Oracle SRM - The Right Way to Manage Your Social Media Channels

Pros

  • The ability to schedule months of content at a time and view it across a calendar.
  • The approval process - you can set up teams to create, edit, publish, approve etc.
  • The content and apps module allows you to create modules which can be displayed on your Facebook page under the tabs section. You can create interactive modules for your customers to view.

Cons

  • The approval process could be made easier. It would be great to approve all content for all channels, rather than have to visit each individual post to approve.
  • Ability when scheduling a multi channel post to set it to different dates and times for each post.
  • It would be good to duplicate posts and schedule them for another date and time from the one thread.

Other Software Used

Oracle Eloqua

Return on Investment

  • We have grown to over 5,500 followers over our social networks, which has helped increased our brand recognition. It is still early days for us to prove our ROI.

Usability

Oracle SRM at Lenovo

Pros

  • SRM allowed us to tag all social content to Eloqua campaigns and track known-user interaction on the posts.
  • The SRM publishing feature allowed us to publish content seamlessly to multiple networks.
  • The media mixer solution was a quick, easy, and polished solution for event social displays.

Cons

  • Understanding the relationship between SRM and Eloqua can be very complicated. Unfortunately the SRM team did not have an Eloqua expert who could clarify answers to very important questions that we had regarding the technicalities of the software.
  • The user interface for the engagement and listening module within SRM is not as user-friendly as that of competing products.

Short experience with Oracle SRM

Pros

  • User friendly - first time I started using it, I didn't need a lengthy onboarding process.
  • Intuitive - the more times I used it, the more I became convinced that it is a great match for what my tasks were.
  • Secure - whenever I opened the link to the SRM, it always prompted me for a password login, which made me trust the system.

Cons

  • The menu bar was at times confusing.
  • Preview of social media posts could be a bit more interactive.
  • Design of the platform was very simplistic.
