Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is completely cloud-based and very easy to access from anywhere.""The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules.""The service management features are valuable.""Oracle Cloud Services integrates well. It has lots of APIs to integrate with other solutions, like the PBX we use from Cisco. The ability to integrate Siebel data with Cisco PBX was nice.""It has provided a faster turnaround time. We were able to automate a number of transactional tasks and return that extra time to taking care of customers.""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.""It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes.""Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."

"You can adapt Salesforce for all customer needs.""The reporting features are useful.""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.""It is a very stable solution.""Salesforce is a very powerful tool which helps us to build that through tools like Process Builder or Flows, or even write code to achieve these scenarios.""Salesforce helps up keep track of candidates.""It is a good platform that shows consolidation of information for our customer base.""The company wants to implement the idea of democracy within IT. As an end user, you can do a lot by yourself, so you do not have to write code. The idea is that they go for low-code and they use flow. It's possible to update records and do things like automation without writing real codes. I think this is one of the advantages of the solution."

Cons
"Oracle changed the means by which users are created in the system. I would like this to be easier to implement.""The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly.""Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms.""The product must provide modules for operations management.""We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product.""The vendor must provide a user-friendly mobile application.""Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise.""Oracle Fusion Service needs to improve its documentation part because we do not have proper documentation."

More Oracle Fusion Service Cons →

"With the solution being very vast, they need to prioritize features.""Sales Cloud could be improved with more training. In general, the training is very good, but you have to really seek out some good options in order to upskill yourself. Another thing, which could also be a benefit, is that Sales is very customizable. If you move from one organization to another, you can see your Salesforce as before, but their Sales Cloud may look completely different from what you're used to. It's not like Microsoft Excel or Trello, where the layout and all the functions are the same. Because it's so customizable, I feel like there is a bit of a learning curve when you inherit another Sales Cloud instance. To be honest, I think that's the beauty of Salesforce because you can customize it so much to fit your needs as a company. It follows your processes and use cases in order for you to get the most out of the system itself.""The solution's design could be improved.""One aspect I find challenging with Salesforce Sales Cloud is its forecasting feature. While it's useful for analyzing sales data and predicting future revenue, I've encountered instances where the outcomes weren't as perfect as expected.""The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful.""It could have a more user-friendly interface.""One area where the solution could improve is with handling feature requests.""The solution can be difficult to understand for customers of Salesforce."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
  • "Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
  • "Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
  • "Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
  • "There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
  • "The product has average pricing."
  • "Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
  • "The tool is reasonably priced."
  • More Oracle Fusion Service Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The subscription is on a monthly basis."
  • "The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
  • "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."
  • "I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
  • "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."
  • "My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
  • "Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
  • "Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
