Have faced persistent configuration issues and performance delays that slow down large workflows
From a developer's perspective, it could be more open for programming language configurations. It is currently restricted to Groovy scripting. While UI and UX designs are open to JavaScript configurations, there are restrictions on certain functions that can be used. The solution could be enhanced to better serve customers when dealing with complex programs. The customer's websites face issues with loading properly, and response time gets longer when implementing larger workflows. This could be improved to achieve lower response times even with larger workflows involving multiple system integrations and complex architecture. The agent decay capabilities need improvement in future releases. Currently, there are some agent decay configurations available for developers to implement, but this area needs enhancement. Performance issues exist in the Sandbox area. The Sandbox is a trial area for configurations, but if work continues for a long time without publishing, it tends to get corrupted, requiring deletion and rework from the ground up. This has caused significant rework and effort multiple times. Technical support can be challenging to work with. When facing product-related issues or configuration problems, the support experience varies. Sometimes the technical support is knowledgeable and helpful, but often they redirect problems elsewhere and cause delays in resolution.

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

"There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"I've seen positive impact from using Oracle Fusion Service, especially for HCM, where there's been a revolution from E-Business to Fusion; it's completely different."
"Multichannel communication can be enabled utilizing Oracle Fusion Service, including chatbots and AI chatbots."
"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."

Cons

"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"One suggestion I have is to shorten the IT team's response time. When we submit an ASR or similar request, it takes a while to receive a response, and this can be seen as a drawback."
"Some features that require improvement include the location functionality and certain aspects of the CRM."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher."
"We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product."
"Oracle counts users for licensing purposes, regardless of their roles or usage patterns. This process could be better."
"Oracle Fusion Service needs to improve its documentation part because we do not have proper documentation."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"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 product has average pricing."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
