What do you like best about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

Easy to use, simple, it’s helpful for sending emails. It doesn't have a lot of extra features, it's pretty much just very straightforward and simple to use. You can easily find your unread messages, and respond to them and mark them as sent. Straightforward interface, easy to log into and load and get through all of your email messages.

What do you dislike about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

Looks like it’s from 1982. It’s very bland and ugly with the dark blue tones. It can be difficult to see things on it at times because of the dark blue background and the small font, hard to adjust it to fit it all onto the screen properly. It also doesn't have good integration with social media or live chat for customer service options in case it isn't working properly. It good use a lot of upgrading to it so that it looks like something from the 21st century, and I don't feel like I'm back in time in the 20th century. Aesthetics are the main issue.

"Feature rich and flexible tool to improve customer experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

Flexibility. It is rare you tell a customer that you cannot perform a certain action. The tools are there to accommodate to a lot of business processes from Customer Service, HR Helpdesk, Internal helpdesk. It is feature rich with Knowledge, Service, Chat, Surveys, Marketing/Campaigns, Basic sales, Social. There are some great syndicated widgets allowing you to place chat or knowledge outside of Service Cloud on your own corporate site. It is also very good for multi-language implementations and I've dealt with many using up to 30 different languages.

I've worked with this product for many years and I genuinely like the product and know it helps lots of businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

Until recently it was very difficult to copy config from Dev to Prod sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Included reports and the ability to customize are valuable features."
4/5
What do you like best about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

Integrated survey tools are highly customizable, and have enabled us to begin a real closed loop process. (Though text analysis is lacking). There is awide selection of included reports and ability to customize. The forums on the cx.rightnow.com community are often helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

Need ability to export records for archiving, or to query the DB directly. The documentation is often sparse and at times misleading. Updates are not added to the documentation and are only available as knowledge articles. The product/category widget needs to be searchable or type-ahead. If you have more than a handful of products in your tree, it becomes unusable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helps Keep Companies Organized"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

I like that I'm able to communicate effectively with all departments concerning the same situation. I work in higher education and am able to see what departments have been working with my students and am able to see notes taken so that there is little room for miscommunications, when used correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

The information between OnDemand and RightNow is sometimes delayed. There also is a dilemma of using too many systems since we have two emails for students to use. It can become inconsistent if training is not mainstreamed through other departments. The service also can be slow and there have been times where I cannot get work done because the system is down.

"Best product for providing a great customer experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

Reporting!! There are over 900 out of the box reports available in the tool, and they are easy to edit if they're not exactly what you're looking for. From a sales management perspective, it gives me visibility into my pipeline and upcoming tasks so I always know what I need to be focused on.

Knowledge! It's very easy to set up new Knowledge articles, and there are canned reports that show you everything you need to know about the articles people are clicking, if the info was helpful or not, etc.

Extensibility - the application has grown with us. As we need to do integrations or make adjustments, it has been easy to do. The application is well suited to integrate with other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

Agent desktop - this could be a little "prettier" out of the box. I think they have made strides with the browser user interface but we aren't using it yet. The process of modifying and editing workspaces does feel a little outdated.

Chat (customer facing side) - this is another area that seems a little outdated from a look and feel perspective. It would be great if they could make chat persistent so it followed you from page to page rather than having a separate pop-up window. It works, but it could be improved upon.

Answer versioning - the latest version is already rolling this out so this one will be resolved next time we upgrade! Previously it required the purchase of Knowledge Advanced, so I am thrilled to learn it's a native part of the product now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great product with a great foundation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

We appreciate the ability to point and click and make really complicated changes fast and easy. We no longer need a large team of developers to make things happen. A small team of power users is all that's needed to keep the application working. Admins are able to make changes and iterate on them to optimize them to make a great customer and agent experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Service Cloud (formerly RightNow)?

The ability to influence changes in the product is hard. There is lots of solicitation for product feedback, but very few suggestions make it into the product. The smaller suggestions, that could make an admins life easier are rarely entertained or implemented. Larger scale suggestions wind up in the product and are either an upcharge or overcomplicated and don't feel natural to the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
