Workflow-driven processes enhance sales efficiency and analytical insights
Oracle CX Sales is workflow-driven, aligning with best practices in our sales process. The efficient workflow eliminates the need for multiple entries; data flows seamlessly from sales accounts to projects to quotes. The solution also offers robust analytical capabilities, enabling us to analyze reasons for wins or losses and strategically adjust our approach.

Zoho CRM improves lead conversion with AI assistance but could have better technical support
Zoho Zia has helped our lead conversion process by serving as a private AI of Zoho CRM that assists in boosting lead conversation by analyzing customer data, predicting outcomes, and automating workflow follow-ups. Regarding how Zia helps with lead conversion, there's lead scoring and conversion predictions, sentiment analysis, and workflow suggestions. For lead scoring, Zia analyzes past lead conversation patterns and assigns scores to new leads, and high score leads get prioritized for faster follow-up. In terms of conversation predictions, Zia predicts the probability of lead conversion based on demographics and engagements, helping the sales team focus on the most promising leads. Another point is sentiment analysis, where Zia scans customer emails, chats, and notes to detect tones such as positive, negative, or neutral, guiding us on how to approach the leads better. For workflow suggestions, it recommends automated workflows such as sending emails and assigning tasks to agents, improving our engagements. Additionally, the conversational AI feature through Zia chatbot can interact with leads via website chat or capture details and push them into Zoho CRM automatically. The analytics and reporting features in Zoho CRM helped me understand sales patterns and customer behavior through standard reports that include pre-built reports for leads, deals, sales activities, and campaigns. We can customize reports as well, creating reports based on any module fields, and we can integrate with Zoho Analytics for direct capture of reports from our modules. We can merge leads reports to contact reports using SQL, allowing for effective sales funnel tracking to identify drop-offs and optimize conversation strategies. Auto-generated reports are also available for daily scheduling, ensuring that admin receives daily basis reports through automation. With advanced BI features such as drag-and-drop dashboards and predictive analysis using pivot tables, we can create insightful dashboards while pulling CRM and external data from sources such as Google Ads and Facebook Ads for unified analytics. The automation capabilities in Zoho CRM have helped streamline our organization's sales and marketing tasks by handling repetitive tasks such as sending follow-up emails, assigning leads, and updating fields. For example, if a lead score is greater than 80, it automatically assigns that record to the senior sales representative. There are also blueprint options to define the step-by-step sales process, ensuring every sales representative follows the same process. Automation includes assignment rules, lead scoring, priority load options, sales signals, macros, and territory management, which automatically routes leads based on geography, revenue, and industries. Additionally, deal stage automations trigger actions when a deal moves stages, such as sending a contract when it moves to negotiation. For marketing, there are tools for email campaign automation, behavior-based triggers, campaign to lead sync, and social media automations. The overall benefits I have seen from using Zoho CRM include centralized customer data, where all customer interactions are visible in one place, providing a 360-degree view. Improved lead conversations through AI-powered scoring and automation helps us focus on the right leads, with end-to-end sales automation managing tasks from lead capture to deal closure, thereby saving time on repetitive tasks. This leads to better marketing ROI, as we can track campaigns, ad spend, and lead sources, connecting marketing efforts to revenue. Enhanced collaboration through shared notes, tasks, and role-based access enables teamwork within our internal users and sales teams, contributing to customer satisfaction. Moreover, Zoho CRM is scalable and customizable, adapting to startups, SMBs, and enterprises with its flexible modules and fields. Lastly, it is cost-efficient compared to Salesforce and HubSpot while including a wide range of features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"The solution integrates well."
"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"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 lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"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."
"The login and logout times of each employee of our company are recorded by Zoho CRM for productivity calculations"
"What I like most about Zoho CRM is its configurability. We can adapt it to our needs in terms of the sales process. It has automation capabilities, but we mostly use it as a static system, except for sending emails and information about updated products."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho CRM is emailing. You can send emails to customers directly from Zoho CRM. The marketing team in my company uses this feature, and it's effective."
"The camera feature is valuable because it provides a look and feel."
"Its initial setup process for the cloud-based version is straightforward."
"Zoho CRM has a location-based feature where if I'm visiting certain customers in a day, it can indicate to me the most efficient route. However, this is if the location of all the offices or places is updated, it saves my time. The calendar in Zoho CRM is synchronized with Google Calander which is very useful for me."
"What I like best about Zoho CRM is the web form feature. I find Zoho CRM forms excellent."
"It also provides robust reporting capabilities to analyze and report on these key aspects of customer relationship management."
 

Cons

"The tool must allow developers to check logs."
"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."
"The address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"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've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"It does require some technical background before starting to do anything with Zoho CRM."
"One area of Zoho CRM that could be improved would be email support. The email support is really slow, but the in-app support is superb."
"When writing code that exceeds 500 or 700 lines, if you forget to save it and haven't run it once, the entire function can be lost."
"They should provide an option to customize modules."
"Since Zoho CRM is not made for the enterprise kind of company, its stability for enterprise businesses could be improved."
"The main area for improvement is how the solution handles leads. Leads are separated and always tied to a contact, which makes it difficult to maintain leads within a company. This could be handled better."
"What needs improvement in Zoho CRM is the UI. It needs to be more user-friendly. I like Salesforce better than Zoho CRM in terms of the UI, so if Zoho CRM can make some UI changes, that would make the tool better."
"The main improvement needed for Zoho CRM is introducing SQL code for reports, similar to what's in Zoho Analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is pricey."
"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."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"The price is reasonable."
"The tool started out quite cheap. It's had some changes with small and medium business subscriptions, but it's still worth the price. I'd say it's priced a bit below the medium range."
"It is around $1000 a month."
"Compared to other CRMs, it is very cheap."
"We have an annual license fee that costs $12,000."
"Zoho CRM is an expensive tool."
"Compared to other solutions, I would say Zoho CRM is very, very affordable because we can use different applications with one license."
"The basic plan has changed from $15 to $25 or $30."
"I have no information about the pricing for Zoho CRM because the finance department handles that."
