Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 29, 2025

Oracle Fusion Service and SugarCRM Platform compete in the CRM software category, targeting different business segments. Oracle Fusion Service appears to have the upper hand for large enterprises due to its comprehensive suite and AI capabilities, while SugarCRM is more suited to small and medium-sized businesses seeking customizable, affordable solutions.

Features: Oracle Fusion is known for its omni-channel support, scalable integration abilities, AI capabilities, and proactive chat functions. It is well-suited for large enterprises needing comprehensive tools. SugarCRM offers affordability, customization, and essential CRM capabilities, including integrated email and marketing functions, making it ideal for budget-conscious businesses.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Fusion needs enhancements in B2B market engagement, UI design, integration, and customization options. Its documentation and support could be more thorough. SugarCRM requires improvements in reporting, forecasting, and user interface. Its current customization options are limited compared to larger platforms.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Fusion provides flexible deployment options across public, private, and hybrid clouds but requires skilled implementation for industry-specific needs. Customer service could improve, especially in response times. SugarCRM supports both cloud and on-premises deployment, offering generally satisfactory customer service, though some issues may require escalation.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle Fusion incurs higher costs with flexible pricing tied to usage, necessitating careful licensing consideration. Despite the cost, it achieves significant ROI by catering to organizational requirements. SugarCRM offers an affordable, straightforward pricing model attractive to budget-limited environments, but customization may add costs. ROI is favorable for both, achieved through different pricing strategies.

Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization

When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.

Customizable, easy to configure, and reliable

My company is considered a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using right now. It's a company that offers lots of user manuals and you can find most of your stuff there before starting development. I'd advise potential new users to go through everything. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 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. It's a system that includes everything related to the client and you can see everything under one screen without having a different product or system. It's been great, for the most part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."

"The solution is easy to learn."

"Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally."

"There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."

"Oracle Cloud Services integrates well. It has lots of APIs to integrate with other solutions, like the PBX we use from Cisco. The ability to integrate Siebel data with Cisco PBX was nice."

"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that customers can easily understand it."

"It supports various APIs and connectors, enabling seamless communication with other systems, including both Oracle products and third-party applications."

More Oracle Fusion Service pros

"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."

"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."

"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."

"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."

"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher."

"The user experience has to be much better."

"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."

"The UI experience needs refinement to enhance user-friendliness."

"The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) need significant improvement, especially in the older on-premises versions."

"Some features that require improvement include the location functionality and certain aspects of the CRM."

More Oracle Fusion Service cons

"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."

"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."

"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."

"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."

"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."

"The tool is reasonably priced."

"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."

"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."

"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
