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

"Oracle CRM integrates seamlessly because it's an end-to-end solution."
"The solution serves end-to-end customer relationship management which includes sales cloud, e-commerce cloud, and marketing cloud."
"The most important feature is the ability to assign a plan using the manual close function."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"It is very simple."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Customer service and support I rate ten out of ten."
"I love that this product takes the guesswork out of marketing."
"It provides good support for really large databases."
"Eloqua has a drag-and-drop interface based on HTML5 and is the easiest WYSIWYG editor for creating landing pages and HTML emails that I've ever seen."
"In Oracle Eloqua, the most valuable feature from the marketer's user experience perspective is the design editor, which is very feasible, allowing a marketer to design emails and landing pages in a very short amount of time through drag and drop of email components, making them ready to use instantly."
"E10 is a slick easy to use tool that is also robust for those automation experts."
"The most valuable feature for us is that it integrates with our CRM content management system."

Cons

"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"The initial setup was quite complex in the beginning, and once it was done, it was quite difficult to manage."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The licensing is expensive."
"Improvements could be made in automating certain tasks, such as automatically notifying me via email when a customer has signed off on a proposal. Some of these features require payment, but including them in the basic package for smaller companies would be beneficial."
"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."
"The support for this solution is not great. Our queries have taken a long time to be resolved so we no longer rely on Oracle support."
"Oracle CRM's technical support is not that great sometimes. It could be improved with better quality for response time and empathy with the client's operations."
"Data manipulation tools are lacking. Documentation is sketchy and often incomplete."
"Not suited for small companies."
"There are usually bugs after updates but you know they are coming and they are very responsive to quickly fixing any issues"
"Oracle Eloqua requires maintenance because downtime or crashes can affect form submissions and integrations."
"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."
"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."
"There are some limitations with the platform in terms of creativity."
"This product hasn't kept up to date on features; they haven't adapted to or adopted newer ways of doing business."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."

"The solution is expensive."
"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."

"Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
