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.

The product is stable, it has a lot of features, and the user interface is excellent
SAP C4C is very simple. We used it for a simple module, like lead and opportunity. The integration capabilities on the cloud are a bit rigid. It is not flexible. When people visit websites, we take the cookies, try to create leads and communicate with them. Organizations that want to buy the product must consider their return on investment and why they need SAP. They must consider why they cannot use any other product. If the business process is complex and we need good integration, we can choose SAP. The solution is complex for businesses where people place orders and make payments. We will have to integrate the solution with a data warehouse for the communication to go in and out. I rate the product a five out of ten for such a scenario. If an organization only does sales and marketing, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"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."
"In my experience, the most valuable feature of Oracle CX Sales varies depending on the vertical of the business you're in. Oracle offers industry-specific products tailored to different sectors. However, the sales cycles and methods remain largely consistent across the board."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"The solution integrates well."
"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are reporting and dashboards."
"The development cost, maintenance cost, everything will be drastically reduced - unlike traditional infrastructure where we maintain everything on our own."
"Salesforce is very user-friendly, which makes it effortless to track business management reports."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are code hub management and sale opportunity management."
"The most beneficial aspect of Salesforce Sales Cloud is my development life cycle will have been shortened."
"The dashboards and dashboard customization are great."
"It is an open the platform with API integration with other systems. Salesforce, it is not a software. It is very famous and available. When you are creating leads, generating leads, opportunities, it is wonderful in the reports as well. Dashboards are amazing."
"The user interface is excellent."
"We use SAP CRM for customer service improvement. The main idea is to make sure our team has the right information when talking to customers. This helps them process things like price approvals for quotes faster. The goal is to make the product more efficient, and faster, and, in the end, provide better customer service."
"The solution is stable."
"When we are using SAP CRM we receive more accurate results than using any other CRM system."
"The flexibility to design the portal and customize it according to the needs of the clients is valuable. The integration with SAP ERP is also valuable."
"SAP CRM integrates well with SAP ERP which is useful."
"SAP CRM's most valuable at a branch level."
"We are using the HANA Z database for CRM, which enhances the products we are currently using by making the system more efficient. Everything is connected to CRM, so we can use the data for analytics, sales forecasting, and data modeling."
 

Cons

"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"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."
"The tool must allow developers to check logs."
"Support is very poor."
"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."
"They should also include ATP and CTP functionality."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud needs a more user-friendly interface."
"I think the user experience could be improved. I would like the user interface to be a bit more user-friendly and modern."
"It might be easier if there were better integration with other sales systems or clouds that are not powered by Salesforce. For example, when we work with partners, such as Amazon or any other major tech company, sometimes we collaborate to develop a sales lead."
"One area where the solution could improve is with handling feature requests."
"Salesforce could improve its response speed."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration."
"Sales Cloud could improve in areas such as AI integration, particularly for templates."
"SAP CRM should create a more user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI)."
"We would like the coding system within this solution to be more straightforward when carrying out general entry tasks."
"They have recently updated their user interface but they should continue to improve upon it in the future. Additionally, overall performance or speed of response times could be better."
"SAP CRM could improve by making the solution more current, it is out of date. There are no more updates for SAP CRM."
"In the future, machine learning and artificial intelligence functionality need to be included."
"There is no scope for integration because SAP does not allow any personal integration."
"Our users are using it primarily from their laptop browser and very few are using it on their mobile because the mobile is not that user-friendly."
"It was not very stable. It was not a network problem because we were using tools that were not SAP. They were working well. But when I'm running the SAP, it's not working for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is pricey."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"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 price is reasonable."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"Not the cheapest"
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of users. It has a different pricing for 0-100 and another for 100-500 users."
"It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"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."
"We have a yearly license, and there are no hidden costs. Considering the Indian market, the pricing is reasonable. I don't consider it to be on the high side."
"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."
"We pay for the license yearly."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"From the maintenance perspective, SAP CRM is quite expensive compared to cloud services because the current solution they're using is managed by us and we are hosting it on servers. There is the cost of hosting, and managing servers and applications. The overhead is substantial, but this solution is a legacy system. It will take some time for the customer to migrate out of it."
"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is costly."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."
