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.

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

"The solution serves end-to-end customer relationship management which includes sales cloud, e-commerce cloud, and marketing cloud."
"It has a wide variety of use cases."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"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."
"During the demos, Oracle CRM's natural language search feature stood out to me. It departs from the traditional menu-based options, making searches more intuitive. Another significant feature is their Common Data Platform. Including an accounting package as part of the full platform was also appealing."
"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
"It provides you an end-to-end offering but with heavy weight offerings."
"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 performance could be better. It has sometimes taken far too long to complete a single task."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"Getting technical support from Oracle involved going through commercial layers, which could sometimes cause delays. The attention received depended on the client's status and spending with Oracle. Clients with significant spending received global attention and a corporate account manager, while those with lower spending had to work with a local account manager, which wasn't always beneficial. This process could lead to delays in getting technical issues resolved. I am not satisfied with its support."
"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 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."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The performance could be better."
"Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."
"Integration with third-party solutions is challenging with SAP Marketing Cloud."
"Email response could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"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 costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"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."
