My organization uses Oracle Sales to record all sales order data. This include gross sales amounts, any adjustments, order entry details and historical data. This tool allows salespeople to track weekly, monthly, & yearly totals as well as progress on total quota. Being a quota carrier, this system is of daily use to monitor sales progress and ultimately how much much we earn.

Weekly/monthly/annual sales tracking
Commission calculations
Historical sales orders & data
Managing liability and deals in implementation
Sales analysis and trends
Cons
The platform could be more user friendly and easier for a beginning to use

Oracles Sales is very good from a tracking standpoint. You are easily able to see your results month to month and the amount of commission earned on those sales. Data is definitely the system's strong suit. It also allows you to dive into the details of each sale although less user friendly and a bit confusing to decipher at times. If you are looking for a fancy, graphic-heavy interface, this may not be the program you are looking for as it focuses on numbers.
We wanted a complete sales solution for our team members, clients, vendors, and partners. For our team, we wanted to automate our sales force, ensuring they have the best intelligent solution with AI/ML within the product so that data could be used better and they would get intelligent push notifications. The sales planning and performance management modules helped in planning the entire sales lifecycle. Performance management particularly helped in setting up a benchmark and evaluating the sales team. Customer data management was used where we had an internal business use case where we wanted to understand, store and retrieve customer data to better evolve our relationships by understanding our customers better. Lastly, we wanted to be precise with our quotes. Pricing had to be accurate and customizable for every customer so that customer-centric discounts and offers could be applied. A detailed, searchable database for all quotes helped us in many subsequent deals.
Pros
Customer data management
Pricing and quote management
Sales planning and managing performance
Automating the sales force
Making sense of and organizing customer information
Vendor management
Cons
Integration with other sales software
Some features are complex to use for new sales team members and require some user training; hence the product can be more intuitive
Perhaps the Oracle CX Sales team could learn from modern UI/UX examples to give the overall product a more modern feel and easy to use interface
Customized developments need customized deployment strategies; these are lacking to some extent; maybe DevOps could help here

This system would work well across most sectors but especially well for sectors where customer relationships and data collection is paramount. Any cloud-based CRM system is worth its weight in gold if you can get the right data out that will help you service your clients in a better and more informed way. This system in particular allows you to do this in a way that others simply can’t match.

I think it is marvelous for the workplaces with the massive
number of people engaged in managing sales. one can get everything needed from
this single platform and make things work. But is a bit hard tool to get
understanding or maybe it seemed hard just to me. clients' information
including their contacts is placed in it and one can get it used from their
cellphones. Lead management and task management are amazing just with a bit
dull dashboard.
Oracle CX Sales has been used at the company level as there are numerous problems that have been resolved by using this platform. Some of them are: Self Service: With the knowledge base available, Clients do not need any support from salespeople. They can easily do it through the knowledge base available.

This is generally used where there are many employees in the organisation who are making sales as it is difficult to keep track of everyone, so it can fetch all the data in one place. This is a CRM and used where all information related to sales needs to be stored like leads, pipeline, updates, closure, etc. This also does the implementation process.
It's used for customer relationship management--mainly to store all the information related to leads, customers, sales pipeline, opportunities, and meetings, among other relevant aspects of the sales process. We also track sales vs budget by account executive, product, channel, and country. After the sales process is over, our client's team takes over and starts the implementation process in Oracle.
Pros
Dashboards for data visualization
Clear tracking of the sales funnel
Thorough information about everything related to prospects
Cons

It's great for following up on the whole sales process, from beginning to end. It also works great for tracking sales and quotas by using their data visualization options, which range from overall great dashboards to very detailed graphs.
When it comes to workflows, there are some improvements that can be done to automate certain dull tasks.
We are using Oracle CX Sales (formerly Oracle Engagement Cloud and Oracle Sales Cloud) for strong data lead creation, sales improvement, company data details, customer engagement, and customer contact detail updating. We can create a sales pipeline, task, all user sales activities report, and automation for old sales data updating. Other than slow page load and data load, Oracle has been an outstanding tool.
Pros
AI features--we can automate tasks, generate leads, and create invoices and sales inquiries.
Business intelligence reliability and capabilities are very good
We can gather sales insight, which will be very useful for forecasting
Cons
We cannot integrate a dialer tool with Oracle CX Sales (formerly Oracle Engagement Cloud and Oracle Sales Cloud)

We implemented this on the company and we believe that it has generated many good things for us internally at the end of sales. It allows us to track the progress of our business development--economic as well as products that we offer to our customers. Being able to properly access maintenance records and employees working on individual projects has significantly improved time management.
Oracle CX Sales helps the business process management part of our organization. Here entire processes have been outsourced to us by the client. So we need to track, monitor, and respond to customer request[s] across multiple touchpoints, understand the customer sentiment in real-time to understand if there is a change in strategy, and a lot more. Oracle CX Sales helps put our agents on steroids as it provides them with all the relevant information on one screen and a brilliant search capability to quickly find the information.
Pros
Keeping track of customer interactions across different channels
Real time sentiment analysis
Knowledge management using AI to show relevant content to the agent to quickly solve the customer concern
Cons
Custom training of ML algorithms is limited
User Interface needs to be more intuitive
Limited options to integrate with existing third-party CRM software
Likelihood to Recommend
Oracle CX Sales is more suited for organizations who are planning to completely migrate their CRMs or who are just starting their CRM journey. Since integrations are limited with external software, using Oracle CX Sales can be challenging. Also, in my personal opinion, B2C companies with a large customer base or daily transactions will benefit the most by Oracle CX Sales.
