Oracle SRM is being used by our Social Media Marketing team. They are using it to fine-tune how our brand is being publicized, and personalizing content based on target audiences. Although the marketing team is making full-use of Oracle SRM, there are many employees across our organization that also spend the time to interact with users on our social media outlets. This allows us to not only tweak our SRM to our social media analytics, but also from the feedback of our colleagues.
  • Engagement Monitoring. Oracle SRM supports all of the mainstream social media platforms for engagement analytics.
  • Cross-Platform Content Publishing. Creating and scheduling posts across multiple social media platforms is quick and easy.
  • Support for Regional Languages. Not only does SRM support all of the international languages that come to mind, it also supports many regional languages like Bengali and Telugu. It becomes convenient to globalize our content that we put out there.
  • Basic UI. User-interface is ok...It does the job, but I would like to see a refreshed version.
  • Topic Explorer does not have Quick Search functionality.
  • Oracle Service Cloud isn't possible to be integrated with Oracle SRM.
Oracle SRM is much more expensive than most of its competitors, making it only a possibility for Enterprise-level organizations. That said, Oracle SRM offers the most features compared to all other SRM products based on my own experience. For medium-sized companies and lower, I would probably go for a cheaper SRM like Hootsuite.

Oracle SRM was used by one business unit in our company. The team managing it was centralized in the US, but had some users in UK, EU and APAC as well. However it was always for a global customer base.
  • User friendly - first time I started using it, I didn't need a lengthy onboarding process.
  • Intuitive - the more times I used it, the more I became convinced that it is a great match for what my tasks were.
  • Secure - whenever I opened the link to the SRM, it always prompted me for a password login, which made me trust the system.
  • The menu bar was at times confusing.
  • Preview of social media posts could be a bit more interactive.
  • Design of the platform was very simplistic.
It works best if users or collaborators of the platform and social media efforts had a strong relationship. If it's a tool that's not adopted by all stakeholders, it defeats the purpose of it simplifying tasks.

Oracle SRM was used in an attempt to solve the social ROI problem in the NA Commercial Marketing department. However, the product did not deliver what we expected.
  • SRM allowed us to tag all social content to Eloqua campaigns and track known-user interaction on the posts.
  • The SRM publishing feature allowed us to publish content seamlessly to multiple networks.
  • The media mixer solution was a quick, easy, and polished solution for event social displays.
  • Understanding the relationship between SRM and Eloqua can be very complicated. Unfortunately the SRM team did not have an Eloqua expert who could clarify answers to very important questions that we had regarding the technicalities of the software.
  • The user interface for the engagement and listening module within SRM is not as user-friendly as that of competing products.
Oracle Social Relationship Management (SRM) may work for you, primarily if your organization uses Eloqua as a marketing automation system. However, I would recommend looking into other tools.

SRM is used to publish and moderate social content, publish and moderate social/marketing contests, assign and monitor social media customer service incidents and monitor/report social media analytics for our Facebook, Google+ and Twitter accounts across several brands. Overall SRM management is primarily a marketing function, however, there are a few customer service agents who have access to the Engage module for managing social media customer service incidents.
  • SRM is an enterprise level tool which allows for multiple important marketing and social media functions to be managed in one platform. It's great to have access to staff management, content creation, contest creation and analytics tools in one platform.
  • SRM is relatively easy to learn and use; I have trained other users specifically on how to use Engage and our agents found the interface easy to use.
  • SRM allows you to create, launch or schedule one piece of social content for multiple social platforms; much nicer than having to create content for individual platforms.
  • I sometimes find it difficult to find answers to questions when using Oracle Help; I have had good results using the support ticket system...working with support agents.
  • Because this is an enterprise level application, there are many modules with many functions. It takes time to ramp up and become proficient in all modules. That's not to say there are issues with the platform; simply an observation on how robust it is.
  • I would have liked more and better training and more proactive account support.

Oracle Social Relationship Management (SRM) is being used across our organization, between marketing, PR and our contact center. It addresses a variety of business problems for us: access management for our social media accounts, consolidates content into one main calendar versus multiple, allows agency partners to access our accounts, and streamlines reporting across the regional marketing team, to name a few.
  • Ease of reporting. Allows us to pull reports by network or by campaign quickly. This used to be a manual process that would take upwards of 8 hours per month.
  • Real-time social media monitoring, with virtually no spam. Other providers struggle to remove spam content from their social monitoring results which makes sifting through mentions cumbersome.
  • Integration into other tools. Being able to integrate other Oracle products like Eloqua and web analytics like Omniture helps us see social media content as part of our larger pipeline now.
  • Support. Turnaround time is far, far too long, Feels like every issue uncovered is a bug that no other company has ever brought up previously, which feels a bit scary at times. Certainly these tech bugs cannot be limited to just our account, every single time.
  • Limited data. Does not provide Twitter data beyond engagement rate and retweet numbers, so you will need to rely on other methods to get impression and click data. Facebook data does not include clicks, either.
  • Modules still feel very siloed. For example, the URL shortener is great but that data can't be accessed through the reporting (Listen & Analyze) module. This tool is supposed to make reporting easier, not more clunky by having to pull data from multiple areas of the tool and then marry them together.
Definitely more appropriate if you are managing multiple social media accounts. If you are only managing one Facebook account, one Twitter account and one LinkedIn account, you're better off using the sites directly, given the lack of data for Twitter.

I'm not sure how it is being used within the entire organization. My department uses Oracle Social Relationship Management (SRM) to monitor for potential adverse events, cost/insurance issues, administration/use issues, coupons or PI (prescribing insert) questions for specific brands. If any of these areas are addressed within a tweet we respond with a legally approved tweet.
  • The software is very easy to learn and understand.
  • The User Interface and Design is nicely done.
  • The software does everything we need it to do and is also flexible whenever we need to make changes.
  • I do wish that there was a way to see both answers that we previously used and answers that are available to use instead of just seeing what was just published.

Oracle SRM is a recent purchase by our organization. It is solely accessed by our marketing services department and is currently in use for one of our brands as a listening and engagement tool. I am working on the marketing initiatives for a new brand that is launching next month and will personally use this tool for social listening and engagement, as well.
  • Notifications of engagement in real time, so comments don't go unnoticed for too long
  • Easy tracking
  • Integration into Project Management platforms
Oracle Social Relationship Management (SRM) is well suited when you need to publish posts during non business hours and when someone is not able to monitor the social platforms at all hours of the day. I know us associates who are in charge of monitoring our social platforms have other duties outside of social media, so it's nice to be notified when activities take place. I haven't been involved enough to know where it is less appropriate, just yet.

Reviewing Oracle SRM

We are currently using Oracle SRM to manage all our social platforms, from corporate channels down to specific brand accounts. We have at least five different teams on board, all working at different locations. Having all accounts in one system helps us monitor each others' activities across all channels, making it easier to collaborate on content and provide support to other accounts. SRM also helps in streamlining our reporting with all the analytics housed in one place.
  • With teams working at different locations, the Publish section let us monitor all content being scheduled and published across all social channels. As well as share and collaborate on existing content.
  • SRM lets us access all our analytics in one place.
  • Our account manager is heavily involved in ensuring our overall SRM experience. She is easy to reach and is very responsive in answering our concerns.
  • The UI is not as visually-appealing nor as user-friendly as other tools.
  • There is no option to schedule retweets / replies via the Engage section. Also, it would be nice to have a stream in Engage dedicated to accounts we are following, similar to Twitter / Facebook news feed.
From our experience, SRM is a great tool for an organization with multiple teams running multiple social accounts. It provides a good top-level view of all content being published, as well as conversations and engagement across social channels.

We use the SRM as a content management tool, to monitor the brand on the social web, and as a reporting tool for our internal reports regarding our social media efforts and the brand on the social web.
  • The SRM publishing functionality allows us to work across multiple networks and channels delivering the right brand voice to the right audiences.
  • The Engage module provides us with both real-time monitoring functionality and reporting functionality.
  • We can schedule posts over an extended period and still have flexibility to respond in real time.
  • The interface, particularly in Engage, is not user friendly or intuitive.
  • The media library is not searchable, nor can you share across bundles.
The SRM is well suited for organizations that have multiple users working across multiple channels on multiple networks. If you only have a few networks and a single organizational presence on the social web more cost effective solutions are available.

We use Oracle to manage our client team's social channels (Twitter & Facebook) and monitor the success or failure of social posts. The 'Listen & Analyze' tab allows us to take all of the analytics and provide our client with exact implications of how posts are performing, who is being targeted, how we can target better, etc. Oracle Social Relationship Management is currently being used by the Account department at our agency.
  • The dashboard for the social channels is extremely easy to read and alter with a calendar that allows you to view month by month or several months at a time
  • Publishing posts is simple and Oracle makes this easy by allowing the user to tailor the posts specifically to what you need i.e - time, date, name, picture, tags etc.
  • Instead of engaging with fans directly on Facebook or Twitter, Oracle social managers can engage within the site and are notified with 'messages'
  • Editing the posts can be a pain if you need to change tags. There's a tab that allows you to 'quick edit,' but its limiting of what it allows you to actually do.
If you're new to social listening, we've found that it's helpful to have an account member/customer service explain what you're seeing and why. Oracle's representatives have been really great about staying on top of any issues that arise and getting on the phone quickly to help you solve them. It's also pretty self explanatory for new users.

  • Unique publishing features. They were one of the first sophisticated tools to offer post scheduling with enhanced engagement features such as playable games within Facebook posts and interactive polls (before Facebook Questions were available for Pages).
  • Community moderation. One of the primary reasons we chose Vitrue over the competition was for their features around email alerts when certain keywords were used on Pages, and the option to automatically delete/hide posts that used certain words.
  • The Tabs tool made it super easy for almost anyone to create custom Facebook tabs to house contests, sweepstakes, games, videos, image galleries, or even static content. The only real coding needed was for the CSS design aspects.
  • Tabs tool could be much more user friendly, i.e. completely "drag and drop". It was pretty easy to get something functional built, but if you didn't know how to code CSS then you were pretty much hopeless when it came to making the tab look "professional".
  • Their bulk uploading/scheduling feature for posts was always having issues, it was something I always wanted to take advantage of and was bummed that it didn't really work well enough to make it efficient.
  • When I was using the tool, it was a very janky user experience when you needed to go and locate a post or comment that had been automatically removed due to keyword filters. And there was no simple way to just view a stream of what's being said on/to your accounts.
I would say it's perfect for post scheduling, planning, and moderation (especially if more than one person is working on the brand's social activity), but I would say that it's probably not the best choice if your main concern is more about complex and truly custom app development. I would also have to point out that there are other, cheaper tools that would meet most demands for post scheduling, planning, and moderation.

  • Great support system
  • Documentation is clear and concise
  • Various pre-built templates provided with an array of standard functionality
  • Developer training is extensive to learn proprietary language but is rushed
  • Admin UI needs to be organized better
I would tell my colleague to ensure a great support model is put in place. Make sure the dev team has the skill set to adapt to the proprietary language and ensure that the documentation provided by Involver suits the organizations needs in order to be self-sustaining.

  • We used Vitrue for a Facebook in-wall app to run a social media promotion for a client. Overall, it did well and got the job done with a pretty quick turnaround time. It's a fairly straightforward plug and play solution for very basic promotional needs.
  • We were able to easily and quickly manage our promotion within the platform. Uploading images and text was a very intuitive process.
  • We had a few minor issues with changing some of the Vitrue pre-loaded text. Some of the grammar was off and it wasn't something we were able to go in and change ourselves. We put in a ticket to get it fixed but it took a couple of weeks to get it rectified. This was a real problem.
Overall, we were satisfied with Vitrue for our basic promotions. We have yet to try it for a more complex campaign, so I'd be interested to see how the user experience will be with something that requires a lot more content.
