Omair Bokhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps business track their customers, sales leads, and opportunities
An area for improvement is the vendors' inability to understand the customers' requirements and communicate them to Oracle. When we started to implement the tool, and during the very initial phases of the product, when Oracle launched it, our company opted for it. We faced a few challenges related to the product speed associated with some functionalities that were not available when the tool was just launched, but later on, it became available, and right now, we are actually using it. The tool is fulfilling our requirements. There were no major hiccups or challenges due to the tool. The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future.

A CRM system that helps you automate and integrate your customer data and customer facing-activities: sales, marketing, service, and e-commerce
One area for improvement is the security model, especially regarding records management retention and the audit and legal holds. Since we're in the middle of a cloud digital transformation, it's essential to ensure the system flags documents properly according to global retention policies. We need to address bugs and make sure our system fully aligns with our procedures and policies. This is crucial to prevent breaches, especially in a time when breaches are becoming more common. For instance, my personal identity was compromised four months ago when my mortgage company had a breach, and I’m still working with the FTC to clean up the damage. In my work in mortgage and financial services, I’m focused on preventing this kind of issue for our consumers and clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is user-friendly and the fact that the database handling is much better, like any other Oracle solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically enrich deals by connecting to APIs. This allows me to gather additional information about companies, number of employees, and data from the previous year. Having this information helps me understand the size of the company better and tailor my proposals accordingly."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
"It has a wide variety of use cases."
"Oracle CRM helped us better understand the customer journey."
"I find the reporting features impactful."
"It is very simple."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"One of the main things is that the reports are very customizable. It is very easy and user-friendly to customize the reports the way the user wants. They can see the reports as per their expectations and change them accordingly."
"The most valuable feature is lead management and integration."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is real-time data. You don't have to go to the finance team for information. On one screen, you can see if stock is available and check the customer's outstanding balance, and then you can process the order. SAP CRM's integration with other applications is easier."
"It provides innovative ideas for implementation."
"The solution assists us in identifying what to send, what to offer, and what customers are buying."
"Its scalability is good."
"SAP CRM is very much customizable as per our company requirements, such as adding different kinds of products and making codes."
 

Cons

"The configuration requires a lot of technical intervention."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"The user interface and performance could be better."
"The licensing is expensive."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"Getting technical support from Oracle involved going through commercial layers, which could sometimes cause delays. The attention received depended on the client's status and spending with Oracle. Clients with significant spending received global attention and a corporate account manager, while those with lower spending had to work with a local account manager, which wasn't always beneficial. This process could lead to delays in getting technical issues resolved. I am not satisfied with its support."
"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
"Their support could be faster. Like any other solution provider, in some cases, it takes time to get their response, and sometimes, they do not fix the issue in the first round. Therefore, we have to go through another round."
"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot."
"It can be a bit more user friendly, to be honest. Sometimes there are too many apps options. It should offer better UX (user experience) to make it easier to navigate and easier to use."
"There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems."
"They could improve the product's analytics and reporting capabilities. Additionally, they could enhance its web interface speed."
"The product is very expensive."
"Previously, the SAP CRM used to use simple servers, but now SAP uses HANA. The problem with the HANA databases is their interoperability with other solutions. SAP CRM could improve by working better with other solutions."
"The solution is slow."
"The interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The solution is expensive."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"The product is expensive."
"SAP CRM offers a free trial for anyone wanting to test the product before purchasing it."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"Its price is reasonable. As compared to other CRMs, this CRM is competitively priced. They have multiple flavors with different sets of functionality. Pricing is based on the flavor that suits your requirement. If you have more users, the cost will come down."
"Every user needs to have a license."
"We pay for the license yearly."
