Helps business track their customers, sales leads, and opportunities
An area for improvement is the vendors' inability to understand the customers' requirements and communicate them to Oracle. When we started to implement the tool, and during the very initial phases of the product, when Oracle launched it, our company opted for it. We faced a few challenges related to the product speed associated with some functionalities that were not available when the tool was just launched, but later on, it became available, and right now, we are actually using it. The tool is fulfilling our requirements. There were no major hiccups or challenges due to the tool. The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future.

Diverse integrations assist in seamlessly aligning marketing efforts with sales tracking
Zoho CRM is flexible due to its integrations, like with Zoho Campaign, helping integrate marketing efforts with CRM processes. It offers a no-cost entry with the ability for three users to use it at no charge, which is beneficial for startups to explore the platform without financial strain. This enables me to start using the platform, handle opportunities, and get a feel before committing financially.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"Oracle CRM accommodates client needs, potentially reducing licensing costs with a pay-as-you-go approach. It also allows for the standardization of processes and reporting, which is important for our organization. Additionally, integration through APIs improves connectivity."
"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."
"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"The product is straightforward to set up. There's no difficulty."
"Oracle CRM's best feature is its ability to customize as per specific organization's requirements."
"It also provides robust reporting capabilities to analyze and report on these key aspects of customer relationship management."
"The best thing about Zoho CRM is that it is integrated with other Zoho applications."
"Zoho CRM is flexible due to its integrations, like with Zoho Campaign, helping integrate marketing efforts with CRM processes."
"We use the solution for different projects. We use it to patch lead details from clients' sources."
"The camera feature is valuable because it provides a look and feel."
"The dashboards and visualizations help us see how different markets perform. I find the dashboard feature most valuable because it's easy to visualize data. I've been trying to use the built-in quotations feature, which could reduce turnaround time. We're not using many automation features for record management and opportunity tracking. I'm trying to integrate Zoho CRM with Zoho Flow for quotation submission workflow."
"I think the whole pipeline tracking is most useful for us."
"The most valuable features are the lead, opportunity and task management as well as dashboard creation, reporting, contact management and campaigns."
 

Cons

"Getting technical support from Oracle involved going through commercial layers, which could sometimes cause delays. The attention received depended on the client's status and spending with Oracle. Clients with significant spending received global attention and a corporate account manager, while those with lower spending had to work with a local account manager, which wasn't always beneficial. This process could lead to delays in getting technical issues resolved. I am not satisfied with its support."
"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."
"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."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The data visualization should be better in Oracle CRM."
"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 one thing that I hate about it is when you pay for services for a certain amount of time, the service ends just before it should be over. For example, I may pay for a month of service, but it will tell me the service is over before the month ends."
"The licensing is expensive."
"Custom development is often necessary to make such extensive changes, and it does come with associated costs."
"The integration should be more user-friendly."
"Zoho CRM’s customer service can be a little difficult to reach sometimes."
"Pricing for Zoho CRM could be improved because it is expensive. My company also needs some analytics, so it would be good if Zoho CRM had built-in analytics."
"The login process could be improved as some users find it unfriendly. The documentation could also be more user-friendly and better organized."
"Certain functions have occasional performance issues."
"Sometimes, there are technical glitches. When we add product details, the information disappears. It can be improved from this aspect. Some of the bugs also need to be resolved."
"The mobile application is a little complicated and could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"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."
"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 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."
"I have no information about the pricing for Zoho CRM because the finance department handles that."
"The licensing is the subscription, where we pay $50 per month per user."
"Professional plans cost $35 per user in the USA and EUR 35 in Europe."
"Compared to other CRMs, it is very cheap."
"I rate the product a four out of ten. The cost for Zoho CRM is not fixed; different editions are available, and the features depend on the edition chosen. Some capabilities, such as integrating with workflows, might incur additional costs, but these are well-documented and not hidden."
"Compared to other solutions, I would say Zoho CRM is very, very affordable because we can use different applications with one license."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"We pay for an annual license to use this solution."
