Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.

Excellent user experience with ease of use and reliable technical support
When SAP CRM does the maintenance, it can take a long time, which can impact business continuity because we have to wait for the maintenance team to finish their work. Maybe if SAP could establish how you can access the tool using a cloud-based environment that would be virtualization, that would be better.
Trini Olivan - PeerSpot reviewer
It's good at visualizing large amounts of data
You need to buy connectors to integrate Marketing Automation with various suppliers. For example, if I want to see the data through Power BI, I need a connector to see the data directly. Otherwise, you need to do everything manually. You have to download information from SAS and then save a text file, and then I can import it into Power BI. I would like Marketing Automation to have this native functionality without the need to pay more for connectors.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"Previously, my clients used a smaller ERP system, not a major one. However, they have now transitioned to Oracle, which provides them with a more extensive range of options. Unlike before, it's now an integrated system that covers various aspects, including finance, supply chain management, and other functionalities."
"Oracle Fusion's scalability and flexibility are its most valuable features."
"The solution changes the way clients work to make it easier and faster."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"The solution is easy to use."
"From the bank perspective, it's user-friendly and simple to develop something specific for a certain customer. It allows customization for individual customers rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach."
"The user interface is excellent."
"The platform is highly scalable."
"SAP CRM is very fast, providing accurate information and good results."
"SAP CRM is a scalable solution."
"We like that this solution has made our whole accounting function paperless."
"SAP is very easy to use."
"You can enable it for business users or marketing users to use it in a self-service way. So, the technical team is needed to build the features or processes, and then those processes can be used in a self-service way by your non-technical users."
"SAP Marketing Automation is user-friendly. The interface is nice and clear. You can see the different diagrams and define various filters and targets. You can also export the customer information you collect to make the campaign. It's easy to understand how this information is entered. There are also a lot of platforms that show the results of campaigns. You can customize your data and define different reports, but SAS also provides a standard report."
 

Cons

"Oracle changed the means by which users are created in the system. I would like this to be easier to implement."
"I would like to see more AI usage, enhanced personalization capabilities, and simpler integration capabilities."
"The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) need significant improvement, especially in the older on-premises versions."
"When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve."
"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"Oracle counts users for licensing purposes, regardless of their roles or usage patterns. This process could be better."
"The dependency on the dollar makes these products more costly during disruptions in currency parity, especially in countries like Pakistan."
"The vendor must provide a user-friendly mobile application."
"What I see as a challenge against our competitor is that Salesforce comes with more flexibility, for enhancement purposes, whereas the SAP CRM Cloud is more robust and rigid. It's not flexible to implement any bespoke solution."
"The product is very expensive."
"The integration of SAP CRM with the SAP platform is relatively easier as compared to any other third-party product. If you go for any other third-party product, you will have a lot of challenges in terms of integration."
"SAP CRM could improve by making the solution more current, it is out of date. There are no more updates for SAP CRM."
"SAP CRM could improve by being easier to use and customer-friendly."
"The solution is expensive."
"It can be a bit more user friendly, to be honest. Sometimes there are too many apps options. It should offer better UX (user experience) to make it easier to navigate and easier to use."
"CRM is costlier than its competitors."
"The product is highly customizable, but the marketing and business teams want a lot of things to be built out of the box. A lot of features that could be out of the box aren't there. The main concern is to keep the system in such a way that it provides you with some out-of-the-box features and some customizable features as well."
"You need to buy connectors to integrate Marketing Automation with various suppliers. For example, if I want to see the data through Power BI, I need a connector to see the data directly. Otherwise, you need to do everything manually. You have to download information from SAS and then save a text file, and then I can import it into Power BI. I would like Marketing Automation to have this native functionality without the need to pay more for connectors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"The product has average pricing."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."
"Its price is reasonable. As compared to other CRMs, this CRM is competitively priced. They have multiple flavors with different sets of functionality. Pricing is based on the flavor that suits your requirement. If you have more users, the cost will come down."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"SAP CRM offers a free trial for anyone wanting to test the product before purchasing it."
"SAP CRM is not suitable for smaller businesses because it is expensive. The larger businesses would be able to handle the cost."
"As for the product licensing, we pay an annual fee. It's important to consider setup costs and licensing based on your organization's budget and needs."
"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."
"I'm not aware of the full cost. The financials are not with me. In terms of additional costs, there are always OpEx and CapEx. That's one way to look at it. You also need separate hardware to deploy the product."
