Effortless predictive analytics, stable, scalable with 24 hour support
Pros and Cons
  • "We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
  • "In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to approach potential customer from the prospection to the sale.

How has it helped my organization?

We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very easy to use. Before we used this solution all of our customer data was stored on the vendor's database but now we have the data for all the customer in our corporate database. We have information about credit, sales, potential sales, and sending location information because some of them had more than one locations. The product has a lot of predictive analytics that are not a lot of effort. There is a lot to analyze regarding customer information and we can get detailed reports.

What needs improvement?

In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic. For example, in some cases, you need to develop your own formulas which are not easy to do. Another future addition that would help us is for this solution to have the ability to add more locations as ERP allows.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for a year and a half.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and we are currently using it with 50 employees. Some of the roles of the employees using the solution are from the management, analytics, marketing, and research teams.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support for this solution and for all the solutions from Oracle is more or less the same. They have a very robust platform where you can put your questions, your needs, the issues that you have and they will respond. The SLA are very. They support agents from around the world that can help, we have had agents from Mexico, U.S., Europe and from India. It is a 24 hour, seven days a week service.

How was the initial setup?

The setup was easy but it could have been better with integration with ERP.

What about the implementation team?

Oracle CRM Cloud in our experience, the integration is not simply, that being said, it could have been harder too. It took us three to six months to implement and to do the full ERP implementation it took around 9 to 10 months. We used a vendor to do the deployment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle. If you have many Oracle products, you can get a cheaper rate perhaps as we did. The cost was around $400 a year. There also was implementation costs that are an addition to the solution price.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We saw some information from Gartner and Nucleus Research, they have a good evaluation for Oracle CX. That is why we understood while we have Oracle ERP, we need to install Oracle CX. That is the reason what we choose Oracle CX, Oracle CRM. We wanted a solution that would work well together.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend the product, but only if you are planning to have a longterm contract.  I understand that there are other solutions on the market and they might be cheaper but if you like to have a long-term contract and you like to integrate Oracle is the best option.
Furthermore, If you don't have the intention to integrate with any ERP, then this is one of the best options, together with Salesforce. In our case, we prefer to have the product for the same vendor. That's why we didn't choose Salesforce, even though Salesforce might have a better recommendation or a better ranking. Both of them, Salesforce and CX are on the top five worldwide and in the Cloud.

We are planning to put CX in another plant during this next year, 2021. And we are very happy with the product.

I rate Oracle CRM a nine out of ten.

Pros and Cons

  • "The product is not intuitive."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution to document customers’ data.

What is most valuable?

We can filter and find any data. It's very easy to find any customer-related data.

What needs improvement?

Usually, the product is slow. It takes time when we request data. We never get the data in a second or two. Processing, finding, and showing the data to the end user takes time. The product is not intuitive. It is not easy to work with. It is not a fast system. I have never got a quick response from the system. We need a lot of patience to work with it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Usually, the tool is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Fast and responsive system that can handle large numbers of users
Pros and Cons
  • "Oracle CRM is very, very stable, one of the most stable products I've used in my career, and doesn't require much maintenance."
  • "A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."

What is our primary use case?

Oracle CRM is primarily used as a backend database for applications and for maintaining an archive of customer data.

What is most valuable?

Oracle CRM's most valuable features are that it can accommodate a large number of users and is fast and responsive.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Oracle CRM is very, very stable, one of the most stable products I've used in my career, and doesn't require much maintenance. However, a specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is very scalable - it can be scaled on the fly and be upgraded and downgraded.

How are customer service and support?

Oracle's technical support is very good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward and fast if the person installing it is a professional. Unlike SAP, Oracle has a limited number of modules, making installation more straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility.

What other advice do I have?

I wouldn't recommend Oracle CRM for everybody, but it's good for those with big requirements. I would rate CRM as eight out of ten.

An easy-to-use solution that is easy to set up and offers smooth customer support
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
  • "The one thing that I hate about it is when you pay for services for a certain amount of time, the service ends just before it should be over. For example, I may pay for a month of service, but it will tell me the service is over before the month ends."

What is our primary use case?

We use it to host customer links to the production environment. We also use it for a lot of levels. The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates.

What needs improvement?

The one thing that I hate about it is when you pay for services for a certain amount of time, the service ends just before it should be over. For example, I may pay for a month of service, but it will tell me the service is over before the month ends.

In the next release, I would like to see more dashboard optimization. If possible, features like future planning and capacity calculation would be great to see included.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Their support team is very smooth, and even the support page portal offers great service if you are a customer.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

It was very easy to set up. I think it took about one hour. The team needed for deployment depends on the customer requirements. If it's a larger deployment, you may need about three or four people, but if it's small, the deployment can be done by one individual.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it. If the solution could improve the pricing plans, it would be better.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
