Overall Satisfaction with RightNow

  • Customer Centric User Interface
  • Multi-Channel Capabilities
  • Knowledge Base is excellent
  • Oracle is not investing in the product
  • Increase the sales capabilities of the product
  • Create better integrations into the Oracle products
  • Increased employee efficiency
  • Better Customer Service
RightNow is a very good product. It's not technically SaaS though they claim it to be. If they change the .net framework, and Oracle invests more into the functionality moving forward, I would recommend it higher. If Oracle Legal were easier to do business with, I would recommend it higher. However, if you're only looking for a powerful, but lightweight Knowledge Base, it's a very good solution.

Using RightNow

  • Customer service improvement
  • Self-service
  • Increased efficiency
RightNow was a great company and product. When they were purchased by Oracle, that all changed. Higher prices, no new functionality, and worse customer support.
