Featured Reviews

Hitesh Kunchakuri - PeerSpot reviewer
A reasonably stable and scalable tool to manage human resources, payroll, and expenses of a business
There are multiple options in the product that are improving quarterly by considering the user feedback Oracle receives from its multiple clients. I am not exactly sure about the improvements made in the product since I have not been working with the solution for the past four to six months. The area where employees' personal and contact information is called the person management section in the HR module of Oracle Fusion Service, has shortcomings where improvements are required. Sometimes, there are some issues with the areas around national identifiers in the product, so our company has to add multiple national identifiers. Though a person from the USA works in some other country, and that person has every valid document of the residing country, the product sometimes gives some trouble to access the information. The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly. It would be great if there was an option to do internal calculations in the product since sometimes, in our company, we have to calculate all the fields manually in Excel and then upload them in the application.
ChanchalSaxena - PeerSpot reviewer
High scalability with good plugins and excellent customer visibility
The solution should improve: 1. Reports & dashboard - The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license. 2. Einstein has limited capabilities, and it suggests the analysis by predefined algorithms - but in a practical scenario, businesses need to ask real-time questions, and AI products should be capable of delivering the exact answers. Generic answers may not be effective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Cloud Services integrates well. It has lots of APIs to integrate with other solutions, like the PBX we use from Cisco. The ability to integrate Siebel data with Cisco PBX was nice."
"It supports various APIs and connectors, enabling seamless communication with other systems, including both Oracle products and third-party applications."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"Stable and scalable with good technical support."
"Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally."
"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"It is a stable product."
"We used Salesforce Service Cloud for CRM (customer relationship management) cases and general sales cases."
"The interface is quite user-friendly."
"The main benefit of Salesforce Service Cloud is that everything is in the cloud. We can track the entire customer journey from lead to account or opportunity. The CRM is in the cloud, while the financial transactions are in NetSuite. By integrating these applications, we get a complete view of the business. Some integrations are event-driven, while others are batch integrations that run at scheduled times. We also build reports using our in-house analytics tool to help leadership make decisions."
"The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians."
"The strength lies in its ability to work cohesively with other systems, creating a centralized hub that enhances efficiency and collaboration across various functionalities within our organization."
"It integrates with all our platforms, providing a comprehensive view of the customer."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"The dependency on the dollar makes these products more costly during disruptions in currency parity, especially in countries like Pakistan."
"The vendor must provide a user-friendly mobile application."
"The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) need significant improvement, especially in the older on-premises versions."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"The user experience has to be much better."
"We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product."
"The product's initial setup phase was very difficult."
"Oracle counts users for licensing purposes, regardless of their roles or usage patterns. This process could be better."
"Knowledge Management platform could use some intelligence improvements. Data mining techniques for recommending the most relevant knowledge articles would be beneficial. Currently, that selection process is more administrative. AI could be used here."
"I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited."
"One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention."
"The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper."
"The integrations with other solutions can be improved."
"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved."
"The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great."
"We're seeing a lot of automation and AI enhancements for improvements. This helps answer simple questions without manual intervention, saving time. We can improve by automating more of our solution-building process. Salesforce Service Cloud is a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. It's constantly evolving, and we're always looking for ways to improve our use. The cloud services we use include CRM (Salesforce), financial (NetSuite), and people (Workday). These services are becoming more automated, with a lot happening in the AI space. We do a lot of modeling ourselves to find answers to questions, and our product team has introduced some AI enhancements."
