    We have not encountered any deployment issues.

    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 support?

    Customer Service:

    Customer support is excellent with the dedicated Oracle Service Cloud portal, knowledge base and support lines.

    Technical Support:

    Technical support is excellent.

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

    We did not previously use a different solution. Oracle RightNow is the only solution in the market that offers a true omni-channel experience and a native joined-up approach between service, sales, marketing.

    How was the initial setup?

    Initial setup was straightforward. The out-of-the-box functionality and features are very well aligned with reality, making it easier to accelerate deployments

    What about the implementation team?

    An in-house team implemented it.

    What was our ROI?

    We haven't measured ROI yet.

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

    If you have sporadic users - i.e., not everyone is going to access it all day - go for "non-contact centre users", which are much cheaper.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Before choosing this product, we evaluated:

    • Oracle Sales Cloud
    • Sage SalesLogix

    Testimonial Review of Oracle RightNow CX
    Pros and Cons
    • "Basically, it is a suite built for providing services; the ability to connect to the customers is a highlight here by making use of all communication modes."
    • "Customization of the client's branding establishment instead of the default Oracle brand signs (example: logo in the login Screen)"

    What is most valuable?

    Basically, it is a suite built for providing services; the ability to connect to the customers is a highlight here by making use of all communication modes. A meaningful interaction with the customer in order to gather the utmost possible information to provide better solution makes the difference here.

    Features including Chat, Co-Browse, SLA, Social Monitor, Knowledge Base, Smart Assistant, etc., are found most valuable.

    How has it helped my organization?

    67% of consumers turn to a company's social media site for customer service. Social Monitoring does a perfect job here (by social media integration with Oracle RightNow).

    What needs improvement?

    • Customization of the client's branding establishment instead of the default Oracle brand signs (example: logo in the login Screen)

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have used it for six months.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    We have had no issues with the deployment.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It is an absolutely stable product with no issues.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It is definitely a scalable product.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    Customer Service:

    Customer service is 9/10.

    Technical Support:

    Technical support is 9/10.

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

    This is my first experience working with a cloud CRM tool like Oracle RightNow.

    How was the initial setup?

    Initial setup was completely straightforward. Required interface- and site-level modifications can be done easily in the cloud portal with the help of Configuration Assistant.

    What was our ROI?

    Customers who enjoy a great customer experience actually pay 30% more on average for that experience. Great knowledge gathering and continuous requests to provide prolonged service are the ROI.

    What other advice do I have?

    The customer journey surrounds three experiences: "The Web Experience", "The Contact Centre Experience" and "The Social Experience". Oracle RightNow has given equal importance to these three, which overwhelmingly satisfies the customer.

    It's meant for services. It was built with a base of providing services to the customers by providing knowledge-base articles and not just through a phone channel. It's more of an omni-channel suite.
    Pros and Cons
    • "It's definitely a very stable product, and I work with customers who have more than 1,000 call center agents, so you can see how robust and stable this product is."
    • "The product build works well when it comes to implementations and mass communications and media, but there's a lot of improvement needed for the B2B market."

    Valuable Features

    One of the good features about this product is, like many other cloud technologies, this product is meant for services. It was built with a base of providing services to the customers by providing knowledge-base articles and not just through a phone channel. It's more of an omni-channel suite.

    I've worked with a lot of customers with whom I've worked with these product and also with other service cloud products and it takes a lot of other products into the market. But I've seen customers being more happy when they get whatever they're looking for in terms of customer satisfaction by reaching out to the market on a quick deploy.

    If they want to increase their agents count in terms of scalability or in terms of integration or extending the product features, making new innovative edits and all that, it brings these features home to the customer easily.

    Room for Improvement

    The product build works well when it comes to implementations and mass communications and media, but there's a lot of improvement needed for the B2B market. In the B2C market it works very well and in the B2B market it works well, but B2B requires more customization. There's area for improvement when you want to serve the B2B market.

    Use of Solution

    I've worked with it for almost eight years.

    Deployment Issues

    We've had no issues with deployment.

    Stability Issues

    It's definitely a very stable product. I work with customers who have more than 1,000 call center agents, so you can see how robust and stable this product is.

    Scalability Issues

    It's definitely scalable. We had a customer who initially rolled it out for just 5 users; they now have over 300 just by adding licenses.

    Customer Service and Technical Support

    They are knowledgeable in a certain way. They definitely are knowledgeable in terms of the product, but when it comes to implementing the product to a vertical industry, I think they lag a little behind on that. I don't expect them to be an expert in all the business areas because their job is to sell the product. Our job, people like me, is basically to implement for our customer and that's where non-Oracle expertise comes into the picture.

    Initial Setup

    It's straightforward. Prior to working with Service Cloud, I'd seen implementation on other CRM product like Siebel or Clarify. Implementing a product like that involved huge investments for our organization. They had to have at least a couple of database administrators and then they had a couple of front end developers, couple of back end developers, and then they needed infrastructure. It was a huge investment when they wanted to build a CRM application or they wanted to migrate to another CRM application. In terms of the Oracle Service Cloud, some of our implementations have been completed in two weeks with just two developers.

    There are small complexities involved in the setup when you want to add a lot of customized features specific to your industry vertical or you want to integrate with your back end application. In those scenarios, the implementation timeline increases, but still, if you compare to other implementations like Siebel or Clarify or any other CRMs, they take a lot of time. With those, implementation takes 7-8, but with the Oracle solution, it can take just a couple of weeks.

    A unified platform of apps, data, and capabilities that enables effortless self-service and agent-assisted services
    Pros and Cons
    • "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."
    • "One suggestion I have is to shorten the IT team's response time. When we submit an ASR or similar request, it takes a while to receive a response, and this can be seen as a drawback."

    What is our primary use case?

    My clients mainly use this tool for Supplier Chain Management purposes, as it serves the needs of their supply chain management activities.

    What is most valuable?

    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. They have multiple scenarios to consider, such as warehouse management and international business operations managed from the UK. Additionally, they seem to have found a beneficial solution from Meraki to address their specific needs.

    What needs improvement?

    They seem to be addressing most issues effectively. However, one suggestion I have is to shorten the IT team's response time. When we submit an ASR or similar request, it takes a while to receive a response, and this can be seen as a drawback.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working with Oracle Fusion Service for the past two years. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It is a stable solution. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It is a scalable solution. 

    How are customer service and support?

    They are a little late to respond to queries.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

    How was the initial setup?

    It is easy to install. It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to install.

    What other advice do I have?

    Those looking into this solution should consider it. They can decide based on the system's name. I'm quite confident in this recommendation and I would rate it a nine out of ten.
