Useful for B2B retail operations and order management but UI is bland and old

The UI might not be the fanciest, and since it's an older system, our customers are sometimes hesitant to invest in it. They're even considering moving to new e-commerce solutions, maybe even something custom-built in-house. It's quite basic and bland compared to today's modern web developments, which have enhanced user experiences. We're just providing support services to our customers, and they’ve been exploring a move to Oracle Commerce. However, there's some concern about Oracle Commerce's future, especially since support for version 11.3.2 is set to end in March 2025. We haven’t heard back from Oracle regarding any plans to extend support. We’re just keeping the lights on for now, but a transformation might be on the horizon. We have done some proof of concept with Oracle Commerce.

Infinitely customizable, good end-to-end sales and customer management processes but lacks good documentation

Essentially, it's the CRM solution for managing customers and leads. The features that had the most significant impact on our sales efficiency include flexibility, regular updates, and very good end-to-end sales and customer management processes. AI and machine learning are on the agenda for next year. Initially, it will be very silo-based, but eventually, we'll be integrating MIBI data into our solution. Sales Cloud's reporting and analytics capabilities influenced our sales strategy quite a lot. We can build every report as a dashboard, and there are various sorts of things. We are using Tableau as our MIBI analytic solution, which is also owned by Salesforce these days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is useful for B2B retail operations. The e-commerce platform is helpful for our customers when searching for products they want to buy. They can look up items using part numbers or product descriptions, which helps them find exactly what they want. We rely on the search functionality a lot."

"The tool's most valuable features are its integration with various scanners, OCR capability, and ability to populate the system with a lot of information. We use the workload automation feature occasionally."

"The merchandising part is where the business user adds and configures permissions, which is quite important for us."

"The product is really good. It is a robust tool that can scale up in any business, including some multi-million businesses."

"The most valuable features are all the promotion capabilities and the tiered-pricing capabilities."

"The features that help us to change the product and pricing are good. They give us enough flexibility to manage this application."

"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud is for teams the ability to do marketing on our page and to manage their marketing leads. You are able to close a deal and do the renewal. For the life cycle management for customer management, we use Salesforce Sales Cloud. The performance of the solution is good."

"Their support team is good."

"The scalability is good."

"This is a stable product."

"I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be stable."

"Our use case within the organization covers the entire cycle from lead generation, demand planning, and opportunities to realization and closure. For our clients, Salesforce is used more to plot the cycle from products to cash and lead to revenue. They mostly build offers and pricing quotations in the Salesforce environment through their field marketing agents."

"The company wants to implement the idea of democracy within IT. As an end user, you can do a lot by yourself, so you do not have to write code. The idea is that they go for low-code and they use flow. It's possible to update records and do things like automation without writing real codes. I think this is one of the advantages of the solution."

"CRM solution that performs well. It's multifeatured, so you can use it for different activities such as managing opportunities, managing revenue, reviewing leads, etc."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud pros

Cons

"Oracle has a cloud solution, but some on-prem features are not available in the cloud version."

"There should be some sort of native integration. All the integrations that we build are completely customized. There should also be a mechanism for user surveys and product reviews. As of now, I don't see any feature related to these. It must have a provision for doing customer surveys and allowing customers to give product feedback. If I have a customer who purchased something on the website, there has to be a mechanism for a company to capture the feedback. This feature is currently not there. Similarly, if a customer wants to do a review of the product, there is no native feature for that."

"The only issue with the tool is that it is not cloud-based."

"One drawback is that the tool could be more agile in adding new features. Since the product is very big, new features aren't added continuously. However, it already meets most of our requirements for day-to-day use."

"The UI might not be the fanciest, and since it's an older system, our customers are sometimes hesitant to invest in it. They're even considering moving to new e-commerce solutions, maybe even something custom-built in-house."

"So far, with Oracle ATG, I haven't seen any good cloud-based solutions."

"The tool's technical challenges vary depending on the requirements. When a new requirement arises, we must analyze the best approach to address it, whether through automation tools or coding. We encounter limitations such as the number of reports we can process or update, the queries we can write, and other similar constraints. Understanding when to utilize coding and when to rely on simple configurations is crucial."

"It could have a more user-friendly interface."

"The solution's customer support is not so good."

"Its licensing can be improved to accommodate small companies. They provide a certain number of licenses in a set or batch, and you have to buy the set. For example, if they have 20 licenses in a set, you have to get the whole set, even if you need just three licenses, which could be a barrier for small companies. There is no option to buy fewer licenses. So, small companies have to go for a smaller CRM, such as HubSpot."

"There could be an option to change the price list without creating a new quote."

"Salesforce Sales Cloud does not integrate with Slack or WhatsApp, for example. As a result, there is no easy way to directly log a conversation with a client that occurred on one of these platforms. There are a few things that still need to be done manually in these instances."

"Salesforce must build some connectors and features to make integrations easier."

"The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is moderate. We use a license module."

"Oracle ATG is an expensive solution."

"The tool's licensing is costly. Finding the right talent to manage it is also a challenge."

"The price of the product is very high. I rate the product price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means expensive."

"Salesforce Sales Cloud is an expensive solution."

"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."

"The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."

"Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."

"I've seen the prices for Salesforce Sales Cloud, but I haven't been the one to handle the money. As someone who's only visually looked at the price, I would imagine it's on the pricier side, but they do have a ton of leverage, and seeing that everyone I've worked for has always been dedicated to continuing Salesforce. I've never worked for anyone who has threatened to leave. Everyone has accepted the pricing for what they offer."

"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."

"It's expensive, storage being the most costly aspect."

Overview

Oracle ATG is an ecommerce solution that features out-of-the-box omnichannel experiences, makes it easy and fast to launch websites, provides scalable business-user control, and integrates well with other products. The platform helps businesses ensure relevant experiences to their customers at each touchpoint of a customer’s purchase journey (including the web, contact center, mobile devices, social media, physical stores, and more). Thich helps to increase sales and ensure a seamless buying experience. The solution can be implemented on premises or hosted by Oracle or a third party and it also runs on one of three application servers, including Oracle WebLogic, JBoss, or IBM WebSphere.

Oracle ATG Web Commerce is made up of three platform layers:

The Dynamo application framework (DAF)
The personalization module (DPS)
The scenarios module (DSS)

Oracle ATG Features

Oracle ATG has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

Personalization capabilities: Oracle ATG has personalization capabilities including DPS and DSS. The personalization module (DPS) provides control to customize the content as per customer interest, targeting content based on the customer’s interest. The scenarios module (DSS) extends the content targeting capabilities of the personalization module. In addition, you can have customized content in a way that changes dynamically for each user. Scenarios are time-sensitive, event-driven campaigns designed to manage interactions between site visitors and content over a long period.

Data anywhere architecture: Oracle ATG is designed with data anywhere architecture, meaning implementation is independent of the data source. With Oracle ATG, if you change your database, you do not have to change your code.

Payment integration support: Oracle ATG eCommerce supports various payment gateway integrations, which includes credit card, PayPal, or any other payment mode. The code can be customized to any payment method you want.

Application server support: Oracle ATG’s eCommerce applications are built on the concept of component-based model. It supports most of the major application servers, like JBOSS, WebLogic, and WebSphere. The component model is implemented using JSP and Java Beans, which are easily and widely used.

Oracle ATG Benefits

There are several benefits to implementing Oracle ATG. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

It has both B2B and B2C offerings.
It enables merchants to manage and sell complex products.
It allows merchants to efficiently personalize the shopper experience through customisable content, sites, and campaigns.
The solution is designed with a unified architecture that lets you manage multiple sites efficiently.
Oracle ATG includes robust personalization features, including tailored content and merchandise, personalized search, tailored websites, and customized marketing programs.
With the solution’s data anywhere architecture, you can easily manage integrations.
Business users can develop categories, products, and SKUs and organize them into catalogs that exist in a content management environment.
It is simple and easy to use with a clean interface.
Oracle ATG also has good dashboards for visualizing the data in a comprehensive and clear format.
Because Oracle ATG is a server-side, component-driven platform, you can use headless systems while retaining most of its features. If you already have an Oracle ATG setup, you can keep the frontend and migrate the backend to a microservices-based alternative for more flexibility.
