CRM has supported contract tracking and customer insight while reporting remains secondary
I use Oracle software internally. I'm also selling project management software, automation software, and network operation software within the company to our customers. The Oracle solutions I use include making quotes with CPQ, making Oracle engagement clouds, and a little bit of CRM system functionality. I'm not the owner of it. I'm only using it to have admin access for my customers here. I'm not involved with any decision on what we're using at Broadcom for Oracle. We did a certain type of adoption in Oracle. We made a certain object for it, and that works pretty well. The only thing is that customizing and making extra fields takes a little bit of a long time. However, if you do customize it, it works out well for that part.

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

"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"I find the reporting features impactful."
"Oracle CRM is used for sales activities; we can create customers, opportunities, codes submitted, reporting, and forecasting."
"The solution is scalable."
"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 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 user interface and performance could be better."
"The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori."
"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The product is not intuitive."
"The AI feature needs improvement. The technical support also has room for improvement."
"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."
"Integration with third-party solutions is challenging with SAP Marketing Cloud."
"Email response could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."
"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."
"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."
"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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 product’s pricing is very high."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
