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.

Senior Manager / IT Planning & Architecture Services at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
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."
"Account management is a very good feature, it is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account, and the data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"The best practice business processes of PROMATIS helped us to implement an integrated process orientiented system."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"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."
"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."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"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 features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."
"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 Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
"This solution's stability is very good, it runs almost without effort, and we don't have any support issues with it."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
 

Cons

"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"The performance is bad."
"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."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"The initial setup of Oracle CX Sales is very complex."
"The data import process has grown a little since earlier releases. In the recent releases (8 and above), this process has improved but not much."
"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."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The UX was such that it limited the use of it."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"Putting so many things into SugarCRM became a much-hated task, mainly because of the horrible UI."
"At the moment, there is a complicated flow in regards to the user's permissions and what they can see."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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