"It covers sales very well."
"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 is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"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."
"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"One of the most valuable features is the automation of Sales Cloud. It gives us the ability to easily—without the use of coding—create automation in order for us to do our work a lot more efficiently, whether it's notification reminders or certain automatic processes. There are a lot of things that Sales Cloud can do that, in my opinion, make everyone's jobs a whole lot easier and give them the visibility they need when they require it, when talking to customers and prospecting. It makes the account management process easier as well."
"This is a stable product."
"We can also customize Salesforce Sales Cloud to our customer's company requirements. As for your demand, you can customize it. There are so many configurations we can do with the application. There is a lot of functionality that you can implement. It's an easy-to-use, user-friendly, and secure platform."
"The most valuable features are custom objects, custom workflows, triggering, and integration with other SaaS solutions."

"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
"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."
"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."
"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"The tool must allow developers to check logs."
"There are also certain restrictions on the reports in terms of the number of records. Ideally, that should be removed."
