Integrated customer data has improved visibility and supports data driven sales decisions
The biggest friction point I have encountered with Oracle CX Sales has been user adoption, as sales teams are accustomed to using separate sheets, emails, or legacy CRMs, making it difficult to run and maintain data consistency. Data migration issues arise when customer data comes from multiple systems, leading to duplicates, incomplete, or inconsistent records that need to be cleaned. Additionally, the integration complexity of connecting with ERP, marketing, and other enterprise applications requires ensuring real-time synchronization, addressing varying business needs, and reaching agreement during workshops can take time. Change management is also challenging, as users often resist change and require additional communication and training to stabilize processes. If I could change one thing about Oracle CX Sales to make my workflow easier, it would be to simplify some of the configuration and customization projects. While Oracle CX Sales is very powerful, certain customizations and integrations can require advanced expertise, increasing implementation times and complexity. I would also simplify the user interface to enhance the experience for occasional users, as new users sometimes need additional training.

Easily customizable, automation enhances the marketing campaigns but support is the main hiccup for us
It has been effective in managing customer relationships. It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory. And there are centralized reports for the CEO and the general managers. We work with automation for these marketing and email campaigns. It sends out emails to prospective customers related to sales offers automatically. And it copies the sales team so that they can follow up. They are tracking the sales leads. So, the automation within SugarCRM enhances the marketing campaigns. For now, my work is done because I am the IT strategy and planning manager. I just try to deliver the solution according to the requirements of the business. From my side, it's implemented already, the requirement related to the sales funnel. But if they have any other requirement from the business side, they will submit it to me, and then I will look for a suitable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It covers sales very well, covers 90% of the customer's needs, offers good WhatsApp and SMS integration, and is pretty straightforward to set up while being stable and reliable."
"Oracle CX Sales has significantly impacted my organization by making it easy to interact with the cloud, providing access to data through APIs, allowing us to get all the datasets we require, and integrating with our AI automation tool, making the process very easy."
"We observe that after implementing Oracle CX Sales, there is approximately a 15% to 20% improvement in lead conversion, a 20% to 30% increase in sales, and around a 30% to 40% reduction in manual reporting effort."
"In terms of features, it is pretty much like other cloud solutions for sales force management, and it has definitely improved the way our organization functions."
"In my experience, the most valuable feature of Oracle CX Sales varies depending on the vertical of the business you're in. Oracle offers industry-specific products tailored to different sectors. However, the sales cycles and methods remain largely consistent across the board."
"Simplicity is key, and that's improved our organization."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"Good, basic out-of-the-box solution, however, in my estimation not a long term play as the design flow and user interface make it a true chore to enter data."
"By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost, and it works well."
"Available source code, good documentation, training programs, and a relatively active community, provide the hallmarks for a successful open source effort."
"My advice to others is this is a good solution for importing or exporting any graphics."
"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."
 

Cons

"As someone who implemented Oracle CX Sales, one of my biggest friction points is the lack of customization features prior to the introduction of Redwood, which was less advanced compared to competitors such as Salesforce."
"The biggest friction point or frustration I encountered with Oracle CX Sales is the complexity at times, especially when navigating deeper workflows or trying to customize reports and processes."
"A lot of fields seem redundant or you have to re-enter information that you previously entered elsewhere."
"The performance is bad."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"Putting so many things into SugarCRM became a much-hated task, mainly because of the horrible UI."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
"The UX was such that it limited the use of it."
"At the moment, there is a complicated flow in regards to the user's permissions and what they can see."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"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."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"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."
"The product is pricey."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
