Featured Reviews

it_user82449 - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Systems Manager at a consultancy with 501-1,000 employees
The adaptive nurturing, segmentation, multiple lead scoring rules, and simple CRM integration stood out the most.
The CRM integration with Act-On is better with Salesforce and had more value for sales representatives than it did with Microsoft Dynamics CRM; that was MS CRM's downfall. Act-On Anywhere is a nice feature for general users, but the tracking in CRM is lost, and Marketing team subject lines do not carry over on the email templates.
reviewer2758776 - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Has improved process coverage and integration while offering strong analytics and user experience
The analytics and reporting functionalities of Oracle CRM are good. I would rate them eight to nine out of ten, but it slightly falls behind Salesforce, which is much more advanced in terms of meeting the process and analytics part. The integration of Oracle CRM with other Oracle applications is seamless; that's not a problem at all. The biggest advantage of Oracle CRM for me is the process coverage, ease of use, the UI, and obviously a good amount of analytics; these are the few strengths and seamless integration with any platform. The multichannel service support has an impact on my customer service operations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Act-On is simple to use and it makes campaign development a breeze."
"It is now much easier for us to send and segment emails, analyze our results and make smarter decisions."
"Our organization was operating blindfolded before implementing Act-On."
"Before I joined, my company used a larger, more expensive but more popular software, and after switching to this, my team can still do everything it needs to for cheaper."
"Act-On has an outstanding customer support team and they escalate issues to their technical teams before the frustration level."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"Oracle CRM's best feature is its ability to customize as per specific organization's requirements."
"Oracle CRM helped us better understand the customer journey."
"The product has very good quality to price, has a stable and powerful configuration, and allows your business to fulfill the required processes."
"Customer service and support I rate ten out of ten."
"The biggest advantage of Oracle CRM for me is the process coverage, ease of use, the UI, and obviously a good amount of analytics; these are the few strengths and seamless integration with any platform."
"It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
 

Cons

"One area of improvement would be ability to use dynamic content fields. It is available, but not to the fullest extent where it would help me."
"The CRM integration with Act-On is better with Salesforce and had more value for sales representatives than it did with Microsoft Dynamics CRM; that was MS CRM's downfall."
"The interface could be more user friendly. It is currently not intuitive, and it can be better."
"Everything has room for improvement, so there is nothing perfect in the world, which is why I don't give a nine or ten."
"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."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"The AI feature needs improvement. The technical support also has room for improvement."
"The interface could be more user friendly. It is currently not intuitive, and it can be better. The onboarding process for the end users of this solution could be easier, and there should be a few more things for user knowledge and training. It takes a lot of technical knowledge to get used to it."
"The initial setup was quite complex in the beginning, and once it was done, it was quite difficult to manage."
"The data visualization should be better in Oracle CRM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."

"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
