"Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud. Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick. I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud."
"What I like about the Salesforce Platform, in particular, its enterprise edition is that apart from its many features, you can have a wider view of the customers, a 360-degree view. I also enjoy managing opportunities in the Salesforce Platform a lot because it's easier and gives you a wider view, compared to HubSpot."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"It has definitely improved how we function."
"Salesforce is cloud-based, so there's no installation involved. You simply log in using the provided organization login. There's no need for installation."
"I like using the reports feature, but also the fact that we are able to have a smooth process when it comes to leads and opportunities."
"It's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity."
"A very flexible solution."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"There should be more management automation."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"The marketing automation needs improvement."
"Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more."
"They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"The reporting needs improvement and the dashboard could have more components added."
"Its documentation and price should be better."
"Salesforce needs to be re-platformed, or re-architected, making it lighter."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
