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.

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:

"It covers sales very well."

"The solution integrates well."

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

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

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

"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."

"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."

"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."

More Oracle CX Sales pros

"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 solution has the ability to run reports on the pipeline and understand the likelihood of the sales. The analytics tools are very good."

"It is a one-stop shop for running anything related to sales. You can do a lot of things."

"You can adapt Salesforce for all customer needs."

"The ability to work on it from anywhere is most valuable. All you need is a computer, a browser, and an internet connection to access your instance. It can be accessed from anywhere, which is pretty cool and user-friendly."

"This solution offers a good user experience. It is easy to learn and use, even for those who are using it for the first time."

"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."

"I can see activity per customer. I can find out quickly and easily who was the last person I talked to, when it was, and what we were talking about."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud pros

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."

"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."

"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."

"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 Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."

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."

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

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

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

"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."

"The tool must allow developers to check logs."

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

"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."

More Oracle CX Sales cons

"The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful."

"One consistent comment about the product internally is that it has a steep learning curve, especially for some sales executives. Simplifying the interface would be a big leap forward. Like a chatbot, fewer clicks and more direct AI interaction could help. A simplified interface with AI support would make things much easier. We need an AI feature like ChatGPT that helps us to hold conversations."

"My age-old complaint with Salesforce Sales Cloud is that it has to be refreshed because it's a cloud-based system. If you make any updates, you have to refresh and save because you're fundamentally looking at what's running in the cloud. It can be slow since you constantly refresh and save the screen. If you were running a local application, like a local CRM system, as you input anything, it would be more seamless."

"Salesforce must build some connectors and features to make integrations easier."

"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."

"Salesforce could improve its response speed. Compared to AWS, it is slower, which could be a hindrance."

"The licensing price could be cheaper."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."

"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."

"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The product is pricey."

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

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

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

"The price is reasonable."

"The licensing fees are reasonable."

"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 price of the product is very high. I rate the product price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means expensive."

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

"There is a license required to use this solution and the price is expensive. It could be reduced."

"The price is fair."

"We must pay for the licenses."

"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
