Managing the sales staff with optional and obligatory tasks works well

What is our primary use case?

Steering our salesforce.

How has it helped my organization?

We had to manage the work of about 45 people in sales: 30 in retail, 15 in gastronomy. You need good IT skills to run the system well, and it's not lean to manage, though it's flexible and there are many possibilities for desired developments.

Managing the sales staff with optional and obligatory tasks works well. The system is flexible if you have the necessary know how.

What needs improvement?

It's not lean to manage.

I like the self-service feature of the customer portal

What is our primary use case?

We implemented Oracle Service Cloud for a building management company. They were very happy as their customers were able to call, chat and email their issues and these were closely monitored and were tracked regularly for resolution.

How has it helped my organization?

Being the platinum partner of Oracle, we did the implementation for this client thus making the system work beyond their expectations.

What is most valuable?

  • Self-service through the customer portal
  • Knowledge management
  • Omni-channel through CoBrowse
  • CTI
  • Chat, etc.

What needs improvement?

Their mobile application for this product could be made more attractive as it currently has little functionalities.

For how long have I used the solution?

Three to five years.

It has amazing and very powerful reporting

What is our primary use case?

Documenting call center customer interaction, transferring incidents between teams and the help desk chat.

How has it helped my organization?

  • The OSC has been a great help, providing guides for agents, chat and help desk, surveys, etc.
  • It's easy to document and work on customer cases.
  • It has an amazing and very powerful reporting.

What is most valuable?

Love the power of reporting and dashboards. Also, I really like how easy it is to customize the OSC to fit most needs.

What needs improvement?

I think it is really good as it is but the chat routing could use some improvements. It is difficult to manage lots of queues since the agents can only have one profile.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

It allowed us to shorten the time to resolve issues and facilitate multiple concurrent avenues of contact for customers.

What is our primary use case?

  • Omnichannel customer support for multiple clients. 
  • The benefit of having ways to defer call volume like KBs and chat help reduces cost.

How has it helped my organization?

It allowed us to shorten the time to resolve issues and facilitate multiple concurrent avenues of contact for customers.

What is most valuable?

  • With add-ins, customer portal, custom apps, and APIs, there isn't much you can't do.
  • The ability to use chat and an ever-evolving knowledge base allows us to reduce the cost per contact.

What needs improvement?

  • Social: The forums and cloud monitor are a bit clunky and frequently run into issues. The solution of upgrading to their SRM software does iron out much of the cloud monitor hangups, but the forums still feel like they are out of date.
  • Billable session: If you have a large customer base hitting your knowledge base articles, the billable sessions can get expensive very quickly.

For how long have I used the solution?

More than five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No.

How are customer service and technical support?

If you have a problem, you will always be able to get in touch with someone that can help. The support is top notch. They also are great at using client input to see where they can improve the product.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used other CRMs like SFDC, but this is by far my favorite and go-to solution for almost all applications.

How was the initial setup?

Yes.

What about the implementation team?

In-house.

What was our ROI?

Reduced cost of contact and reduced overhead.

It provides faster turnaround times
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

  • Knowledge management (KM)
  • Call center
  • Customer outreach and transactional processes

We are also starting to use OPA to build online interviews.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

  • Incident management
  • Workflow for transactions
  • KM for general knowledge

The partnership we gained with Oracle has increased our rate of success. 

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

More than five years.

Included reports and the ability to customize are valuable features.

What is most valuable?

  • Integrated survey tools and reporting: wide selection of included reports and ability to customize

How has it helped my organization?

Logging all channel interaction in the same place gives us the ability to better determine FCR.

What needs improvement?

Ability to export records for archiving, or to query the DB directly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for Three years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We have encountered very few deployment issues. We have had two instances of incomplete or incorrect clones. These have been remedied by requesting that the clones be created again.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The data pod was initially overloaded, which caused issues with chat server stability, but a pod move fixed this.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not encountered any scalability issues; we are expanding its use to other divisions.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is very good. However, Oracle has been "restructuring" so we have had high turnover of Sales and CSMs on our account.

Technical Support:

Technical support is very good, especially once you learn the right language to get your requests heard.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used a different solution. We switched because we needed to be able to offer omni-channel support and integrated knowledge.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup was complex because we needed extensive integrations with an outside system. The admin setup is straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

A vendor team implemented it, in coordination with in-house SMEs; 9+ out of 10 for the vendor.

What was our ROI?

  • Channel migration
  • Improved loyalty for better CX
  • Integrated KPI reporting

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We underestimated how many seats we would use, because more teams requested access.

What other advice do I have?

Being active on their forums is very helpful to innovating and problem solving.

With workflows, only necessary ​data is exposed on the screens for agents to complete a ticket.

What is most valuable?

  • Reporting
  • Knowledge-base
  • Incident management
  • Chat
  • Co-browse
  • Smart Assistant
  • Workflows

How has it helped my organization?

Utilizing workflows allows for providing the right screens for agents to complete on a ticket where only the necessary data is exposed and automation can be built into the workflow resulting in potential less clicks for agents.

What needs improvement?

When answer links are embedded within the ticket message threads, agents are taken to the customer portal; the development team should identify another option. Also, SMS should be built into the product without having to use a third-party application.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it since Nov 2009.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

On a few occasions, we encountered deployment issues, but Oracle Service Cloud support was always able to provide a workaround if a bug/defect was identified.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not encountered any stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

The Oracle Support team finds solutions; I would give them a 7 out of 10.

Technical Support:

Technical support is an 8 out of 10.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup currently is a bit complex, just due to the multiple locations to log in to determine where the instance is located.

What about the implementation team?

We are a vendor.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing this product, we did not evaluate other options.

What other advice do I have?

This is an excellent product. The development team at Oracle is constantly creating new better versions. This product is an excellent application for customer service - dynamic knowledge management, ticket management, robust analytics and can be administered by a business analyst!!
