Christiane Hauk - PeerSpot reviewer
COO at RM Group (Switzerland)
Have improved workflows through automation but faced challenges with feature limitations and unclear pricing
The impact of those automation features on our operational efficiency is huge; however, what I don't appreciate about it is that it's very limited; it's limited to Bullhorn and, even within Bullhorn, it's limited to the candidate, the placement, the job, and the contact entity. You cannot automate files, notes, or change requests, so it's very limited, and they also don't do any further development in this anymore since AI is on the market. When it comes to automation in Bullhorn, I would appreciate seeing that automation is possible for integrating files. For example, that you can say, show me all candidates who don't have a file or which have a file that is older than one year, or which have a file type of resume or contract. I would appreciate seeing the possibility to build automations based on change requests, where you can automate according to the status submitted or approved, which is currently not possible, or automation based on notes. When it comes to the missing features in Bullhorn, I have numerous suggestions. Recently they introduced the AI assistant, which is a chatbot within Bullhorn that can refer to candidate, contact, and job data, which is great. However, the output from your prompt can only be copied to a clipboard and not inserted into a Bullhorn field, meaning you always have to do three, four more clicks to get it over to an email or to the field that publishes the job ad. This functionality has to be developed further because there are other tools that can already do this. The prompting and formatting possibilities within the prompt are very limited as well. Regarding AI, there is no match top candidates functionality that provides results good enough to use. We are already using the Textkernel search, which is the future search Bullhorn will integrate. Additionally, we also work with Bullhorn Onboarding, which is a catastrophe; it's not further developed, and they have not provided a new solution for the German-speaking market in five years. We also use the Canvas reporting tool that lacks further development; there are limitations on what you can build reports on. I would appreciate seeing improvements there, and to close this circle, I would appreciate seeing a kind of avatar that can conduct a first interview with a candidate.

Integrated customer data has improved visibility and supports data driven sales decisions
The biggest friction point I have encountered with Oracle CX Sales has been user adoption, as sales teams are accustomed to using separate sheets, emails, or legacy CRMs, making it difficult to run and maintain data consistency. Data migration issues arise when customer data comes from multiple systems, leading to duplicates, incomplete, or inconsistent records that need to be cleaned. Additionally, the integration complexity of connecting with ERP, marketing, and other enterprise applications requires ensuring real-time synchronization, addressing varying business needs, and reaching agreement during workshops can take time. Change management is also challenging, as users often resist change and require additional communication and training to stabilize processes. If I could change one thing about Oracle CX Sales to make my workflow easier, it would be to simplify some of the configuration and customization projects. While Oracle CX Sales is very powerful, certain customizations and integrations can require advanced expertise, increasing implementation times and complexity. I would also simplify the user interface to enhance the experience for occasional users, as new users sometimes need additional training.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I appreciate most about Bullhorn's core functionalities and ATS functionalities is that it is highly customizable, the UI is very user friendly, and it's very easy to train."
"What I appreciate best about Bullhorn is its user interface, which is really nice, and I enjoy the flexibility that you have with it and how you can customize it to meet your needs."
"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"It covers sales very well, covers 90% of the customer's needs, offers good WhatsApp and SMS integration, and is pretty straightforward to set up while being stable and reliable."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"Oracle CX Sales has impacted my organization by improving visibility and better coordination across workflows."
"We observe that after implementing Oracle CX Sales, there is approximately a 15% to 20% improvement in lead conversion, a 20% to 30% increase in sales, and around a 30% to 40% reduction in manual reporting effort."
"In terms of features, it is pretty much like other cloud solutions for sales force management, and it has definitely improved the way our organization functions."
"Account management is a very good feature, it is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account, and the data for those accounts remain there throughout."
 

Cons

"Bullhorn Onboarding, which is a catastrophe; it's not further developed, and they have not provided a new solution for the German-speaking market in five years."
"I think one thing that could be improved is that it's expensive."
"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"The user experience of Oracle CX Sales is not as good as Salesforce. The UI/UX is definitely not at that level."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"The tool must allow developers to check logs."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"The biggest friction point I have encountered with Oracle CX Sales has been user adoption, as sales teams are accustomed to using separate sheets, emails, or legacy CRMs, making it difficult to run and maintain data consistency."
"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."
"Support is very poor."
