Great organizational/storage tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jennifer S. | Outside Event Marketing Specialist SSR, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 28, 2020 **What do you like best about Oracle Social Cloud?** There is just so many ways to store big files/data. It is a great way to be able to collaborate projects in teams where everyone has access to the same large files. You are able to use so many developing tools through the platform as well which gives you an amazing ability to multitask. Being able to also have analytical data of social media platforms in the same place you are storing the images/videos/documents/etc is fantastic. **What do you dislike about Oracle Social Cloud?** I don't like how "old school" the technology is. It is amazing for it's storage/developing capabilities, but the site is very out of date and seems as though it hasn't changed since the early 2010s. It also can be super slow and laggy, which makes sense with the amount of storage capabilities, but I also feel it should not be slow because it's meant for this type of thing. **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Problems I am solving with Oracle Social Cloud is having all of my documents, files, data, etc., stored into one place that I am able to share with my team members just about anywhere. I am able to generate PDF's and JavaScripts of files that were not that before and share them onto other platforms of my choosing. It has helped to stay organized and on track all in the same place. I also use it for analytics for social media which is amazing. ### 2.

Oracle is an excellent platform with great technical support. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mia M. | Customer Support Professional , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2019 **What do you like best about Oracle Social Cloud?** What I like most about this tool is that it has integration with data banks, so the results of each applied test can be sent to any member of the team. In addition, integration with other CRM services is a great benefit. This software is also compatible with several platforms. Something that I found surprising is how easy it was to use the user interface is easy to choose it as the default tool. Reporting was automated and enjoyable. **What do you dislike about Oracle Social Cloud?** The interface leaves much to be desired and the program has sometimes failed us. The number of incoming messages are also elements that we can not see from a panel, this is a great weakness. **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Social Cloud:** I recommend this tool if your goal is to achieve success through social networks. Sure that it is a reliable and powerful product. **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great improvement in the integration in social networks and no problems. ### 4. Pleasent but not the best out there **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julia H. | Sales And Marketing Specialist, Utilities, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Oracle Social Cloud?** Oracle social marketing suite is a behemoth when it comes to features, we could easily find most of the services we needed, all available within our reach. The platform allowed us to schedule multiple posts on both Twitter and Facebook. Reporting was automated and nice. Listening was part of our contract and we managed to pull some useful competitor analysis with it. **What do you dislike about Oracle Social Cloud?** The platform was pretty expensive and our contract had a huge price tag on it. The platform felt a little bit clunky and slow on many occasions. Even though we received an onboarding as part of our package, the team who gave it to us felt likes sales and marketing guys who never used the platform themselves. We were then given a technical person to give us the preview, but they also failed to demonstrate certain aspects of the platform that we needed. One last note, while the system promises to support Arabic and Asian content, when creating our listening reports we often noticed it missed on many results that other tools provided us with. **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Social Cloud:** If your budget can cover it, and you are looking for a suite that covers your every need and provides you with all the services required for your company to succeed in social media marketing and beat the competition, then Oracle Social Marketing should be your choice. Oracle Social Marketing is your one stop shop for everything. If you are looking for something cheaper, then try sprinklr or Sprout Social (we moved to combo of Sprout social and Sysomos in the following year). **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Content scheduling and social media management Social media analytics and reports (Automated reports were quite nice) Social media listening and monitoring reports (good but not the best, we ended up signing with Sysomos before our contract ended to make up for missed results by Oracle's platform) ### 5. To store health information, hard to navigate **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rana K. | Employee, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2018 **What do you like best about Oracle Social Cloud?** When used in a healthcare setting, it is easy to store confidential medical information among healthcare professionals. It also allows easy printing of this information. **What do you dislike about Oracle Social Cloud?** The tool itself is hard to navigate and is not very intuitive when going through it to find the information you need. It also is hard to update information yourself and thus, you need to assign an "administrator". Further, it freezes often and takes a while to load information. **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Social Cloud:** It is good for sharing confidential information. It is slow to load and often crashes. **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being used to share private and confidential medical information across various healthcare professionals in a healthcare setting. This makes it easy for the healthcare team to be on the same page and provide the best healthcare possible. ### 6. One Stop Shop for Social Listening, Engaging and Reporting **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Oracle Social Cloud?** I like all of the updates Oracle has made, especially in the fields of semantic API and aggregating responses in one stream or folder from multiple platforms. **What do you dislike about Oracle Social Cloud?** Certain elements such as paid placement would be mixed with organic until recently as far as reporting by stream. Now they have their own column for reporting. Company did not have Tumblr until recently. **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Social Cloud:** Engage with your customers but also with your reps to stay on top of updates and cool new features. Did you know you can listen in on the tone sentiment of posts and tweets, positive or negative, and tackle finding brand ambassadors and influencers as well as responding to issues with a few clicks? **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Oracle Social Cloud saves time and lets you listen and engage as naturally as before, but in one location with great reporting. ### 7.

I actually Ended up switching to another platform so that my team would find it easier to learn the program especially the data analytics tool. **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** No business problems. Mainly creating and executing campaigns and evaluating the subsequent data. ### 8. Pretty Good **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Oracle Social Cloud?** I like scheduling posts a month at a time and post similar content on TW and FB but have them hit at different times or days or tweak a fb post with hashtags for TW or IG **What do you dislike about Oracle Social Cloud?** It should be much easier to post similar content automatically opptimuzed for each Social Platform **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Social Cloud:** It’s better than Hootsuite **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** The reliability of social posts - by scheduling them in advance, now our clients are sure to have preaproced content freshly posted daily, and we are able to give them usable data and insights regarding engagement, customer loyalty and brand recognition ### 9. Useful but flaky. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2018 **What do you like best about Oracle Social Cloud?** The visualization of our social media is very useful and has helped with our analytics and targeting. **What do you dislike about Oracle Social Cloud?** The program seems to crash quite often leaving us stranded at times.The program sometimes also struggles with refreshing data. It could be caused by our use of Mac computers however I feel that is an acceptable excuse. Not always super user friendly either for us, again could be a result of the Mac computers. **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Social Cloud:** Look on. **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have seen significant benefit to our analyzation as it provides clear data on where our engagement and activity is performing. This has allowed us to significantly improve our social media presence. ### 10.

Community Manager **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Publishing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2016 **What do you like best about Oracle Social Cloud?** This tool is great for social media monitoring as it gives timely metrics. The simple to use dashboard makes using this tool convenient and easy. It covers a lot of needs and brings in big data on listening, measurement, sentiment, identifying influencers and reporting. This data can be used to carve out who is listening, why they're listening and what they are looking for. Often times, when working with different brands, this data is helpful to see if you are on the right track or if you need to reevaluate your approach. This tool is also great for reporting back to high-level executives and department heads to showcase the work you've been doing while highlighting key aspects that work and don't work for your communication. **What do you dislike about Oracle Social Cloud?** I dislike how it can't measure real-time posts, so for every event we have to have a war room setup to ensure that we can capture spur of the moment conversations. It would be great if there was a capability to post from your phone. Often times, having to logon to a computer can discourage or lose opportunities for great timely posts, especially when it comes to employee engagement. **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Social Cloud:** Shop around for what best fits your needs. **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Oracle solves creating value to social media. It provides a great deal of social metrics and monitors what works and doesn't work. This is great for our industry. ### 17. Powerful tool with great support, listening tool needs a lot of improvement **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2015 **What do you like best about Oracle Social Cloud?** The UI/UX is very different from other SRMs, where everything comes in an inbox email format, and you are able to see the conversation streams. A lot easier to go through the messages you need to reply to and filter those unread messages. **What do you dislike about Oracle Social Cloud?** Not a lot of information or data on the engagement portion - unable to tell me what is the response time, and how each team member is doing. The number of responses and replies, number of inbound messages are also items which we're unable to view from one dashboard. **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Social Cloud:** Great for engagement function overall, preferably if you don't have a customer service element to your platforms. **What problems is Oracle Social Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Engaging the community across various social media platforms - it's a lot easier to read the customer's response over several messages as we are able to check on the conversation thread, similar to the native platform itself. ## Oracle Social Cloud Discussions - [What is Oracle Social Cloud used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-oracle-social-cloud-used-for) - [View Oracle Social Cloud pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/oracle-social-cloud/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-13+20%3A48%3A33+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=d51db505-49d5-4282-8e50-3c0857542bcd&secure%5Btoken%5D=6f096f9c4c8412b5948c71204df3c24a68fd0b82dbfed4dd2a4aa6a9e2276fd8&format=llm_user) ## Oracle Social Cloud Features **Social Analytics** - Competitor Analysis - Follower Analysis - Post Performance - Paid Campaign Tracking - Attribution - Hashtag Analytics - Sentiment Analysis **Content & Collaboration** - Content Calendar - Content Library - Shared Inbox - Approval Workflows - Users and Permissions - Content Creation **Monitoring & Listening** - Social Measurement - Influencer Identification - Brand Monitoring - Keyword Tracking - Trend Analysis - Competitor Analysis **Agentic AI - Social Media Listening Tools** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Social Management** - Social Analytics - Social Publishing - Campaign Optimization - Social Engagement - Social Ads - Campaign Planning - Hashtag Capabilites **Reports & Dashboards** - Report Customizability - Report Exporting - Scalability - White Label **Data Management & Analysis** - Sentiment Analysis - Social Reporting - Alerts and Notifications - Advanced Data Filtering **Agentic AI - Social Media Management** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Social Media Analytics** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top Oracle Social Cloud Alternatives - [Hootsuite](https://www.g2.com/products/hootsuite/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (7,065 reviews) - [Emplifi](https://www.g2.com/products/emplifi-emplifi/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (372 reviews) - [Sprout Social](https://www.g2.com/products/sprout-social/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (6,359 reviews)
