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

"Our organization was operating blindfolded before implementing Act-On."
"Act-On is simple to use and it makes campaign development a breeze."
"Act-On has an outstanding customer support team and they escalate issues to their technical teams before the frustration level."
"It is now much easier for us to send and segment emails, analyze our results and make smarter decisions."
"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."
"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 product has very good quality to price, has a stable and powerful configuration, and allows your business to fulfill the required processes."
"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."
"The product is straightforward to set up. There's no difficulty."
"It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."
"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"The reporting features are valuable."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I think Oracle CRM could improve its user interface and user experience to make it more engaging. Currently, it has a more traditional enterprise look, but I believe it could benefit from more catchy and engaging colours and designs to better engage with users and stakeholders. While the capabilities might be there, the interface may not be very inviting for first-time users."
"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 data visualization should be better in Oracle CRM."
"The data visualization should be better in Oracle CRM."
"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."
"Customization is an area in the solution that takes too much time. So, it needs to be improved."
"The licensing is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."
"We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
"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 licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
