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.
MARIA PILAR CANDA - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved customer service and post-sales support saves time
The solution could be more affordable as it's quite expensive for some organizations, particularly middle-sized companies. Additionally, finding technical talent for improving the solution is challenging. Configuring Flows in Salesforce Service Cloud is very difficult. There are very few technical people in the market capable of implementing all the flows that clients need at this moment. It's primarily a matter of talent limitation, and flow is the technical mechanism of Salesforce Service Cloud for process automation. In general, while they have the knowledge and help solve problems, finding the right person to address specific issues is very challenging.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"The solution integrates well."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"Oracle CX Sales is workflow-driven, aligning with best practices in our sales process."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"The integration with other systems is easy."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"The solution is a great product. It's hosted on a platform that offers various features, such as email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots. You can connect with customers through any of these channels."
"With Salesforce Service Cloud, customers can have end-to-end visibility from inquiry to delivery."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the traceability of actions."
"The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians."
"It integrates with all our platforms, providing a comprehensive view of the customer."
"Salesforce Service Cloud improved our organization with its mobile capabilities."
"In terms of visibility to my boss and the team, it does help a lot."
"It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ."
 

Cons

"Support is very poor."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"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."
"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."
"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 address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."
"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"The solution's integration with the main ERP is a little cumbersome."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and enhanced."
"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map."
"Reporting could be improved."
"One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention."
"The integrations with other solutions can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"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 solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"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."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
"The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
"Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
