Uday Kiran B - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers the capability to customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything
The best thing is we can customize it. For example, there are some standard procedures in CRM, the opportunity that is standard. Other than that, we can create customized software on a business-to-business basis. So, if I don't want to follow any standard upgrade of CRM, I can customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything. I can make my own CRM. The analytics in Oracle CX Sales are good. We can use ODA (Oracle Digital Assistant) to track data. There are some out-of-the-box reports for things like currency exchange data or product lists. These features are there by default. If you need to create new custom reports, it's possible to do so. They've been lagging behind the visual builder recently, but the product has improved.
Richard Mottershead - PeerSpot reviewer
Infinitely customizable, good end-to-end sales and customer management processes but lacks good documentation
Essentially, it's the CRM solution for managing customers and leads. The features that had the most significant impact on our sales efficiency include flexibility, regular updates, and very good end-to-end sales and customer management processes. AI and machine learning are on the agenda for next year. Initially, it will be very silo-based, but eventually, we'll be integrating MIBI data into our solution. Sales Cloud's reporting and analytics capabilities influenced our sales strategy quite a lot. We can build every report as a dashboard, and there are various sorts of things. We are using Tableau as our MIBI analytic solution, which is also owned by Salesforce these days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It covers sales very well."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"The integration with other systems is easy."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"The solution integrates well."
"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"The solution is stable."
"This product is lightweight."
"Salesforce highlights what are we selling in different regions and which regions or areas offer opportunities. We are able to view sales by month, quarter or year."
"It is nice to have the install base information at your fingertips when you look up a company."
"The tool is quite flexible."
"I would recommend Sales Cloud for anyone who has a sales team that needs to be optimized and for any size of enterprise."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are increased productivity and business accuracy."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the custom codes."
 

Cons

"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"The tool must allow developers to check logs."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. Its reporting interface should be improved to personalize reports."
"CI/CD is the biggest room for improvement. Deployment between environments and configuration."
"One area where the solution could improve is with handling feature requests."
"With the solution being very vast, they need to prioritize features."
"I don't like the way parent-child relationships work in transactions between records in Salesforce Sales Cloud. NetSuite is a little bit more user-friendly in that sense. Salesforce Sales Cloud requires that you build everything from scratch. I don't like that. It leaves a lot of thinking and solutions to the consultants and the process is more prone to errors."
"I would like to see licensing fees reduced in the next release."
"It is a bit pricey."
"The solution's customer support is not so good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"The product is pricey."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"The price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be reduced. It is expensive."
"Not the cheapest"
"The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
"I've seen the prices for Salesforce Sales Cloud, but I haven't been the one to handle the money. As someone who's only visually looked at the price, I would imagine it's on the pricier side, but they do have a ton of leverage, and seeing that everyone I've worked for has always been dedicated to continuing Salesforce. I've never worked for anyone who has threatened to leave. Everyone has accepted the pricing for what they offer."
"Sales Cloud is expensive."
"We have a yearly license, and there are no hidden costs. Considering the Indian market, the pricing is reasonable. I don't consider it to be on the high side."
