Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 27, 2025

Salesforce Sales Cloud and Oracle CX Sales compete in the CRM market, each offering unique advantages. Salesforce shines with its extensive ecosystem and flexibility, while Oracle CX stands out with industry-specific solutions and robust sales coverage.

Features: Salesforce Sales Cloud boasts high customizability, smooth integration across various platforms, and a vast ecosystem that offers significant flexibility. Oracle CX Sales excels in robust sales coverage, offers straightforward integration with social media and messaging apps, and provides comprehensive management from lead generation to post-sales processes.

Room for Improvement: Salesforce faces challenges with complexity, high pricing, integration, and reporting difficulties. Users desire improved reporting and lower costs. Oracle CX Sales needs interface enhancements, better mobile support, and advanced AI features. Its users seek a more refined user interface.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both Salesforce and Oracle CX offer deployment on public, private, and hybrid clouds. Salesforce is praised for its community and extensive resources, though some users report slow support without higher-tier services. Oracle CX provides satisfactory support, but consistency can vary with subscription level.

Pricing and ROI: Salesforce Sales Cloud is considered expensive due to custom feature costs and high licensing fees but delivers significant ROI with optimal implementation. Oracle CX Sales is competitively priced for standard implementations, though customization costs can add up. Both solutions offer meaningful returns, yet Salesforce's alignment with business needs may amplify perceived cost benefits despite higher expenses.

Offers the capability to customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything

The best thing is we can customize it. For example, there are some standard procedures in CRM, the opportunity that is standard. Other than that, we can create customized software on a business-to-business basis. So, if I don't want to follow any standard upgrade of CRM, I can customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything. I can make my own CRM. The analytics in Oracle CX Sales are good. We can use ODA (Oracle Digital Assistant) to track data. There are some out-of-the-box reports for things like currency exchange data or product lists. These features are there by default. If you need to create new custom reports, it's possible to do so. They've been lagging behind the visual builder recently, but the product has improved.

Experience exceptional project enhancements and seamless automation integration

Salesforce Sales Cloud itself is a wonderful solution, and there are two different versions: Lightning and classic. The Lightning version is a new generation version compatible with any mobile device, whether it's a phone, iPad, or any size of screen. The reporting and analytics functionalities, especially with the Einstein feature, are wonderful because it allows for analysis of data regarding your opportunity pipeline, giving insight into how long it will take to close deals. This gives a great understanding of running different levels of campaigns and defining smart workflows, where if one task is done, the other task can automatically get created and assigned to different team members. This flexibility is a key benefit of Salesforce Sales Cloud. Lead management is a great feature in Salesforce Sales Cloud because if you go for enterprise and above licenses, you can define different record types. For example, if one company is into two different businesses such as real estate and car reselling, both being opposite, this can be defined in Salesforce Sales Cloud, allowing for different workflows, fields, and mechanisms that do not affect each other's operations. The predictive insight feature known as forecasting is a very old feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud, giving predictions based on your pipeline and previous opportunity closings. The new Einstein analytics feature is more advanced and is enabled with AI, providing better forecasting based on your current pipeline. Salesforce Sales Cloud is working smartly with AI to help close more deals based on opportunity stages, trends, and industries, advising on the steps to take next. Lead generation is the most important thing because every sale starts from the lead. At the lead level, different stages and resources can be defined. You can capture leads from various resources, with Salesforce Sales Cloud offering a web-to-lead feature and integrations with LinkedIn to fetch data. Once a lead is qualified and converted into opportunities, there are stages with percentages, and workflows can help in easily closing deals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."

"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."

"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."

"The integration with other systems is easy."

"Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout."

"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."

"It covers sales very well."

"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."

More Oracle CX Sales pros

"You can adapt Salesforce for all customer needs."

"Suitable for all sizes of organizations."

"It is an open the platform with API integration with other systems. Salesforce, it is not a software. It is very famous and available. When you are creating leads, generating leads, opportunities, it is wonderful in the reports as well. Dashboards are amazing."

"The tool is quite flexible."

"The tool is a feature-rich platform. It is cloud-based means it's accessible to multiple people in the organization simultaneously. It's a collaborative CRM system where updates are visible to everyone. You can use it lightly with basic notes or extensively with lots of information. It supports multimedia, allowing you to upload video and audio clips. Overall, it's a feature-rich platform, and I don't have one specific feature that stands out; it's just very functional and rich."

"Sales Cloud's reporting and analytics capabilities influenced our sales strategy quite a lot. We can build every report as a dashboard, and there are various sorts of things."

"The best features of the solution are its performance and stability."

"This solution offers a good user experience. It is easy to learn and use, even for those who are using it for the first time."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud pros

Cons

"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."

"Support is very poor."

"The address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."

"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."

"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."

"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."

"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."

"The tool must allow developers to check logs."

More Oracle CX Sales cons

"The solution can be difficult to understand for customers of Salesforce."

"Auto clean for duplicate leads, accounts, and contacts needs improving."

"The reporting formats could be better."

"Its licensing can be improved to accommodate small companies. They provide a certain number of licenses in a set or batch, and you have to buy the set. For example, if they have 20 licenses in a set, you have to get the whole set, even if you need just three licenses, which could be a barrier for small companies. There is no option to buy fewer licenses. So, small companies have to go for a smaller CRM, such as HubSpot."

"I need to do a lot of customization to implement an ERP solution for an energy and utilities client versus a BFS client. Salesforce should look at the common customizations each client wants and see how much of that can be standardized into industry-specific specific solutions. That would speed up implementation, so we don't need to go through the same steps a hundred times. Salesforce could do it once and put it out for the rest of the clients to use it."

"The scalability could improve by a small amount."

"My age-old complaint with Salesforce Sales Cloud is that it has to be refreshed because it's a cloud-based system. If you make any updates, you have to refresh and save because you're fundamentally looking at what's running in the cloud. It can be slow since you constantly refresh and save the screen. If you were running a local application, like a local CRM system, as you input anything, it would be more seamless."

"It is very clunky. Its interface can be more user-friendly. There is always way too much information going on in Salesforce. It puts too much on your screen. It gives you every piece of information in the world, whereas I need less. It would be nice for it to be cleaned up a bit."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive, but worth the money."

"The price is reasonable."

"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."

"The product is pricey."

"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."

"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."

"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."

"We have a yearly license, and there are no hidden costs. Considering the Indian market, the pricing is reasonable. I don't consider it to be on the high side."

"The subscription is on a monthly basis."

"The overall price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be better, it is more expensive than other competitors. There is an annual license for Salesforce Sales Cloud."

"Pricing is reasonable."

"My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."

"The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."

"The price of the product is very high. I rate the product price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means expensive."

"I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
