ORACLE RIGHT ACCESS EXPANSION MODULE is rated4.71 out of5 by7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Provides a complete view of end users though all channels and base marketing.What is most valuable?I originally started using RightNow as an email management and knowledge management system, though the true value is providing a 360-degree view of the end users though all channels and base marketing.How has it helped my organization?When I initially started using it, it was for a travel company at the same time as bad weather closed the major airports in the south of England. Instead of a spike in calls and AHT, the call levels were consistent with trends, as the accurate and up-to-date info on the knowledge base deflected the calls.I have been working with OSvC since 2004 and in thattime, I have submitted several enhancement requests (Ideas Lab), offunctionality that was severely lacking and would seem logical for theuse of Service cloud.Some of the examples are with the Knowledgebase which is what theOriginal RightNow was designed for, though a lot of the enhancementrequests and now being developed as a part of the Knowledge Advancedproposition, which is sold in addition to the OSvC functionality.Other examples of enhancements are like the "Currency" and "HierarchyMenu/MultiSelect Menu" as Custom Fields which have not been developed (Ipersonally submitted an Ideas Lab request for the currency back in 2007)The AUP program is an excellent idea and is in line with the cloudpricing/subscription models in the market place though it is more thecontent of the upgrades that need improvement.What needs improvement?Upgrade and development process: There are some aspects which have been requested for years but are slow to take into the development path (or are included in an "Advanced" version of the system).For how long have I used the solution?I have been using Service Cloud and RightNow since 2002.What was my experience with deployment of the solution?As with all system upgrades, there have been a couple of bugs, but never a major issue.What do I think about the stability of the solution?There have been a couple of very minor outages which are proactively managed. I have never had a complete system outage.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?We have not encountered any scalability issues. I have used this from a small implementation of 5 users to a full-blown implementation across 11 countries.How is customer service and technical support?Customer Service: Customer service is very good.Technical Support: Technical support is very good.Which solutions did we use previously?In the past, I have used KANA (pre-2002) & CosmoCall.How was the initial setup?The initial setup was a bit complex, not due to the system but down to the business. Other implementations I have worked on have been very efficient and simple.What about the implementation team?Initial implementation was with the assistance of RightNow. For subsequent implementations, I was an Oracle Partner implementing the solutions for clients.What was our ROI?ROI is unmeasured.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?Named-user licences are cheaper, though a concurrent licence will be more appropriate if you have a large number of users who log in on a shift pattern or infrequently.Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:The company I work for is a digital solutions consultancy, specialist in implementing these types of platforms, and has been partnering with Oracle (as well as other vendors) for many years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The chat and skill-based routing features are a couple of the most valuable features.What is most valuable?* Web customer portal* Knowledge base* Incident and activity management* Contact and organisation management* Chat and skill-based routing* Incident routing and escalation* Outreach (mailshots) and feedback (surveys)How has it helped my organization?It allowed management, operations, service, sales and marketing to have a full view of the customer base, and a single platform to manage all customer engagement activities.What needs improvement?* Release and environment managementFor how long have I used the solution?I have used it for five years.What was my experience with deployment of the solution?We have not encountered any deployment issues.What do I think about the stability of the solution?We have not encountered any stability issues.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?We have not encountered any scalability issues.How is customer service and technical support?Customer Service: Customer support is excellent with the dedicated Oracle Service Cloud portal, knowledge base and support lines.Technical Support: Technical support is excellent.Which solutions did we use previously?We did not previously use a different solution. Oracle RightNow is the only solution in the market that offers a true omni-channel experience and a native joined-up approach between service, sales, marketing.How was the initial setup?Initial setup was straightforward. The out-of-the-box functionality and features are very well aligned with reality, making it easier to accelerate deploymentsWhat about the implementation team?An in-house team implemented it.What was our ROI?We haven't measured ROI yet.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?If you have sporadic users - i.e., not everyone is going to access it all day - go for "non-contact centre users", which are much cheaper.Which other solutions did I evaluate?Before choosing this product, we evaluated:* Oracle Sales Cloud* Sage SalesLogixDisclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:The company I work for is a CRM/CX/BI consultancy, specialist in implementing these types of platforms, and has been partnering with Oracle (as well as other vendors) for many years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Testimonial Review of Oracle RightNow CXWhat is most valuable?Basically, it is a suite built for providing services; the ability to connect to the customers is a highlight here by making use of all communication modes. A meaningful interaction with the customer in order to gather the utmost possible information to provide better solution makes the difference here.Features including Chat, Co-Browse, SLA, Social Monitor, Knowledge Base, Smart Assistant, etc., are found most valuable.How has it helped my organization?67% of consumers turn to a company's social media site for customer service. Social Monitoring does a perfect job here (by social media integration with Oracle RightNow).What needs improvement?* Customization of the client's branding establishment instead of the default Oracle brand signs (example: logo in the login Screen)For how long have I used the solution?I have used it for six months.What was my experience with deployment of the solution?We have had no issues with the deployment.What do I think about the stability of the solution?It is an absolutely stable product with no issues.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?It is definitely a scalable product.How is customer service and technical support?Customer Service: Customer service is 9/10.Technical Support: Technical support is 9/10.Which solutions did we use previously?This is my first experience working with a cloud CRM tool like Oracle RightNow.How was the initial setup?Initial setup was completely straightforward. Required interface- and site-level modifications can be done easily in the cloud portal with the help of Configuration Assistant.What was our ROI?Customers who enjoy a great customer experience actually pay 30% more on average for that experience. Great knowledge gathering and continuous requests to provide prolonged service are the ROI.What other advice do I have?The customer journey surrounds three experiences: "The Web Experience", "The Contact Centre Experience" and "The Social Experience". Oracle RightNow has given equal importance to these three, which overwhelmingly satisfies the customer.Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:We're CX Admins. Oracle Partners.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Knowledge Foundation and Advanced incorporate NLP technology.What is most valuable?Pretty much the entire suite is valuable. The Knowledge Foundation and Advanced are best in breed with NLP technology. Proactive chat and customer portal are also extremely valuable to any service organization.How has it helped my organization?Our managed services group uses it to support our customers enabling us to maintain SLAs and surpass them. Scheduled Analytics reports help us to make sure we are staffed correctly based on trending volume of incidents.What needs improvement?The agent browser UI is quickly scaling, so I will be very excited when I can recommend it to everyone. Other areas where I'd love to see enhancements are outreach, feedback and business rules. I have heard there are some changes in the works though.Regarding business rules the UI and the way you construct them has not changed in many years. This part of the administration is not as intuitive of some of the other areas. The Outreach piece which controls the Service Marketing activities has not had any new features in some time but this is likely because the tool is not meant for mature marketing organizations in that respect. A solution like Oracle Marketing Cloud (Eloqua ) would be a better suited for pure Marketing type activities.For how long have I used the solution?It feels like only yesterday, but it's been about a decade.What was my experience with deployment of the solution?We have not encountered any deployment issues in recent versions. Any issues we experienced were several years agoWhat do I think about the stability of the solution?We have not encountered any stability issues.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?We have not encountered any scalability issues; this is an enterprise application.How is customer service and technical support?Customer Service: Customer service is fair. I have seen improvements in response time over the past year. Customer success managers are a valuable asset that can be leveraged if you do need assistance navigating the customer support landscape.Technical Support: Many of the technicians have a deep level of knowledge.How was the initial setup?Initial setup was straightforward and implementation can be done in weeks vs years.What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?Make sure you know what you are licensed for and take advantage of all the features and functionality available with your license.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Managing the sales staff with optional and obligatory tasks works wellWhat is our primary use case?Steering our salesforce.How has it helped my organization?We had to manage the work of about 45 people in sales: 30 in retail, 15 in gastronomy. You need good IT skills to run the system well, and it's not lean to manage, though it's flexible and there are many possibilities for desired developments.What is most valuable?Managing the sales staff with optional and obligatory tasks works well. The system is flexible if you have the necessary know how.What needs improvement?It's not lean to manage.For how long have I used the solution?One to three years.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like the self-service feature of the customer portalWhat is our primary use case?We implemented Oracle Service Cloud for a building management company. They were very happy as their customers were able to call, chat and email their issues and these were closely monitored and were tracked regularly for resolution.How has it helped my organization?Being the platinum partner of Oracle, we did the implementation for this client thus making the system work beyond their expectations.What is most valuable?* Self-service through the customer portal* Knowledge management* Omni-channel through CoBrowse* CTI* Chat, etc.What needs improvement?Their mobile application for this product could be made more attractive as it currently has little functionalities.For how long have I used the solution?Three to five years.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It has amazing and very powerful reportingWhat is our primary use case?Documenting call center customer interaction, transferring incidents between teams and the help desk chat.How has it helped my organization?* The OSC has been a great help, providing guides for agents, chat and help desk, surveys, etc.* It's easy to document and work on customer cases.* It has an amazing and very powerful reporting.What is most valuable?Love the power of reporting and dashboards. Also, I really like how easy it is to customize the OSC to fit most needs.What needs improvement?I think it is really good as it is but the chat routing could use some improvements. It is difficult to manage lots of queues since the agents can only have one profile.For how long have I used the solution?One to three years.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The knowledge base allows non-technical users to create business content that becomes end-user facing.What is most valuable?The knowledge base: The ability for a non-technical user to create business content that becomes end-user facing has been the easiest item to allow customers to get their answers fast and still have access to business-published data. Because it requires a non-technical personal to publish, the time to market for the content is rapid, and the end-users are able to see immediately any quick answers they may be searching for.The routing of incidents/cases: The tool provides a very robust routing tool that a manager-level person can adjust at will based on the changing service needs. Because cases/incidents come from many sources, the tool has de-coupled the creation of the case and the routing of the case to the proper person/group. Depending on business, it is easy to route based on product line and translate to skill set the agents have who work the cases/incidents.For how long have I used the solution?I started using this solution back in 2006/2007. At that time, I was a help desk agent, and used it to communicate with all my end users and track the problems they encountered with technology.What was my experience with deployment of the solution?The biggest deployment concern I run into is that the primary agent console requires a combination of Internet Explorer, Microsoft Windows, and .NET.After seeing the tools' capabilities, it is visible why the requirements are as they are. You have an app that has the potential to be "customized", if you choose to. And most of us eventually choose to customize the app and enjoy the benefits of integrated ERPs, transactional tracing, etc...It should be noted the future of the product is removing these requirements.What do I think about the stability of the solution?This product is one of the more stable cloud products I have come across on the cloud. Maintenance windows are scheduled; however, they rarely take the site down for more than 30 seconds in a 180-day period. The few major outages I did encounter were resolved in about 5 minutes and full communication was shared with me and the other stakeholders from the Oracle team as issues occurred.How was the initial setup?The few gotchyas in the initial setup are fairly easy to work thru with an experienced implementer who has encountered the problem.When I initially set this up as a customer I had previously learned that you can build big complex lists and choices for users to select from. However, users get overwhelmed and end up choosing "other" just to allow the screen to move forward. Lesson learned: Keep it simple.Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:We are a partner with Oracle that specializes in implementing the product for many different organizations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We use it for incident management and FAQs.What is most valuable?Well, all of the features are pretty great. We use it for incident management and FAQs. These are the features that are valuable to us.How has it helped my organization?We have streamlined our email process and allowed customer self-service to reduce phone calls.What needs improvement?Support is an area with room for improvement.For how long have I used the solution?I have used it for eight years.What do I think about the stability of the solution?Unfortunately, there are times when it goes down, but we have never had an outage that has impacted us significantly.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?We have not encountered any scalability issues.How is customer service and technical support?Customer Service: My customer service team that I work with is great.Technical Support: This one is tricky. Their tech support does need improvement, mostly around how long it takes to fix an issue.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from With workflows, only necessary ?data is exposed on the screens for agents to complete a ticket.What is most valuable?* Reporting* Knowledge-base* Incident management* Chat* Co-browse* Smart Assistant* WorkflowsHow has it helped my organization?Utilizing workflows allows for providing the right screens for agents to complete on a ticket where only the necessary data is exposed and automation can be built into the workflow resulting in potential less clicks for agents.What needs improvement?When answer links are embedded within the ticket message threads, agents are taken to the customer portal; the development team should identify another option. Also, SMS should be built into the product without having to use a third-party application.For how long have I used the solution?I have been using it since Nov 2009.What was my experience with deployment of the solution?On a few occasions, we encountered deployment issues, but Oracle Service Cloud support was always able to provide a workaround if a bug/defect was identified.What do I think about the stability of the solution?We have not encountered any stability issues.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?We have not encountered any scalability issues.How is customer service and technical support?Customer Service: The Oracle Support team finds solutions; I would give them a 7 out of 10.Technical Support: Technical support is an 8 out of 10.Which solutions did we use previously?We did not previously use a different solution.How was the initial setup?Initial setup currently is a bit complex, just due to the multiple locations to log in to determine where the instance is located.What about the implementation team?We are a vendor.Which other solutions did I evaluate?Before choosing this product, we did not evaluate other options.What other advice do I have?This is an excellent product. The development team at Oracle is constantly creating new better versions. This product is an excellent application for customer service - dynamic knowledge management, ticket management, robust analytics and can be administered by a business analyst!!Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:We are an Oracle Platinum Partner.
