Sr. Manager, Tmt Business Consulting (Focused On B2 B Tech Product Cos.) at a outsourcing company with 11-50 employees
Efficient and intuitive experience facilitates global sales collaboration and optimizes user engagement
Beyond what Dynamics 365 Sales currently provides, any improvement would require a combination of processes, changes, and user behavior modifications on our side coupled with the product. The product has launched numerous features, including AI capabilities, though I haven't found use for many of them. Reducing feature bloat would be beneficial, especially considering different organizational needs. In a federated B2B company, CRM usage is limited to fundamental fields. Performance improvements, such as reducing field loading time from three seconds to one second, don't significantly impact average users. In our B2B organization, which consists of numerous companies each generating several million dollars in revenue, teams only need 5-10 strong features. Additional features are primarily useful for central sales revenue operations teams handling reports and analysis. For average users in a B2B services organization, the current feature set is sufficient. Over the last few months, we have received many AI features and co-pilot integration into Teams. However, additional CRM features are not necessary for our usage.

Integration capabilities facilitate efficient data management and enhance customer service, but the analytics requires improvement
The analytics capabilities in Siebel CRM have presented numerous challenges. Due to these challenges, we had to integrate Microsoft Power BI. The CRM analytics was not sufficient for our needs, given that we have four million customers and a thousand products. We are currently focusing on the upgrade and discussing with Oracle. If there have been improvements in the analytics side over the past few years, we are open to evaluating them. Currently, all analytics are being done on Power BI. The data is exported to our data lake, and Power BI is being used for all reporting and analytics. Even our customer 360, which is the core of any CRM, has Power BI widgets built-in through iframe because we could not accomplish this through Siebel CRM. The analytics component has been the main pain point for our organization, particularly due to processing time and performance with our large customer base.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is fast."
"It stands out as an exceptional choice for businesses seeking a comprehensive ERP solution that offers a range of features, including finance, payroll, and HR modules, making it more than just a retail tool."
"The tool is on the same screen as Microsoft and Windows, which makes it easier for end users to learn. Its features are good, and the solution's integration is without challenges."
"The most valuable features of Dynamics 365 Sales for us are the standard functional power platform applications for business processes."
"Dynamics 365 Sales has a sales feature that is easy to use. It is easy to understand and use."
"What makes Dynamics 365 Sales interesting is the new AI capabilities through CoPilot, which can help write in NLP and look through what's happening on the opportunities without getting into the details."
"Dynamics 365 Sales is a stable solution with good documentation."
"The AI provides insights about the customer."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"It is quite robust and flexible; you can develop almost anything you want, and when you go into the tools, you can do anything you want."
"We moved from an excel sheet to Siebel so it did help us initially in digitizing CRM related business processes and was positioned as single source of truth for CRM."
"The flexibility is very good."
"If you have a proper business case and a large enterprise where you need to manage more than a million customers then it's a highly recommended solution."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"Siebel CRM has enhanced customer engagement for our organization, particularly through its robust data model and flexible features. One specific scenario where Siebel CRM excelled was in addressing complex client requirements. For instance, we successfully implemented a module for email responses, a feature that was not readily available or as robust as other CRM tools. Additionally, Siebel's open UI module allowed us to customize the user interface for one of our clients completely. This customization proved to be a major selling point for our company."
 

Cons

"I found it significantly complex and not user-friendly."
"Making it more budget-friendly would be beneficial."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The solution needs to include accurate and free online tutorials."
"I have not noticed anything that I would recommend for improvement so far."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"An area for improvement is the integration with WhatsApp. Currently, it is available only through a third party, which incurs additional costs."
"The pricing must be improved."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"Server may response very slowly if effective load balancing is not done."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"Very complex (User setup, Account imports, EIM on Opportunity, Marketing). In summary, we had to struggle a lot to get the software running with all relevant data."
"Siebel CRM should improve its UI. Because it's all about the customer experience and how the customer experiences it, the internal customer is more important for CRM than the people handling the company. So, you get frustrated if you don't have a very good user interface and user experience."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and modern. The Oracle Siebel documentation contains many links, and finding specific information takes time."
"Siebel is pricey compared to other CRM tools. That's the problem. Although it's a highly stable and functionally rich application, customers are not willing to pay that price for it. Customers can find CRM software that gives them similar functionality at a lower price. There are so many others on the market like Salesforce."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is very similar to that of other solutions like Salesforce CRM."
"The platform is expensive."
"Dynamics 365 Sales' pricing is in the middle. It's not expensive like SAP and Oracle."
"The pricing is challenging, which is particularly relevant for countries like Pakistan and others with limited budgets."
"This solution is expensive compared to other solutions in the market. This makes it difficult to convince our customers to use it. The customers who are already using Siebel have thought about moving to Velocity or Salesforce."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of Siebel CRM depends on the usage of the business requirement. For large enterprises the price it's very good but if you are using it for medium scale enterprises, the price is very expensive."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"I think the tool’s pricing is exaggerated. Once you do the price sizing as per your business needs, you would find that the price of other solutions like Zoho CRM, HubSpot CRM, Salesforce CRM, etc. would be always the same."
