Has improved process coverage and integration while offering strong analytics and user experience
The analytics and reporting functionalities of Oracle CRM are good. I would rate them eight to nine out of ten, but it slightly falls behind Salesforce, which is much more advanced in terms of meeting the process and analytics part. The integration of Oracle CRM with other Oracle applications is seamless; that's not a problem at all. The biggest advantage of Oracle CRM for me is the process coverage, ease of use, the UI, and obviously a good amount of analytics; these are the few strengths and seamless integration with any platform. The multichannel service support has an impact on my customer service operations.

Customizable design tools empower users to develop campaigns effortlessly
One improvement I would suggest for Oracle Eloqua is establishing data modeling capabilities where you can link various custom data objects to create multiple tables together, allowing access to data through SQL queries for better manipulation. I've found that when you get into very granular data analysis or complex segmentation, the current filter-based approach can become cumbersome. The filter wizard can only handle a certain number of conditions at a time, which can force you to build multiple 'shared filters' and combine them. An integrated SQL editor, or a more flexible data query tool, would allow for more efficient and sophisticated data manipulation

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."
"It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."
"The solution is scalable."
"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"It helps our company interact with our customers, track leads and opportunities, determine how many opportunities are transferred into actual sales, and other such areas."
"The product has very good quality to price, has a stable and powerful configuration, and allows your business to fulfill the required processes."
"Oracle CRM is used for sales activities; we can create customers, opportunities, codes submitted, reporting, and forecasting."
"It provides you an end-to-end offering but with heavy weight offerings."
"Oracle Eloqua is easier to use compared to Salesforce Marketing Cloud because Salesforce requires their own scripting called AMPScript, while in Oracle Eloqua, you only need CSS, HTML, and occasionally JavaScript."
"It provides good support for really large databases."
"Eloqua gets modern marketing, plain and simple."
"The solution's engine framework is quite simple, giving you the agility you need in the business."
"We needed a solution that could scale with our business - and it doesn't get better than Eloqua."
"The most valuable feature for us is that it integrates with our CRM content management system."
"Oracle Eloqua helps us track data and quickly schedule emails; it is a wonderful tool for working with emails."
"It is a user-friendly product."
 

Cons

"The product support, sharing the integration standards with major products or solutions and also for custom ones which am sure that will be a challenge for Oracle itself, support for REST out of the box will be required."
"The product is not intuitive."
"Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."
"Support: My Oracle Support service, enhancement, bug fix roadmap, and planning, quick and modern global cross-search is missing."
"There are a lot of batches and technical issues."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"Eloqua has great integration with Salesforce.com, but I'd love to see a little more of that rolled into a more intuitive UI."
"There are usually bugs after updates but you know they are coming and they are very responsive to quickly fixing any issues"
"Some areas of Oracle Eloqua that could be improved include enhancements for campaign features, such as the ability to filter contacts based on date intervals or related functionalities that currently require installing apps from the Oracle App Market."
"Setup has been over four months now and it has been painful."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"There are some things where improvement is needed. For me, it would be great if they integrated a tool like AI configuration capabilities within Eloqua itself."
"The product's initial setup process could be better."
"Price can be somewhat expensive"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"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 manageable and flexible."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"Oracle Eloqua can be expensive compared to alternatives."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."
"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."
"It's quite expensive."
