Learn what your peers think about Oracle CRM. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: February 2025.
837,501 professionals have used our research since 2012.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with Oracle CRM, starting in 2002, about 14 years ago, however, for real customers, it's been only five years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have studied Salesforce and found that in some ways, it is better than Oracle CRM, particularly in functionality, user interface, and customer approach. However, Oracle CRM's integration with Oracle EBS makes it preferable for some clients.
What was our ROI?
Some clients say that there are good functions, however, overall, ROI metrics are based on client feedback rather than detailed statistics.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of Oracle CRM in Vietnam is high, which is a concern. Clients must buy the license once, and if there are updates in the year, they need to buy the new version.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Salesforce is an alternate solution I have considered.
What other advice do I have?
Companies primarily involved in B2B with manufacturing and distribution workflows might benefit from Oracle CRM. However, for B2C models and those focused on make-to-stock processes, I would not recommend it.
I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

This use this solution for automatic tooling.
What is most valuable?
Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases.

This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a stable solution.
How are customer service and support?
The support for this solution is not great. I would rate a three out of five. Our queries have taken a long time to be resolved so we no longer rely on Oracle support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment is much simpler compared to previous versions. It depends on the application and the type of industry that you have deployed in and the level of customization made to your existing application. An application with 5% to 10% customization, may need one or two resources to support 24/7.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented this solution in-house.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
What other advice do I have?
If you are looking for a solution to be deployed on-premise and need a scalable solution for a Silicon Valley, telecon or banking company, I would recommend Oracle. This is because Oracle offers stability, plug and play functionality and integration to billing systems.
If you are looking for solution for a medium-size e-commerce company or OEM, I would recommend Salesforce or SAP. Before deciding on the right solution, it is important to map out all of your requirements and the level of customization needed.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A stable and scalable product that needs to improve its UI
Pros and Cons
- "It is a stable solution."
- "The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
What is our primary use case?
I take care of the deployment part of any IT infrastructure while also getting involved in the integration process of Oracle CRM with any other third-party products.
Oracle CRM is a product that is usually integrated with BI solutions. At times, Oracle CRM is integrated with ERP systems. In general, Oracle CRM is a tool that is not hard to integrate with other products in the market. Every company has to go through a phase of dealing with integrations of every kind of component in their environment.
What is most valuable?
VPN and Oracle Task Management Cloud are areas that are good in the product.
What needs improvement?
Improvements are required around the microservices offered by the product. Improvements are needed in the new kind of microservices of the product. With Oracle CRM, the way you develop the integration to create small pieces of software and for its deployment on Kubernetes or any other cloud service platforms are areas with shortcomings.
The product has a little bit of a problem with its UI area. The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them. Overall, it's a good product, but on the UI side, it could be redesigned with a different JavaScript framework.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Oracle CRM for ten years. I am a system integrator of the product.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution since you can add another server to the cluster.
How are customer service and support?
Though there are a few challenges we face in our company when it comes to the technical support team of the product, overall, I would say that it is okay. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience with Salesforce. I would describe Oracle and Salesforce to be quite similar products, as even the schema parts of both products are almost identical. In general, I found everything in Oracle and Salesforce to be the same.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was not extremely complex, but though it is a very straightforward process, it lies somewhere in the middle of being straightforward and complex.
You just need to get the software and the platform with Linux ready in it and then just deploy it manually. In our company, we don't use automation tools for the product's deployment process.
The product's deployment process can be managed by one person, but there are other people who handle Linux and other networks in an infrastructure.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
What other advice do I have?
Oracle CRM has become an old technology in the market, so most of our company's customers have moved on to products offered by Salesforce.
I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.
I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

The solution’s integrations and user experience should be improved, though it’s a stable solution
Pros and Cons
- "Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
- "Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."
What is most valuable?
Oracle CRM is a stable solution.
What needs improvement?
Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms. Oracle CRM is not a cloud solution; it's an on-prem solution that doesn't integrate with any other system. The solution should also improve its user experience.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Oracle CRM for ten years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Oracle CRM has multiple versions. The recent cloud version has scalability, but the on-prem version requires skills to do the customization. More than 1,000 users are using Oracle CRM in our organization.
How was the initial setup?
Oracle CRM's initial setup has medium complexity.
What about the implementation team?
Oracle CRM's deployment took one month. We follow the software development lifecycle (SDLC) for Oracle CRM's deployment. We start with requirement gathering, solution design, development, the testing phase, and then go live phase.
What was our ROI?
If you take only the Oracle CRM model, there is no return on investment. It starts with capturing a lead quotation and converting the quotation to order. However, the solution lacks user experience.
What other advice do I have?
Oracle technical developers and function skill sets are required for the solution's maintenance and project deployment.
I would not recommend Oracle CRM to other users because it is outdated.
Overall, I rate Oracle CRM a four out of ten.

Overall excellent functionality, good customization, and effective support services
Pros and Cons

The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."

There are additional fees and contracts that are available. We have another contract that gives us support for deployment and improvements to our platforms and one other contract to receive support from our IT provider that has experience with Oracle CRM.
