"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"Sometimes, it is difficult to integrate it with my emails. I've had trouble integrating it with my emails. There were a couple of things I did try as well, but I wasn't able to do so. I've had difficulty in other areas too with integration. It was related to syncing my calendars. I want the tasks that I put in to automatically sync to my calendars and update my calendars, but I couldn't figure out how to do it."
"The performance is sometimes slow. There is too much information and this makes it difficult to find the answers we are looking for."
"Sales Cloud could be improved with more training. In general, the training is very good, but you have to really seek out some good options in order to upskill yourself. Another thing, which could also be a benefit, is that Sales is very customizable. If you move from one organization to another, you can see your Salesforce as before, but their Sales Cloud may look completely different from what you're used to. It's not like Microsoft Excel or Trello, where the layout and all the functions are the same. Because it's so customizable, I feel like there is a bit of a learning curve when you inherit another Sales Cloud instance. To be honest, I think that's the beauty of Salesforce because you can customize it so much to fit your needs as a company. It follows your processes and use cases in order for you to get the most out of the system itself."
"There are also certain restrictions on the reports in terms of the number of records. Ideally, that should be removed."
"The licensing price could be cheaper."
"The cost of this solution could be improved."
