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.

Architect at a consultancy with 501-1,000 employees
Documentation and API integration have room for improvement. We eventually switched to Zendesk and are much happier.
Help Desk functionality such as ticket tracking, hosting knowledge base, ticket routing, social media integration, API. But only if they work as advertised, which they do not necessarily. Yes, we learned to be more careful about selecting products and we ended up using a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Connect as a feature within CRM is valuable for establishing and maintaining customer relationships, enabling users to see customer details and interact graphically with relationships."
"The solution is scalable."
"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
"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."
"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"It is one of the most proficient CRM tools out there; it is comprehensive and scalable, and it covers most of the CRM activities, business lines, and business requirements."
"What we like is that we have all of the information that we need."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"We eventually switched to Zendesk and are much happier with it."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"Improvements could be made in automating certain tasks, such as automatically notifying me via email when a customer has signed off on a proposal. Some of these features require payment, but including them in the basic package for smaller companies would be beneficial."
"Their support could be faster. Like any other solution provider, in some cases, it takes time to get their response, and sometimes, they do not fix the issue in the first round. Therefore, we have to go through another round."
"The performance could be better. It has sometimes taken far too long to complete a single task."
"The AI feature needs improvement. The technical support also has room for improvement."
"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."
"In a nutshell, don't."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
