Helps to understand customer journey better
We use Oracle CRM for customer segmentation.  Oracle CRM helped us better understand the customer journey.  I like the tool's ability to handle lots of data. It is well documented and throws off errors in areas that you need to pay attention to.  Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction…

Good solution for controlling company processes
Our primary use case for SAP is as a principal company system and it's relatively easy to understand our process in the system. It's quite easy to analyze the configuration and make other operations make custom accounts for the application. In my opinion, it's a good experience I don't have a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"The most important feature is the ability to assign a plan using the manual close function."
"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."
"Oracle CRM helped us better understand the customer journey."
"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."
"The reporting features are valuable."
"The flexibility to design the portal and customize it according to the needs of the clients is valuable. The integration with SAP ERP is also valuable."
"We like that this solution has made our whole accounting function paperless."
"SAP CRM is a scalable solution."
"When we are using SAP CRM we receive more accurate results than using any other CRM system."
"SAP CRM's most valuable at a branch level."
"What I found most valuable in SAP CRM is its multitenancy, and you can use it from your website, SMS, and even social media, and it's all integrated, so my company is trying to leverage on all of those."
"We get very good support from SAP."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified."
"It’s complex to customize the tool."
"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."
"Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."
"The interface could be more user friendly. It is currently not intuitive, and it can be better. The onboarding process for the end users of this solution could be easier, and there should be a few more things for user knowledge and training. It takes a lot of technical knowledge to get used to it."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"The user interface and performance could be better."
"The solution is slow."
"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."
"The B2C features of SAP are strong, but they are not very known to the public and companies. They must make it more known for B2C applications or B2C use cases."
"They have recently updated their user interface but they should continue to improve upon it in the future. Additionally, overall performance or speed of response times could be better."
"I think what needs to be improved is the solution for Brazil's organization."
"The implementation and integrations could be better. After we went into the production environment, we had some issues. Most of them were with the ERP integration. Many other issues were around the client's integrations between the ERP and CRM platforms. It could be more user-friendly. It wasn't very user-friendly initially, but now it's easier for them to use. Now, the users can use that platform better than at the beginning. We would like to see reports with more analytic features and artificial intelligence in the next release. For example, show more metrics and KPIs and more dynamic dashboards. Because the platform has some models, but it's not easy to use. It's a little complex."
"The solution needs more flexible customization, tender request, and they need to think about some of the localization aspects."
"In the future, machine learning and artificial intelligence functionality need to be included."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."
"From the maintenance perspective, SAP CRM is quite expensive compared to cloud services because the current solution they're using is managed by us and we are hosting it on servers. There is the cost of hosting, and managing servers and applications. The overhead is substantial, but this solution is a legacy system. It will take some time for the customer to migrate out of it."
"SAP CRM is not suitable for smaller businesses because it is expensive. The larger businesses would be able to handle the cost."
"The product is expensive."
"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."
"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."
"We pay for the license yearly."
