Technical support is helpful. They have a good support bot for handling items so most case response times are fast. Support is aware and responsive but it takes time for them to resolve issues. Our whole enterprise is in the cloud and uses this application. It is a high priority to close any issues. We need an immediate response with resolution within two to three days. Support sends a lot of templates to fill in based on the priority or escalation. Completing templates takes time, particularly with the bot. The support process definitely needs improvement so technical support is rated a seven out of ten.

The customer service and support depend on the kind of support person available. And during which time you are seeking out that help. So, sometimes, it does feel that the support could have been better. Sometimes, it feels that's the best solution that could have been in that short span of time. So Oracle could be better with their support team.

The documentation might not be good enough for new users. You will sometimes experience hardships in accomplishing implementations because you don't yet have a grasp of the solution. Once you understand deployments, then implementations are easy with no real problems. Deployments for other vendors could be easier. The solution handles Oracle to Oracle very well, but needs to improve for vendors like Microsoft. Our last deployment with another vendor was a headache.

"Oracle rapidly releases new features, and I may not be ready to adopt them."
