"In my experience, the most valuable feature of Oracle CX Sales varies depending on the vertical of the business you're in. Oracle offers industry-specific products tailored to different sectors. However, the sales cycles and methods remain largely consistent across the board."
"It covers sales very well."
"The integration with other systems is easy."
"The solution integrates well."
"Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"The product is very fast and responsive. There's no lag time when you are on the platform."
"On the high level, it's all about managing the clients, managing the opportunities around those clients, managing the tasks, calls, activities, all those things."
"I like that Salesforce is ERP agnostic. In the past and at different companies, I have implemented new or replacement ERPs. It's best in class. I like that it's a SaaS. I like that it can work on any device—any Windows, Android, or Apple device."
"The dashboards and dashboard customization are great."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to use."
"I would recommend Sales Cloud for anyone who has a sales team that needs to be optimized and for any size of enterprise."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is very user-friendly, and simple to create dashboards and extract the reports. Additionally, it integrates well with other applications."
"The features of Sales Cloud most useful for testing and running email campaigns are highly valuable."
"Support is very poor."
"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"The tool must allow developers to check logs."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"The problem is the solution has gotten so big, it's very complex now. It's a bit difficult to figure out how to do certain actions."
"The solution's customer support is not so good."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration."
"The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful."
"The user interface could be better in Salesforce Sales Cloud because it feels a little heavy."
"The solution could improve the partner management and communities. For the enterprise licenses, we have the help, but it should also be extended with the features to the partner community."
"I would love Salesforce to keep on committing and building out what they call flows. It's their point-and-click version of coding. You don't have to be a coder to create essentially what a developer would have to normally, which is a great feature, but it could still be improved upon."
"The user interface could be more intuitive. I had some challenges with how to convert from a lead to an opportunity."
