[Oracle Service (formerly Oracle Service Cloud) allows for] one single platform with the power of customer service systems and contact center apps that facilitate web, social and customer contact center services in a single workspace so that the marketing and customer support teams doesn't need to invest in several other applications in order to be able to manage the support efforts.
  • We can access the best-in-class features for cross-channel contact center management amd field service management.
  • It provides a great way to mobilize agents and boost collaboration within the office which in turn improves the overall customer experience.
  • Automation of back of the office repetitive tasks leading to a faster way of addressing customer concerns.
  • The process of customizing the program and creating segments is complex and it takes some time to get used.
  • Updating users when the sytem is scheduled for maintenance
  • Users may need to have technical knowledge to use the features fully.
Oracle Service [(formerly Oracle Service Cloud)] is well suited for cross-channel contact center service which includes live chats, virtual assistants, email support and case management. It has a social tool that keeps tabs on your customer interactions within your social media platforms and your website. You can provide your customers with a knowledge base for self-service with information that they need by posting content and resources.

We use Oracle Service Cloud for all of our customer interactions, field dispatch, and ordering. This allows our users to search quickly for information and gain valuable metric information via reporting. We also use the email functionality which is helpful for tracking interactions from start to finish.
  • Searching
  • Report customization
  • Automation
  • Better email (tech mail) customization options
  • Better order management integration
  • Different ways of associating contacts to multiple accounts
Service cloud is great at tracking data, but sometimes the data can be overwhelming and the user has to do a lot of work on the front end to make sure the data is correct. Customizations should be easier for companies without having to hire an Oracle expert to do all of the work for you.

We uses Oracle Service Cloud for handling customer service, meaning that all emails and calls are logged in Service Cloud.
  • Great overview
  • Works well with Oracle CC&B
  • No great solution for handling CC recipients on the emails sent in to Service Cloud. You need a custom report in order to easily see if any recipients are CC'd.
It has a huge amount of functionalities but it's still manageable and it's possible to manage and develop in house.

While we implement Oracle Service Cloud we also use it for tracking opportunities, projects, support request, and website requests. We use the portal side of OSVC to display our company website, display knowledge about our company and accept request from customers. The whole organization is using the tool and it provides our overall CRM solution.
  • Oracle Service cloud handles incident management extremely well. It can accept requests from multiple channels. That includes email, website, phone, chat, SMS & some social.
  • Oracle Service cloud provides a knowledge base that can be used by customers or by agents. It can move consumers to self service for most issues. It also has good feedback from customers and agents so that the knowledge can continue to be updated to push people to more self service.
  • Oracle has a good consumer portal that can be used as a website or typically is used in conjunction with a main website as a contact center or help center site. This allows the contact center to manage both the knowledge and the request and the interactions with the customers.
  • Oracle Service cloud is built to provide a turn key solution for CRM/Contact center with some minor configuration. But it also has the ability to be highly customized to meet any companies needs. Much of that work can be done via the configuration options already in the system. It also have a full set of SOAP and Rest APIs for integrating to other systems.
  • Oracle Service Cloud needs a better built in integration with Oracle Social Cloud or it needs to build in more Social network capabilities.
  • SMS is handle via a third party application but could be built in as part of the product.
  • The knowledge foundation product needs a better way to handle multiple languages. Currently you have to purchase an additional interface for each language. You can purchase the more expensive Knowledge Advance which does have a better language feature.
Oracle Service Cloud is well suited for a business to consumer contact center. It can handle large volumes and millions of transactions. I have seen contact centers with 2000 agents but it can also work well for a small contact center with 10 to 50 agents. With integration with a VOIP phone system - additional automation can be incorporated in to the system. There are multiple ways to automate agent tasks to make handling an incoming incident as efficient as possible.

Our organization uses Oracle Service Cloud to manage and interact with our client data, manage transactions, and gather insight for our operations teams. The difference between OSC and our previous customer management tools has been night and day. Oracle Service Cloud allows for seamless customization, complex automation, and a simplified user experience -- all of which drastically improves our handle times, our accuracy, and our client satisfaction ratings.
  • Complex automation allows users to spend their time on what matters
  • Seamless integrations allow for a simplified single-session user experience
  • Increased processing speeds and customizable UI creates a smooth and natural flow for users
  • The email management functionality could use some attention; especially around managing replies from multiple parties
  • There are a handful of limitations in terms of automation rules and UI workflows
If you're looking to streamline your process flows, prevent user errors through automation, and design your user experience to reside in a single seamless session, Oracle Service Cloud is the way to go.

Oracle Service Cloud is being used as an end-user support tool in the technical support department at our company. It allows technicians to more easily connect with our patients, address their concerns, route date to R&D and even ship replacement product if needed.
  • OSC allows for an in-depth interview process which enhances patient satisfaction.
  • OSC follows a logical flow to lead the technician to an appropriate diagnosis and allows for customer diagnostics should the need arise.
  • OSC has the ability to draw from other integrated systems for information that we may need to facilitate quick, efficient call control.
  • OSC advises users with easy to read dialog boxes and other activity information.
  • OSC relies heavily on network information for travel which can at times be inconvenient.
  • OSC integration with third-party products is a bit iffy when compared to other solutions.
  • OSC required a lot of third-party custom code at the beginning of our implementation.
Oracle Service Cloud is optimized for:
  • Helpdesk Ticketing
  • Call Center Environments
  • Customer Patient Interview processes

Oracle Service Cloud is used in our organization mainly by the contact center (although other service providers, such as customer success managers) also use the standalone co-browse module to assist our customers. Service Cloud allows us to offer a chat channel to our customers and to measure the success and efficiency of this channel.
  • Captures a lot of data - the information helps management understand customer sentiment, peak hours, and agent behavior
  • Can be configured and customized heavily
  • The .NET desktop agent desktop is pretty clunky (installation issues, really outdated UI, performance issues if you do too much customization). I recommend you use the Browser User Interface instead for a more modern experience for your agents and admins (Oracle seems to be trying to add the entire feature set from the desktop version to the browser version of their agent-facing product, but it's not all there yet)
  • Oracle Support is difficult and cumbersome. You will have an uphill battle on your hands any time you need assistance (and since the product is so customizable and complex, you WILL need assistance!)
  • May be a bit of a repeat, but this is a complicated beast of a product. There are black boxes littered all over the place. And you can see the "seams" where they've stitched together applications they acquired. Some modules are very clean and intuitive while others are stuck in the dark ages. The onus will be on you as the customer to learn how to wield the application.
If you're wanting a multi-channel (chat, knowledge base/self service, ticketing) solution all from one product, and you have some dedicated resources or a lot you can spend on professional services, and if you prioritize data over the end-user and agent experience, this might be a reasonable product.
But if you just need a product that provides one or two new channels, I think there are other products that can do those jobs better.

It is being used mainly by Customer service representatives and operations support specialists; a small portion of people in the sales team use it. One of the main things we use it, for now, is other channels of communications with our customers such as self-help, chat, ask a question and email.
  • Every business is unique in many ways but especially on internal processes Oracle Service Cloud can adapt to pretty much every need you can imagine
  • Somethings require development but regular tech support doesn't help on developments or customer customizations
  • As it gets bigger and bigger a lot of great things become "add-on" items available for purchase with your contract
Definitely, self-help, chat, knowledge base, and reporting are great. Not so happy about their co-browse feature (it's laggy and it gets stuck). It also doesn't have any out of the box telephony system integration for screen pop messages while the phone rings or reports [which] ties up phone call duration with call category; it exists but is an add-on item that as far as I know is contracted with a third party provider.

As partners, we implement Oracle Service Cloud for a variety of customers from different verticals. Typically, most of our implementations for our core customers are done in the Americas in the whole of organizations and expanded out globally.

Organizations use Oracle Service Cloud for agents taking calls by phone, email or chat while integrating the application with a variety of integration assets giving a 360-degree view of applications. Also, many organizational implementations from my end have taken full advantage of a Customer Portal that provides a self-serve feature.
  • Key Strength: Provides a rich SAAS application that allows an organization to have a self sustained CRM application; Rich workspace and workflow components; Provides rich survey creation tools; 100% integration with voice, chat and email;
  • Provides ability to build rich integrations with a variety of assets within an organization. BUI or Agent Desktop -an application that sits within the firewall provides unique ability to add "add-on" feature to the product to provide rich agent experience.
  • Uses common industry standard technology APIs such as .NET, PHP, REST, SOAP and many more. What does this mean? This means - easy availability of skill sets and easy maintenance of the application. Oracle Service Cloud does not use any proprietary technology unlike Salesforce or other cloud products.
  • Inbuilt CTI adapters could be very helpful for customers. This will prevent customers having to engage 3rd party vendors to build CTI tools.
  • Workflows can be cached and can run much faster.
  • Custom Process Model - can be more "programmer" friendly than how it is today. This can be developed in a more wizard-based "declarative" programming approach.
Oracle Service Cloud is an excellent tool for CX and particularly as a tool for agents. Oracle Service Cloud is cloud-based but at the same time provides a very rich UI experience. This is also a very good tool for CX that targets self-serve portals that provides the ability to knowledge search and deflection.

Oracle Service Cloud is not a well-suited tool for sales yet.

  • The Knowledgebase searching capabilities were much better than the previous system we used. In addition to searching the body of the answer, it will also search the first several hundred unique words of the attachments.
  • The software is very flexible. Almost everything is customizable.
  • You can get very detailed reports concerning which answers and attachments are looked at, and by which customers, each month. This data is only kept for 30 days, but you can setup rules to automatically export the reports to files that can be emailed.
  • Customers can "subscribe" to get notified if a specific answer gets updated, or anything in a particular category is created or updated. When you update an answer, you can decide if you want to generate a notification to subscribed customers. For example, if you are just changing the grammar, you won't want a notification to go out.
  • You can easily add links to other answers within your answer. This prevents you from having to duplicate information in various related answers.
  • The Knowledgebase has a feature where it will suggest other related answers for you to look at. The problem is that there is no way to limit the suggestions to the category you are currently in. For instance, if the customer is looking at notebook computer answers, the system will suggest answers in a server or modem category. This caused a problem for us because when customers were looking at answers related to a current product, RightNow would recommend answers that were associated with legacy products we no longer sold and thus didn't want to advertise. Because we could not limit suggested answers to the same category, even after consulting with RightNow experts, we had to turn this feature off.
  • RightNow has a lot of great reports that show answer statistics -- how many times each answer has been viewed each day/week/month, etc (however you configure the report). However, they don't have a way to add an IP address range to ignore, or a company name to ignore, so that you can filter out internal company views. We wanted to know how many customers viewed answers vs seeing reports that lumped our support personnel statistics in with customer statistics.
  • RightNow doesn't automatically filter out SPAM IP addresses in their reports or access counts. We suddenly noticed that the numbers on our statistical reports had increased from previous months. When I explored the huge increase with RightNow, I found out that known spammers had been hitting our site. Rather than RightNow filtering out the IPs at a corporate level, each customer has to monitor for spamming hits and individually enter in the IP addresses into their configuration software to get them excluded. We were frustrated because this requirement/process was not communicated to us when we started using the software. Thus, we had a couple months of useless statistical data (RightNow was unable to go back and filter the spammer data from our reports. However, they did give us a credit on our monthly usage).
  • As an administrator of our Knowledgebase, I wanted to be notified whenever anybody edited an answer, vs just getting a notice when a new answer was created. RightNow support engineers told me this was not possible, so I had to manually scan reports a couple of times a month to see which answers changed. I wish there had been a way to get an automatic notification the same day an answer was changed so that I could review it in a timely manner.
What is the start-up process like? RightNow recommended that we work with a consultant to get our initial training and configuration advice to save money. Later we purchased a few hours with a RightNow expert concerning some of our configuration challenges. I wish we had worked with RightNow experts vs the consultants from the beginning as they were much more Knowledgable.
