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.

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

"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"Available source code, good documentation, training programs, and a relatively active community, provide the hallmarks for a successful open source effort."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."
"Affordable and commercial open source solution is good for organizations with budget constraints."
"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."
 

Cons

"Oracle Fusion Service has many challenges, as it's not easy in customization and for adding features; there's no access for the database directly."
"The biggest deployment concern I run into is that the primary agent console requires a combination of Internet Explorer, Microsoft Windows, and .NET."
"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"Oracle Fusion Service has many challenges, as it's not easy in customization and for adding features; there's no access for the database directly."
"Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was very difficult."
"When answer links are embedded within the ticket message threads, agents are taken to the customer portal; the development team should identify another option."
"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."
"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."
"Functionality and features are well suited for small business companies only."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"Pipelines, forecasts, and reporting in general, are not that good in the free version."
"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."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
