We wanted a complete sales solution for our team members, clients, vendors, and partners. For our team, we wanted to automate our sales force, ensuring they have the best intelligent solution with AI/ML within the product so that data could be used better and they would get intelligent push notifications. The sales planning and performance management modules helped in planning the entire sales lifecycle. Performance management particularly helped in setting up a benchmark and evaluating the sales team. Customer data management was used where we had an internal business use case where we wanted to understand, store and retrieve customer data to better evolve our relationships by understanding our customers better. Lastly, we wanted to be precise with our quotes. Pricing had to be accurate and customizable for every customer so that customer-centric discounts and offers could be applied. A detailed, searchable database for all quotes helped us in many subsequent deals.
  • Customer data management
  • Pricing and quote management
  • Sales planning and managing performance
  • Automating the sales force
  • Making sense of and organizing customer information
  • Vendor management
  • Integration with other sales software
  • Some features are complex to use for new sales team members and require some user training; hence the product can be more intuitive
  • Perhaps the Oracle CX Sales team could learn from modern UI/UX examples to give the overall product a more modern feel and easy to use interface
  • Customized developments need customized deployment strategies; these are lacking to some extent; maybe DevOps could help here
Excellent as a customer relationship management tool, sales forecasting, building better sales plan for the entire deal lifecycle using critical and complex data, a 360-degree comprehensive view of vendors, partners, customers. Ensuring high standards and consistency is maintained in pricing so that quotes are competitive for prospective customers. At the end of the day, this is an excellent tool for selling and closing deals while being able to access needed information in one place.

The tools used for reports and analytics as BI is strong and great to use also it is not hard[.]

This is a system we use on a regular basis. It’s hugely important for my company to understand customer journeys and how our customers are thinking and working. To [do] this effectively we need systems like this to map the journey and capture exactly how we and others are interacting with them. This system, in particular, is crucial in making this happen and is very easy to use and its interfaces are some of the best in the market. They are a market-leading brand and have huge experience in this area. They produce great products that help companies like mine to ease [their] relationships with clients.
  • Great storage capability
  • Great interface
  • Smooth integration with other systems
  • Cost effective
  • Great user experience
  • Excellent support
  • Needs better visualisation tools
  • Needs to be more future facing
  • Needs to have more global capability
This system would work well across most sectors but especially well for sectors where customer relationships and data collection is paramount. Any cloud-based CRM system is worth its weight in gold if you can get the right data out that will help you service your clients in a better and more informed way. This system in particular allows you to do this in a way that others simply can’t match.

Oracle CX Sales has been used at the company level as there are numerous problems that have been resolved by using this platform. Some of them are:
Self Service: With the knowledge base available, Clients do not need any support from salespeople. They can easily do it through the knowledge base available.
Incident Management: Anyone putting any incident on any social media platform, phone, chat, or SMS informs and manages quickly.
Companies search: The search module for companies gets very easy to search data.
  • Incident management
  • Self service
  • Search module
  • Overview of performance
  • Knowledge base
  • Amazing consumer portal
  • Integration issue with other CRM
  • Figure generated are not always correct
  • OPA is challenging
  • Difficult to navigate accounts
This is generally used where there are many employees in the organisation who are making sales as it is difficult to keep track of everyone, so it can fetch all the data in one place. This is a CRM and used where all information related to sales needs to be stored like leads, pipeline, updates, closure, etc. This also does the implementation process.

We are using Oracle CX Sales (formerly Oracle Engagement Cloud and Oracle Sales Cloud) for strong data lead creation, sales improvement, company data details, customer engagement, and customer contact detail updating. We can create a sales pipeline, task, all user sales activities report, and automation for old sales data updating. Other than slow page load and data load, Oracle has been an outstanding tool.
  • AI features--we can automate tasks, generate leads, and create invoices and sales inquiries.
  • Business intelligence reliability and capabilities are very good
  • We can gather sales insight, which will be very useful for forecasting
  • We cannot integrate a dialer tool with Oracle CX Sales (formerly Oracle Engagement Cloud and Oracle Sales Cloud)
  • Bit of an overly complicated product
  • Outlook integration is lacking reliability and user acceptance
We implemented this on the company and we believe that it has generated many good things for us internally at the end of sales. It allows us to track the progress of our business development--economic as well as products that we offer to our customers. Being able to properly access maintenance records and employees working on individual projects has significantly improved time management.

Oracle CX Sales helps the business process management part of our organization. Here entire processes have been outsourced to us by the client. So we need to track, monitor, and respond to customer request[s] across multiple touchpoints, understand the customer sentiment in real-time to understand if there is a change in strategy, and a lot more. Oracle CX Sales helps put our agents on steroids as it provides them with all the relevant information on one screen and a brilliant search capability to quickly find the information.
  • Keeping track of customer interactions across different channels
  • Real time sentiment analysis
  • Knowledge management using AI to show relevant content to the agent to quickly solve the customer concern
  • Custom training of ML algorithms is limited
  • User Interface needs to be more intuitive
  • Limited options to integrate with existing third-party CRM software
Oracle CX Sales is more suited for organizations who are planning to completely migrate their CRMs or who are just starting their CRM journey. Since integrations are limited with external software, using Oracle CX Sales can be challenging. Also, in my personal opinion, B2C companies with a large customer base or daily transactions will benefit the most by Oracle CX Sales.

We are using this system to solve the issue of managing multiple clients and contacts. When employees leave usually their data and history with that customer leaves with them. We bought into a CRM to help change that. We wanted one place for all information about relationships, history and potential work with a client.
  • House all of our data
  • Accessible from anywhere
  • Extremely difficult to use with little to no training documentation. We had to hire a third party company just to use the software.
  • Outlook app causes so many issues that we had to uninstall it on everyone's computers.
  • Creating reports is complicated due to the huge number of tables.
  • Doesn't work for construction jobs, more made for selling parts.
  • This product may work well for selling parts
  • This product does not work well for construction and I would never recomend it for that.
  • Our business is too small to use Oracle because you have to customize it so heavily to work for your organization. That can be good if you know exactly how you want it to work. We needed an out of the box solution.

We use Oracle Engagement Cloud to track all inbound and outbound freight orders in real time for all of our customers. It is our basis where we can calculate our sales numbers as well as our profit per product. Our sales team is driven by how effectively they can reach their incentives quarter to quarter. By tracking our sales in real time, the sales reps are able to accurately forecast how well there time is being used prospecting new customers and managing current books of business.
  • Each time we've had a hurdle, we were given internal assistance to ensure we were not left alone.
  • It is easily customizable to add and subtract anything you see fit (we've added additional filters down to the zip code, state, rep's name, etc. to filter through data most effectively.
  • There is no lag in the system. If you see it there, it is tracked in real time.
  • I would like to see more integration with other CRMs such as Salesforce.
  • We have each business unit built into Salesforce and it can track the amount of gross profit that flows through our Oracle database. It then further it trickles to each sales rep and what they've closed during their time at the company. These figures are not always accurate.
  • It be difficult navigating to accounts and drilling down into each specific customer to understand details.
If you are a smaller start up, I'm not sure you will find this as helpful. I believe Oracle Engagement Cloud is better used when it is across an entire organization. You can set up every business unit with their own login and decide what authority they will have vs. what they will not. Each department can then from that point navigate the Cloud their own unique way to gauge how effective the business is within itself.

Oracle Engagement Cloud is used by our Sales teams and Marketing team. We use this as our CRM and currently have a basic integration into Eloqua.
  • As long as you don't personalize it is fairly intuitive
  • The objects were a little hard to get used to, but now we have established processes for Leads and Opportunities
  • Rely on how the tool was designed and it will be more successful
  • There are so many clicks to get through the objects and create the activities.
  • The monthly and quarterly updates have created substantially more mait. from our TECH team than what was expected
  • With our company we have many service offerings, we expect to be able to market at a personalized level. How we can easily see in the tool what service offerings are applicable to an Account/Contact should be easier.
Only being in it in a year, we are still learning how to function in a cloud based environment. Oracle shares road maps, but those road maps don't always show what actually can be done right now. This has caused some frustration.

We implement and fix current setups of Oracle Sales Cloud/Engagement Cloud for many different businesses. We also use it internally for sales purposes. It allows us to track the progress of our business.
  • They fully customized multiple layouts that can show under certain conditions or security roles.
  • They have fantastic customization features that allow clients to tailor the look to their business.
  • It gives the user the ability to code a lot of additional configurations.
  • Create an easier user interface for security jobs/roles in terms of assigning capabilities and visibility.
  • Allow for more distinction between customized fields when adding them to layouts.
  • Provide quicker export/import functionality.
It is suited for businesses that have more technical people to maintain the environment. It is not very appropriate for companies that require heavy reporting on a lot of data.

We use OEC to manage our Sales Force as our CRM. It is being used across various departments, both in sales & service.
  • Contact/Account creation and management.
  • Working the sales pipeline
  • Using activities to track prospect movement.
  • Scrubbing is weak.
  • Integration with other tools & platforms is weak
  • Whenever new releases take place, they often break other plugins or company-generated fields.
Our biggest challenges arise from :
1/ Our sales folks usage of the system and data scrubbing, and
2/ When Oracle pushes an update it seems to break either plug-ins or customizations (fields, etc).
...and they don't seem to notify us adequately that these breaking changes are coming.

Oracle Sales Cloud is used by both our Inside and Outside Sales teams. We use it for tracking leads and opportunities, and also for monitoring how many of those leads and opportunities are converted to sales. In addition, we use it as best we can for managing and keeping track of our demo units.
  • The product is good for tracking leads which can help you acquire new customers.
  • The product is good for creating opportunities which can help you convert sales.
  • The product can easily be integrated with other applications to make the transfer of data seamless.
  • Although not necessarily designed for it, our sales team finds it difficult to use the product for tracking demo units.
  • The mobile version of the application falls very short. Our IT department fields a lot of complaints regarding its functionality.
  • Following application upgrades - which are frequent - we often have to rebuild some of the custom screens we created.
The intended functionality of the application is designed well. Tracking leads and opportunities is easy so long as the users don't try to make the application behave in a way it was not designed. For instance, our sales team tries to use it for tracking demo models, but if falls short in this department.

Oracle Sales Cloud is being used by our remote sales people handling our larger client sized population. It enabled them access to critical information about their clients, partners and prospects in a mobile, modern and intuitive format.
  • The mobile version is very user-friendly
  • The user interface of the browser version is very modern
  • Both user interfaces are very intuitive
  • There could be more features focused on automation
  • There could be more embedded analytics out of the box - though Oracle is starting a new program to help with that
  • The territory management module could be more robust
OSC is very well suited to a simple sales model. It struggles with a more complicated relationship structure - but most SFA's do.

We implement Oracle Sales Cloud for clients who desire to increase the visibility and manageability of their sales pipeline. With a robust offering of pre-built reports and the ability to create powerful custom reports, our clients have been able to identify soft areas and put practices into place to reduce the sales process time, leverage best practices, and scale more efficiently. Oracle Sales Cloud also brings teams together and allows better collaboration and communication with a single cloud platform.

One word of advice, make sure to work with Oracle to fine-tune your environment usage needs so that they can ensure your environment runs as quickly as possible. Accepted page load times are at least 3 seconds. While pages usually load more quickly than that, a lot of traffic can slow the system. Oracle Support will work with you to make sure your page load time is optimal.
  • Enables customers to customize their sales process(es) and provides Sales Coach functionality to assist the Sales Stage completion requirements and spread of best practices.
  • Affords great visibility for management of the sales process with Infolets and robust BI Analytics tools. Data can be accessed and analyzed from the online Dashboard, object tabs, and on mobile devices.
  • Territory Management makes it easy for organizations with a large sales team to define, assign, manage, and report.
  • The NEW Enterprise Mobile application makes working away from the desk easier than ever. With voice-activated functionality and off-line accessibility, sales reps can spend more time in the field with clients and less in the office.
  • Set-up, configuring and onboarding can be overwhelming. Unless you've had experience setting up a CRM solution, you'll most likely need to invest in a partner helping set up and maximize the system.
  • While Oracle has been focused on infiltrating the SMB market, the cost and complication of just going live in the system can be daunting for small and emerging businesses.
  • The speed of the system can be slow. Oracle has acknowledged this and has made strides in improving it. They will work with clients to speed up the system, but this is a cumbersome and frustrating exercise.
I think it would be a great tool for SMB companies looking to scale. By leveraging out of the box processes, they can efficiently and quickly scale.

For more mid-market and enterprise clients, the solution is customizable and secure enough to meet the most demanding requirements.

Overall, if you have a growing or large sales team that you want to manage and lead more effectively, Oracle Sales Cloud provides the tools and resources for your team to spend more time focusing on the client and closing deals.

We use Oracle Sales cloud to track progress of a deal coming together, project milestones, as well as the source of our customer data for e-mail campaigns. It has greatly improved our billing and sales support processes. Our Account Managers are easily able to pull out historical sales data to identify future opportunities using the native reporting tool.
  • Territory Management, it is relatively flexible but very powerful. It can be used as a security measure and is a foundation for more complex pillars of the application.
  • Customizations - spinning up a custom object or creating a custom field could not be easier.
  • Reporting - the reporting tool is great, the custom subject areas and joins are easy to build, and it is an end user-friendly tool.
  • Security - depending on the use case, it can be complex to make sweeping changes to the security model.
  • Workflows - the trigger points and the construction have some limitations that require some scripting to overcome.
  • Organizing setup tasks - Natively, there's access to many different setup parts of the application, and due to the fusion model, a lot of these are unused pillars of the application and can cause confusion. Oracle is making strides in this area very recently.
The tool meets the generic CRM use case really well, customers with longer sales cycles or large customer bases see the greatest benefit. With the applications native mobility, it makes it suitable for any type of customer. Perhaps, some of the more complex sales models, namely dealer related use cases where the end customer isn't clear, it is harder to derive value.

We're in the process of replacing Oracle CRM OnDemand with Oracle Sales Cloud OSC). The newer platform seems to be a step in the right direction. We're using it for general salesforce automation, forecasting, and revenue attribution, as well as contact and account management. I'm in Marketing Ops, so my perspective is probably skewed more heavily towards lead management, conversion, and pipeline measurement/management.
  • Comparatively speaking, OSC's interface does a good job in organizing objects. The home page layout is logical and intuitive, making it easy for even new users to navigate where they want to go.
  • Mobile Interface - we're coming over from Oracle CRM On Demand, so the very fact that our users can leverage a mobile app is a huge plus.
  • Object layouts are another plus - rather than cramming too much information on any one screen, having the ability to group like data sets in tabs is helpful, ensuring users can get to the info they need without having to sift through troves of data they don't care about.
  • The lack of native campaigns is concerning. We marketers live and die by out campaigns (it's our view of the world), so not having a native campaign object to sync to from our marketing automation platform has caused some issues. Our integrator is helping us work through them, but the lack of a campaign object seems like a big miss to me.
  • Speed (load times) seem slower than other CRMs, but as we are still testing, this may be a temporary issue. I'd consult others to confirm or refute this.
Oracle Sales Cloud seems well suited for organizations not ready to jump into the salesforce.com ocean. It allows for customization and is far more user-friendly than older platforms (i.e., CRM On Demand), but it doesn't seem to fully account for all groups within the company (i.e., lack of an actual campaign object).

It is being used for prospects, leads and opportunity tracking. Our sales team uses it heavily. We also implement it for our customers.
  • Browser based.
  • Easy to configure, no need to be a developer.
  • Frequent upgrades available.
  • They have added a service piece that is still maturing for B2B or blended sales/service organizations.
  • They have incorporated the best of breed knowledge from their service cloud, but there are some features that are not available yet (but they are on the roadmap).
Oracle Sales Cloud is well suited in SMB, Mid-Market and Enterprise businesses. It is extremely flexible and scalable. The biggest benefit is that it is part of Oracle’s suite of cloud products that work well together.

We have implemented Oracle Sales Cloud Release 10 to 12 for a healthcare client on east coast. Sales Cloud is used by roughly 50+ employees across the team. It's worth mentioning that they already used the whole host of other Oracle Fusion apps such as Finances, HCM and Sales cloud with the web as well as mobile apps. The Sales cloud is used from the VP to the sales reps and it allows them to keep track of all sales activities and have great analytics at the same time.
  • As it is for any Fusion apps, Sales Cloud comes bundled with Social which is great to have for sales teams who communicate a lot internally.
  • Fantastic analytics capabilities. Not only in terms of reports but also in terms of very interactive charts and visual components like Infolets.
  • Customizable. For three different roles, we have three different dashboards which are completely custom made to ensure that each user sees the data relevant to them.
  • A very solid solution with a lot of advanced features.
  • Sales Cloud seamlessly integrates with other Fusion apps such as finance, PBCS, HCM.
  • It's extremely complicated to implement yourself. From a client's perspective, this could mean additional budget to hire a big team to successfully implement the product.
  • Sales Cloud has an awful amount of bugs.
  • Oracle Support which won't help you even if there is a critical production issue.
  • Difficulty in importing the data. This is especially a challenge if you have it in a huge amount.
If you need a single solution that can be used not only by your executive team but also your sales reps and everyone else in between, Oracle Sales Cloud is a great option to go with. If you happen to have other Oracle Systems such as Fusion HCM/CRM/PBCS, it will only be logical to add this instead of any other application since they all integrate so well.

We use Oracle Sales Cloud mainly for its CRM capabilities. It is used by several departments throughout the organization such as Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, etc. The main business problem it addresses is helping us identify leads, track their behavior and engagement with the company across multiple channels, and manage the sales cycle.
  • Provides leads for Oracle Eloqua.
  • Tracks a lead's engagement with the company across multiple channels.
  • Helps us identify the best time to engage with a lead.
  • Glitches and bugs.
  • The integrated Oracle Social Network sometimes doesn't work on certain browsers.
The main reason we like Oracle Sales Cloud is because it is integrated with multiple other products that we use in order to effectively conduct business. The lead generation and tracking is also very valuable, and as it is a CRM system I would think that it would be appropriate for any company since everyone has clients and would benefit from a CRM system.

Oracle CRM is being used by our Sales team and a small group of Executives to manage our customers. We also use it to create metrics reports for the sales team to hold them accountable and track sales commission. We have also integrated customer sales data from our JDE system to allow for a one stop data warehouse for our customer information. This allows the sales team to have all the information they need at their fingertips, and it also allows them to enter and track their sales pipeline though the opportunity process. Our marketing team uses CRM to log interactions they have had with the customer, which allows the sales manager to know of any issues related to the account.
  • I feel like CRM is pretty intuitive for the user as it is a point and click product. It also gives the user some flexibility in customizing the layouts of their pages so that the information is in the order they need it.
  • From an Admin perspective, it is pretty easy to customize as far as the field types, field names, color scheme, page layouts, etc. I did not have an IT background when I started with Oracle CRM, and I was able to learn pretty quickly.
  • If you are proficient in Java and HTML, you can pretty much customize the CRM product as much as you want with applets, buttons, integration with other internal websites, such as SharePoint.
  • The reporting area is pretty robust since it allows you to combine subject areas into one report, and offers many different layout options such as pivot tables, charts, graphs, narrative views (for documents), and dynamic dashboards.
  • Reports that are complex with custom tables, large amounts of information, and multiple filters can take a long time to run for the users.
  • Would like to see easier ways to customize without using Java and HTML.
I think it is well suited to a medium to larger size company to help manage customers, especially when sales managers are changing territories. This allows them to have all the background information on their new customers in one place. I think it may be overkill and too cumbersome for a smaller company (10 or less users). Following are some important questions to ask: Do you have a way to integrate data from outside systems, is there a record number or file storage allotment, how do you manage/delete old/outdated information, do you have an automated process for assigning accounts/leads, and how easy or hard is it to customize?
