"It covers sales very well."
"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable."
"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."
"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."
"It is a good platform that shows consolidation of information for our customer base."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is very user-friendly, and simple to create dashboards and extract the reports. Additionally, it integrates well with other applications."
"The best features of the solution are its performance and stability."
"The development cost, maintenance cost, everything will be drastically reduced - unlike traditional infrastructure where we maintain everything on our own."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are code hub management and sale opportunity management."
"This is a stable product."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"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."
"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."
"Support is very poor."
"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."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"With the solution being very vast, they need to prioritize features."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. Its reporting interface should be improved to personalize reports."
"Sales Cloud could be improved with more training. In general, the training is very good, but you have to really seek out some good options in order to upskill yourself. Another thing, which could also be a benefit, is that Sales is very customizable. If you move from one organization to another, you can see your Salesforce as before, but their Sales Cloud may look completely different from what you're used to. It's not like Microsoft Excel or Trello, where the layout and all the functions are the same. Because it's so customizable, I feel like there is a bit of a learning curve when you inherit another Sales Cloud instance. To be honest, I think that's the beauty of Salesforce because you can customize it so much to fit your needs as a company. It follows your processes and use cases in order for you to get the most out of the system itself."
"It would be nice if they had an ERP offering or a firm strategic partnership with a best-in-class ERP. So rather than say they're just ERP agnostic, you would pick whichever ERP you want, which is very generic. I think it would have a lot of merit if they partnered strategically with a best-in-class trusted ERP platform or acquired an ERP platform."
"Amount of storage provided is limited."
"When importing from other apps, it gets messy."
"Auto clean for duplicate leads, accounts, and contacts needs improving."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is not as simple to use as Zoho. It requires some level of expertise before you can use it. However, you can easily learn how to use the solution as you go along."
