Cons
"The data visualization should be better in Oracle CRM.""Getting technical support from Oracle involved going through commercial layers, which could sometimes cause delays. The attention received depended on the client's status and spending with Oracle. Clients with significant spending received global attention and a corporate account manager, while those with lower spending had to work with a local account manager, which wasn't always beneficial. This process could lead to delays in getting technical issues resolved. I am not satisfied with its support.""Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms.""The product is not intuitive.""The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified.""The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori.""The performance could be better.""We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."

More Oracle CRM Cons →

"Technical support is good but could be faster, maybe more knowledgeable, and more customer friendly.""The main action I want to do in Salesforce Marketing Cloud is to export data into Excel and use it. My company may have that feature locked down, or if the Excel data exporting function still isn't available in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, that's the feature I want.""The processing speed, the way information displays, and scrolling options can be improved.""There could be easier tools to configure the product and to create landing pages to better handle large data sets.""The technicality of the solution can be streamlined.""Clarity around new features could be improved when they are released.""The cost is always a concern for anyone using a SaaS product.""Salesforce could benefit by implementing further integration with more platforms."
