Oracle/Siebel CRM On Premise Solution generally caters to Organization  Sales, Marketing, Service, Social, Partner, Channels, Call Center, Loyalty and many more business functions. 

Though late entrant in the CRM Cloud space, Oracle already has introduced the next gen Cloud based CRM Solution as part of it's Oracle Customer Experience(CX) suite which is more modular, cloud based and tightly integrated with Customer Portal and Analytics business solutions. The core CRM functions are delivered through Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud CPQ Cloud, Commerce Cloud, Data Management Cloud, Engagement Cloud, Social Cloud and many more moduler but tightly integrated solutions.

Earlier On Premise Solution with features like Open UI, horizontal features: Service, call center, marketing, SFA, loyalty, dealer, robust real-time, batch integration tools, separate industry solutions for banking, finance, telecommunication, healthcare, retail, etc.

To add to the above On Premise Solution the new Oracle CX Solution comprising Sales, Service, Marketing, Loyalty, Data Management,  Social, Commerce  and  related Cloud Solutions come with a integrated framework and lesser integration cost/complexity. In addition it is modular and Customer can pick and choose, enables quick deployment and faster go to market and last but not the least less OPEX cost.

We implement for the customers and they were benefited by having a better 360-degree customer view, a reduced operation cost, an improved market spending and tracking its effectiveness, quick go-to-market, improved sales, SLA-based servicing etc.

Though late entrant in the Cloud  area for CRM area, Oracle introduced the next gen Cloud based CRM Solution as part of it's Oracle Customer Experience(CX) suite which is more modular, cloud based and tightly integrated with both it's Customer Portal Solutions and Analytics Business Solutions.  This is the future of Oracle CRM and it has addressed the gap earlier existed.

Sometimes, we encountered stability issues.

Sometimes, we encountered scalability issues but once the server, OS, network and database are properly configured the problem was less.

Technical support is very good.

It is not the most cost-effective on-premise solution but it is worth it. The Cloud version, Customer CX takes care of the user-based/transaction-based pricing.

We evaluated other solutions such as Amdocs Clarify, Oracle E-Business Suite SFDC CRM, etc.

It is a good product with broad functions and industry-specific coverages.

Our primary use case for this solution is securing databases.

The solution could be cheaper.

We have been using this solution for approximately three years and are currently using version 19.3.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

I rate customer service and support ten out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The licensing is expensive.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good, but the pricing could be cheaper.

We mainly use CRM for voucher submission for our employees for performance tracking, appraisal, and vendor relations and billing.

An improvement would be to lower the price of the license.

I've been using Oracle CRM for more than ten years.

CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it.

We previously used PeopleSoft.

CRM was easy to install.

We used a vendor team.

The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license.

I would definitely recommend Oracle CRM to anybody thinking of using it, and I would rate it eight out of ten.

Oracle CRM is used for sales activities. We can create customers, opportunities, codes submitted, reporting, and forecasting.

The forecasting reporting section was the most useful.

The performance could be better. It has sometimes taken far too long to complete a single task. I'm not sure if it's a product bug or a result of the implementation, or because we work via web and VPN.

I have been working with Oracle CRM for three and a half years.

We have six users.

We did not contact technical support.

I previously worked with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and a local solution, which was built here,  it is not an international solution.

The initial setup was complicated. I would rate it a three out of five.

It took six months to one year to deploy.

The deployment was completed by a third party.

I would rate Oracle CRM a nine out of ten.

• Product Configurator
• Quotes
• Product Catalog with Simple, Complex and Configurable items
• Catalog Synchronizations
• Integration Objects
• On Demand Web Services both inbound and outbound from their core CRM (Siebel) acquisition

It provides you an end-to-end offering but with heavy weight offerings.

May not be suited for your smaller needs but for complex ones, you can rely on it blindly for the next couple of years.

The product support, sharing the integration standards with major products or solutions and also for custom ones which am sure that will be a challenge for Oracle itself, support for REST out of the box will be required.

When it comes to software as a service CRM, the market has watched Oracle exhibit a near quick ramp-up on its position regarding the validity and opportunity for software as a service (SaaS) in the business software marketplace. In fact, even after inheriting the Siebel on Demand solution, the SaaS product was left as it is with no major upgrades for 18 months. Nonetheless, despite some initial reservations, Oracle has made up lost time, secured market share and advanced their Oracle CRM on Demand solution to earn a competitive leadership position in the cloud marketplace.

To continue growth and find new competitive differentiation, Oracle is using its Sun acquisition to deliver tightly integrated and optimized hardware and software products as well as continuing to expand its vertical market solutions and its applications business with the long awaited Oracle Fusion Applications—which offer the flexibility to run on-premises, on-demand or both.

I was responsible for the Oracle financial department.

We use Oracle to keep all of the providers in their perspective sites. We have all of the financial aspects with Oracle, the payments, the bills and we manage the accounting with the ERP.

I was in charge of looking for the providers who were the best suited for one school.

We requested the DRSP to send to the providers and to analyze it with the team in order to select the current one and hire them.

I was with the project from the start to the implementation process and the post-implementation process also, to be able to stabilize the system.

What we like is that we have all of the information that we need. It is very simple.

It's quite good and it's very stable.

It's a good product but the are some performance issues. The performance can be improved.

The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified.

I have used Oracle CRM in the last 12 months.

We are using version 12.

It's a stable solution. This is one of the features we like.

We have approximately 50 to 60 people in our organization who are using this solution.

The initial setup was quite complex in the beginning, and once it was done, it was quite difficult to manage. 

When we migrated from version 11 to 12 it took us a year and a half, it was quite complex.

In the beginning, it was quite harsh. Once we got to know it, it was quite simple.

We needed the help of an integrator. With the enterprise version, there is a lot of customization. We needed a special group for this project.

I would rate Oracle CRM an eight out of ten.
