibility, while Oracle CX stands out with industry-specific solutions and robust sales coverage.

Features: Salesforce Sales Cloud boasts high customizability, smooth integration across various platforms, and a vast ecosystem that offers significant flexibility. Oracle CX Sales excels in robust sales coverage, offers straightforward integration with social media and messaging apps, and provides comprehensive management from lead generation to post-sales processes.

Room for Improvement: Salesforce faces challenges with complexity, high pricing, integration, and reporting difficulties. Users desire improved reporting and lower costs. Oracle CX Sales needs interface enhancements, better mobile support, and advanced AI features. Its users seek a more refined user interface.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both Salesforce and Oracle CX offer deployment on public, private, and hybrid clouds. Salesforce is praised for its community and extensive resources, though some users report slow support without higher-tier services. Oracle CX provides satisfactory support, but consistency can vary with subscription level.

Pricing and ROI: Salesforce Sales Cloud is considered expensive due to custom feature costs and high licensing fees but delivers significant ROI with optimal implementation. Oracle CX Sales is competitively priced for standard implementations, though customization costs can add up. Both solutions offer meaningful returns, yet Salesforce's alignment with business needs may amplify perceived cost benefits despite higher expenses.

Offers the capability to customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything

The best thing is we can customize it. For example, there are some standard procedures in CRM, the opportunity that is standard. Other than that, we can create customized software on a business-to-business basis. So, if I don't want to follow any standard upgrade of CRM, I can customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything. I can make my own CRM. The analytics in Oracle CX Sales are good. We can use ODA (Oracle Digital Assistant) to track data. There are some out-of-the-box reports for things like currency exchange data or product lists. These features are there by default. If you need to create new custom reports, it's possible to do so. They've been lagging behind the visual builder recently, but the product has improved.

Experience exceptional project enhancements and seamless automation integration

Salesforce Sales Cloud itself is a wonderful solution, and there are two different versions: Lightning and classic. The Lightning version is a new generation version compatible with any mobile device, whether it's a phone, iPad, or any size of screen. The reporting and analytics functionalities, especially with the Einstein feature, are wonderful because it allows for analysis of data regarding your opportunity pipeline, giving insight into how long it will take to close deals. This gives a great understanding of running different levels of campaigns and defining smart workflows, where if one task is done, the other task can automatically get created and assigned to different team members. This flexibility is a key benefit of Salesforce Sales Cloud. Lead management is a great feature in Salesforce Sales Cloud because if you go for enterprise and above licenses, you can define different record types. For example, if one company is into two different businesses such as real estate and car reselling, both being opposite, this can be defined in Salesforce Sales Cloud, allowing for different workflows, fields, and mechanisms that do not affect each other's operations. The predictive insight feature known as forecasting is a very old feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud, giving predictions based on your pipeline and previous opportunity closings. The new Einstein analytics feature is more advanced and is enabled with AI, providing better forecasting based on your current pipeline. Salesforce Sales Cloud is working smartly with AI to help close more deals based on opportunity stages, trends, and industries, advising on the steps to take next. Lead generation is the most important thing because every sale starts from the lead. At the lead level, different stages and resources can be defined. You can capture leads from various resources, with Salesforce Sales Cloud offering a web-to-lead feature and integrations with LinkedIn to fetch data. Once a lead is qualified and converted into opportunities, there are stages with percentages, and workflows can help in easily closing deals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."

"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."

"Oracle CX Sales is workflow-driven, aligning with best practices in our sales process."

"The integration with other systems is easy."

"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."

"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."

"It covers sales very well."

"Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout."

More Oracle CX Sales pros

"I would recommend Sales Cloud for anyone who has a sales team that needs to be optimized and for any size of enterprise."

"The reporting is easy and helpful."

"The tracking and monitoring of daily activities within each account is the most valuable aspect of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It allows for staying informed about ongoing activities, ensuring comprehensive visibility into the progress made within each account on a regular basis. Additionally, the plugins that are available, such as ZoolInfo are useful."

"We can also customize Salesforce Sales Cloud to our customer's company requirements. As for your demand, you can customize it. There are so many configurations we can do with the application. There is a lot of functionality that you can implement. It's an easy-to-use, user-friendly, and secure platform."

"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud is for teams the ability to do marketing on our page and to manage their marketing leads. You are able to close a deal and do the renewal. For the life cycle management for customer management, we use Salesforce Sales Cloud. The performance of the solution is good."

"The most valuable features are the reporting and the custom codes."

"It has custom fields and custom reports which can align to our business objectives and marketing focus."

"The reporting features are useful."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud pros

Cons

"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."

"Support is very poor."

"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."

"The tool must allow developers to check logs."

"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."

"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."

"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."

"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."

More Oracle CX Sales cons

"When importing from other apps, it gets messy."

"Sometimes they refresh the production environment, which can be a bit of a challenge."

"There are things that could be improved with respect to file sharing. There is a limited file size."

"It's a very broad tool."

"The solution can be difficult to understand for customers of Salesforce."

"Sales Cloud could be improved with more training. In general, the training is very good, but you have to really seek out some good options in order to upskill yourself. Another thing, which could also be a benefit, is that Sales is very customizable. If you move from one organization to another, you can see your Salesforce as before, but their Sales Cloud may look completely different from what you're used to. It's not like Microsoft Excel or Trello, where the layout and all the functions are the same. Because it's so customizable, I feel like there is a bit of a learning curve when you inherit another Sales Cloud instance. To be honest, I think that's the beauty of Salesforce because you can customize it so much to fit your needs as a company. It follows your processes and use cases in order for you to get the most out of the system itself."

"The user interface could be better in Salesforce Sales Cloud because it feels a little heavy."

"I think the user experience could be improved. I would like the user interface to be a bit more user-friendly and modern."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."

"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."

"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."

"It's expensive, but worth the money."

"The price is reasonable."

"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."

"The product is pricey."

"Salesforce Sales Cloud is an expensive solution."

"You need to pay for the license per user per month. For example, you need to pay $100 per user. If you have 200 users using your Salesforce, that would be multiplied by a hundred, that's $20,000 per month and a quarter million per year."

"The subscription is on a monthly basis."

"I've seen the prices for Salesforce Sales Cloud, but I haven't been the one to handle the money. As someone who's only visually looked at the price, I would imagine it's on the pricier side, but they do have a ton of leverage, and seeing that everyone I've worked for has always been dedicated to continuing Salesforce. I've never worked for anyone who has threatened to leave. Everyone has accepted the pricing for what they offer."

"It is alright for now because we ended up getting a discount off the base price. So, for now, it is okay. We may have to renegotiate when we get more users, and I don't know if the price would stay the same or increase. It has just a standard licensing fee. If you end up hiring a consultant for implementation, you will have to pay for the implementation. Other than that, there are no additional fees."

"The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."

"The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."

"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
