Oracle's integrated Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution is a set of applications that give users information-driven sales, service, and marketing. Oracle CRM is built on an open, standards-based architecture to streamline business processes, improve data quality, and allow key divisions to draw from the same source of data.

SAP Sales Cloud (formerly SAP Cloud for Sales) is a cloud sales application with sales automation, enterprise resource planning (ERP) integration, and collaboration capabilities.
Oracle CRM is reliable and it fits well in a scenario where a company aims to grow their customer base and improve their relationship with their clients and ensure that all customer services are offered in an efficient manner. Oracle CRM is accessible from any device and this ensures easy usage of the platform and assure all staff to execute their various business processes.
For a large organization Sales Cloud is perfect. If you have a large sales force and need to ensure the maximum productivity, implementing Sales Cloud would be the ideal thing. You will be able monitor each and every employees performances and track their performance growth whilst maintaining the leads vs conversions. Their personal target achievements, unit targets all can be defined and also management is able to monitor all these at a glance. You can manage your costs, prepare reports, define operational process with ease. It will be a less appropriate if you are looking to customize the product alot.
Several of our members were not familiar with various IT functions within CRM prior to working with it and so they were able to develop a working knowledge of IT pretty quickly afterwards.
It has a familiar feel to it as it allows users to work the data into a spreadsheet type layout with pivot tables and graphs and so it is quick to adopt.
Customization is great with a working knowledge of HTML, which isn't too hard to learn. You can really adapt CRM to any needs stylistically or content wise.
This is very useful for users who do not want to open 3 4 links for each app related to CRM.
I like the automated authorization system which has also simplified authorization management and supports multi-tenant cloud deployments among cloud service providers.
It is more efficient than the "old-fashioned" method of paper contracts, printing, signing and writing to PDF.
Oracle CRM is incredibly complex making it fairly difficult to learn from scratch
The original implementation of Oracle CRM was a lengthy and involved process
We have had outages where we cannot connect to Oracle CRM which leaves us at a loss. I'm not sure what the solution to this is, but less outages would be ideal.
Their customer support is very difficult to reach out to - there needs to be a better option to chat with customer support than to constantly be transferred to different departments.
The help pages could be more informational and user friendly.
I know what SAP CRM can do in the future. We are very happy with the product and think it is a great choice for both SAP ERP users and even those who do not use other SAP products. We have both Salesforce and SAP CRM, and we feel that Salesforce is a good product for a few years, but SAP CRM is a more fully-featured product and is a better choice for complex organizations capable of running installed software of this complexity. It is often just a question of budget.
I give this rating because I personally don't have any difficulty using the system. I didn't have any difficulty learning the system either. I know that in my position I am taking complaints from users who are having issues with the oracle sites but most of the time it is user error or a technical issue and they need to be using it in the best way possible. I do think it is one of the easiest sites for applying online and hiring candidates. In my 10 years of dealing with so many other recruiting and career sites like Kenexa Brassring, Erecruit or Peoplesoft, I don't recommend any of those at all. Oracle CRM/Taleo is by far the easiest site for applicants to apply, the easiest site for recruiters to hire and the easiest site to manage your hires.
In short, SAP CRM is a complete service that will help improve marketing strategy and productivity. It covers various topics, from big data analytics to resource management and housing sales data. SAP CRM has a long list of features and can do them all.
I give this rating because we have had no issues in the area of the product's overall availability. In my opinion the resources are there when we need them and the features serve the purpose they are set to do. I feel things have gone really well as far as the availability of the product.
I give this rating because I don't have any complaints in the area of performance. In my opinion the product's performance is right on the mark. In comparison to other systems I have used for the same purpose - recruiting, hiring and managing hires, I have found Oracle's performance to be the best. Oracle system flows better than any other recruiting system out there.
Generally, if you log an SR, it will get resolved rather quickly. If they need to contact you for more information, the resolution process gets drug out because you have to usually go back and forth with several messages. Some customization involving web-links, java script, and HTML, Oracle does not officially support, so they will not assist you if your links stop working.
SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.
It was a great training tool and provided all of the necessary information we needed to implement the sites for our clients. We were provided with a great deal of resources in regards to Oracle CRM. We didn't have any issues with the training at all. The only thing I would say would that there could be more FAQ's for users to read through
Training was mostly completed over a couple conference calls, and reading the API documentation. Our developers were able to implement quickly after reading the documentation.
If you have never used a CRM program is is hard to know exactly what you need. We had lots of changes during implementation and even more afterward once the users started working in it everyday. Also the partner we used didn't inform us about Allotments and not being able to Batch delete custom objects (you can now in recent releases). There were so many unknowns, that if I had it to do over, I would educate myself more and ask more questions of the partner that we used for implementation.
I have used PowerHelp in the past for field service and contact center applications with a startup company and it had proved extremely flexible for process accommodation. I was not part of the selection team who evaluated and chose the CRM for Diebold, though I am fairly certain that it was an Enterprise software decision more than a module-driven choice.
The main reason we decided to change the service is that the one we had previously had flaws in some of its functionalities such as sending email marketing and that is why we decided to make a change and adopt a new service to eliminate any persistent problems. Before acquiring "SAP CRM", we first evaluated all its functionalities and it seemed like a very good alternative since it has everything we need to address various job roles within our company.
In my opinion I rate this high because we have had no issues in this area and so that is why I give it such a high rating. There is no issue with the product's overall scalability. In my opinion this has been a positive from my team and client's view.
The platform is simple to use in many departments, and performance can be monitored effectively. The majority of channels have been digitalized, which has boosted output and enhanced consumer experiences. The majority of applications from different departments have been integrated with the ERP system, which has improved teamwork and standardized processes. Sales representatives may go deeper and give potential customers the most helpful information by monitoring performance.
Until a certain point in time, the solution was responsive and provided support for productive work. With more integrations and a growing product base, the application started to be barely usable due to delays (excessive response times) and prolonged the product configuration tasks.
