Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

Oracle Fusion Service and SugarCRM Platform compete in the CRM software category. Oracle Fusion holds an advantage due to its robust feature set and comprehensive customer interaction capabilities.

Features: Oracle Fusion Service offers a Knowledge Base, Smart Assistant, and omni-channel suite, providing a comprehensive service platform for enhanced customer interaction. SugarCRM Platform includes CRM functionalities like lead, account, and opportunity management, with customizable fields and dashboards, and supports open API integration.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Fusion Service requires better customization for B2B alignment, more intuitive navigation, improved integration with older platforms, and enhanced documentation. SugarCRM Platform needs to address its user interface and expand customization, improve system administration and reporting, and enhance support for on-premise implementations.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Fusion Service provides diverse deployment options with public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises capabilities, receiving satisfactory customer support but needing faster response times in certain regions. SugarCRM Platform also supports on-premises and public cloud deployment, with highly rated customer service despite some implementation challenges in specific verticals.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle Fusion Service is priced on the higher side, with costs tied to usage, presenting challenges for smaller companies. However, its ROI is positive due to efficiency gains. SugarCRM Platform offers budget-friendly licensing and customizable features at an additional cost, providing an attractive pricing structure and potential ROI.

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.

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.

"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."

"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."
