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.

Customizable, easy to configure, and reliable
My company is considered a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using right now. It's a company that offers lots of user manuals and you can find most of your stuff there before starting development. I'd advise potential new users to go through everything. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team. It's a system that includes everything related to the client and you can see everything under one screen without having a different product or system. It's been great, for the most part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reporting features are valuable."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"The most important feature is the ability to assign a plan using the manual close function."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"Oracle Connect as a feature within CRM is valuable for establishing and maintaining customer relationships, enabling users to see customer details and interact graphically with relationships."
"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."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."

Cons

"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"Their support could be faster. Like any other solution provider, in some cases, it takes time to get their response, and sometimes, they do not fix the issue in the first round. Therefore, we have to go through another round."
"Oracle CRM should improve in terms of AI capabilities and user interface design."
"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."
"The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future."
"The user interface and performance could be better."
"The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori."
"In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"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."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"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."
"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."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
