Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Oracle CRM is a stable solution.""The reporting features are valuable.""We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good.""Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable.""It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program.""Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports.""The most important feature is the ability to assign a plan using the manual close function.""Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."

"It is a scalable solution.""What is cool about Zendesk Guide is how it works together with others Zendesk products. Especially with support and with the analytics. Put those together for a small or medium-sized company and it's a really powerful tool.""The initial setup is simple and straightforward.""Zendesk Support has a lot of good APIs.""Its agility and simplicity are the most valuable features. This tool is very user-friendly.""The product offers very good management. It has a great ability to assign tickets based on content.""I found the user experience with vendors on Zendesk to be straightforward, especially when it comes to understanding and searching for specific tickets. The search and navigation tools are easy to use, and I haven't encountered any issues with delays or communication gaps in ticket resolutions.""It has good management, the ability to sign tickets based on content, the multi-channel support, the self service portal, the integration with Salesforce, the setup process, and the product features as we are currently using them."

Cons
"This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable.""The product is not intuitive.""In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic.""The user interface and performance could be better.""Their support could be faster. Like any other solution provider, in some cases, it takes time to get their response, and sometimes, they do not fix the issue in the first round. Therefore, we have to go through another round.""I'd like to see more feature enhancements.""The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them.""It’s complex to customize the tool."

More Oracle CRM Cons →

"The price of the solution should be reduced.""The dashboard could be better.""One of the drawbacks of Zendesk is that it doesn't provide a secure way for us to send data. So, we usually use a secure SharePoint folder link. We put that in the Zendesk ticket so that the requester has a secure way of getting to their data.""As per me, there arent much significant issues or areas for improvement with Zendesk, as my usage of it is limited. I appreciate its ability to organize tickets effectively based on tags, allowing me to easily gather and analyze customer feedback and requests.""If I write an article, and I have a team of 30 people, and they all have a Zendesk account, when I write an article, I send them an email. "Hey guys, I just wrote this article. It's one of the most popular topics this month on which we are not covered. Please check it and make sure that you include it in your resolutions". The issue is, once I send it to those 30 people, and they open it, the next morning, that article is the most popular article.""It wasn't easy to set up so we're only using a third of all of the features,""Sometimes if there was a way to just flag the actual issue out of those email chains - that would be really helpful.""It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
  • "We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
  • "We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
  • "There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
  • "Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
  • "The licensing is on a yearly basis."
  • "The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
  • "The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
  • More Oracle CRM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We pay for the solution on a yearly basis and my understanding is that the cost is about $30,000. That's the cost for 24 to 25 agents."
  • "The price is very competitive."
  • "Zendesk's licensing is not cheap. For Enterprise, we are paying $200 per agent. It's a per-month cost, so it's pretty steep. There are some services you need to pay extra for. For example, with Zendesk Guide, we had to buy the most expensive offering in order to get Multibrand and everything. We also had to pay a lot of money for themes."
  • "There are different plans that are offered. We are using the entry-level plan. The overall price of the solution should be reduced. The price is too high."
  • "You have to pay extra for better support. So it's not only the license that you pay for, but you have to pay extra for the support as well."
