Contactually CRM (discontinued) vs. Oracle CRM On Demand

Contactually is a very powerful CRM, even though it is extremely simple to use. It is very intuitive and fun to use! Their templates for nurturing and follow-up are phenomenal, so if you have a sales cycle, this is the tool for you. I even use it to keep track of family and acquaintances' interactions, as Contactually can alert me when it's been 30 days since the last time I talked to person A. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because price has been going up in recent years.

I think it is well suited for organizations which are large with a lot of users so as to be able to minimize the cost of operations. Also, the organization which interacts mostly with customers can use Oracle CRM on demand.

• Sorting and classifying of contacts in buckets, to allow for specific follow up.
• Merge mail, that allows me to mass email a group, but individually (without the "unsubscribe" button).
• Connection with my email and phone for contact tracking.

• Application customization is a key strength. We can create custom home page experiences for each type of user, customize object layouts to change dynamically depending on object type, and create an embedded sales process unique to our organization that helps facilitate the user through the process by specifying required fields dependent on what stage of the process they are in. The ability to customize goes directly to the success of user adoption - the fact that we can customize layouts and processes to support our internal business processes helps users make the most of the system.
• Robust Reporting. The reporting and data warehouse capabilities are excellent. We have thousands of custom reports delivered in a number of ways - on home pages, on dashboards, on demand through the reporting menu, and on custom web tabs. These reports range from simple lists to complex multi-object analyses.
• Ability to get data in and get data out. CRMOD makes it very easy to import data into any object. This is helpful for importing lists or making mass changes. Exporting data is equally easy, both from an administrator standpoint and for the user. Users can display a list or do a custom advanced search and then easily export the data to Excel without any admin help. They can also export from any report, which is helpful when sales data needs to be combined with other financial data in a larger analysis.
• The system's workflow capabilities allow us to improve field validation, send important notifications, and enforce business process requirements.

• Pipeline functions. It's pretty bare minimum right now.
• Capturing text and phone calls outside the app. It's hard to remember to initiate both from the app.
• Calendar function. You should be able to edit the calendar in Contactually and it would sync with your Google calendar.

• A scripting mechanism is needed to customize the data entry forms. As any data driven system, Oracle CRM on demand is as reliable as its data is. Having sales people entering and maintaining the data you have to make sure they are doing that and not cutting corners. One way to do that is to enforce the business requirements in the entry forms.
• User interface / user experience definitely can and should be improved.
• It needs a way to send automatic reports on a schedule via email.
• Support: as usual the Oracle support tends to be tedious and lengthy.

Just doesn't provide the sophistication that I seek. It's a simple solution with some innovation automation relatively speaking, but ideal for individuals and small businesses with basic CRM needs.

MS Dynamics was easy to integrate to MS Power BI. This BI and reporting aspect is a clear strong point for Microsoft. MS solutions seem easier to integrate and learn, but this depends on the IT landscape and the complexity of integrations in a respective company.

• It's had a very positive impact in building and maintaining my relationships. The ROI has been positive as an affordable and user-friendly CRM.

• Much easier for us to track sales leads as we have had almost universal adoption and continued user interaction with the program as opposed to our previous tool, Salesforce. CRM has likely cut back on many hours of calls and check-ups with its easy to use system.
• Customer feedback has been much improved as we are able to track any areas that need additional focus and address them immediately.
