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.

Integrates well with master data but user experience and integration need improvement
Predictive Analytics in SAP Marketing Cloud is effective, but it requires two essential elements. The data should be correct and sufficient enough to run Predictive Analytics, and the right algorithms need to be included in the marketing decision-making process. In Predictive Analytics, certain algorithms can be used, but it has limited use because it does not cater to the complete business needs of the client. The solution is easy to customize, but it requires having the right data model attached to the dashboard. If the data model is correct, the data on the dashboard can be manipulated very easily. However, if the data model is incorrect and does not bring in the right elements of KPIs and dashboards, upgrading the data model becomes a challenging exercise. SAP's user interface from a user story point of view rates six to seven out of ten. The user experience could be improved, but in terms of flexibility, it functions adequately when data is available. Without available data, none of the dashboards can function.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a wide variety of use cases."
"Oracle CRM is used for sales activities; we can create customers, opportunities, codes submitted, reporting, and forecasting."
"I find the reporting features impactful."
"Customer service and support I rate ten out of ten."
"What we like is that we have all of the information that we need."
"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"The forecasting reporting section was the most useful."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"SAP Marketing Cloud integrates effectively with the SAP data, ensuring all the master data gets aligned effectively with marketing."
"Segmentation and campaigning are very important features."
 

Cons

"The licensing is expensive."
"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."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"The support for this solution is not great. Our queries have taken a long time to be resolved so we no longer rely on Oracle support."
"The initial setup was quite complex in the beginning, and once it was done, it was quite difficult to manage."
"Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."
"Support: My Oracle Support service, enhancement, bug fix roadmap, and planning, quick and modern global cross-search is missing."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"Email response could be improved."
"Integration with third-party solutions is challenging with SAP Marketing Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
