Typical configuration, no customization needed and quick to deploy

Cons

"Oracle CRM should improve in terms of AI capabilities and user interface design."
"The user interface and performance could be better."
"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."
"The product is not intuitive."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified."
"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
"I would like to remove all manual work and get the benefits of the function that Oracle provides without any manual interference or paperwork."
"The solution could improve by having a more user-friendly interface."
"Eloqua doesn't have built-in features for WhatsApp marketing or SMS functionality."
"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."
"This product hasn't kept up to date on features."
"The product's initial setup process could be better."
"The reporting features should be improved."
"​Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly.​"
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"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."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"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 pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"Oracle Eloqua can be expensive compared to alternatives."
"The solution is expensive."
"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."
"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."
"Our licensing costs are yearly."
"It's quite expensive."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
