SrinivasReddy2 - PeerSpot reviewer
Typical configuration, no customization needed and quick to deploy
The product is straightforward to set up. There's no difficulty. It doesn't create any problems. The deployment took around four to five hours. It is a typical configuration, not customization is needed. Once we do Oracle installation, the configuration will be done based on business requirements. Customization should be done on the application. That will take around a month. CRM is integrated with ECP for data and stock-related information with respect to vendors. It is mostly integrated with other Oracle products. Moreover, the integration is easy.
Aniket Sukale - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers the ability to create lesser campaigns and drip campaigns, flexible to use and robust
Eloqua's reporting is very strong. Oracle, by default, provides many out-of-the-box reports – probably more than 150 – that cover the most common use cases. Additionally, there's a feature called Insight, where you can build customized reports without any coding. These reports can be scheduled for delivery to your inbox at regular intervals – monthly, weekly, etc.

Cons

"I think Oracle CRM could improve its user interface and user experience to make it more engaging. Currently, it has a more traditional enterprise look, but I believe it could benefit from more catchy and engaging colours and designs to better engage with users and stakeholders. While the capabilities might be there, the interface may not be very inviting for first-time users."
"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"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."
"This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable."
"I would like to see the UI improved ."
"The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"​Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly.​"
"Eloqua doesn't have built-in features for WhatsApp marketing or SMS functionality."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"The solution should consider adding functionality related to event listening, such as webhooks."
"The product's initial setup process could be better."
"The reporting features should be improved."
"The solution could improve by having a more user-friendly interface."
"The solution does not have a good database architecture."
