Featured Reviews

ThomasPetrou - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at Mazi4u
Integration across functionalities has streamlined business operations and improved cost efficiency
Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented. Additionally, some underlying technologies need refactoring to more modern structures. Although it's not immediately necessary since the system works, changes to the architecture would be beneficial. From the transition from version 17 to 19, it appears they are aware and have begun addressing some of these concerns.
ShirazShah - PeerSpot reviewer
CRM Specialist at Allied Bank Limited
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

"We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features."
"It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution."
"We like how the solution is integrated."
"Being open source, it is more affordable compared to alternatives like Oracle or SAP, and I appreciate how easy it is to customize with the available sources."
"The versatility of Odoo is one of its most valuable features for business productivity. It offers modules for purchase, inventory, manufacturing, sales, help desk, timesheets, point of sale, email marketing, and more, which can greatly benefit businesses."
"What I appreciate most about this solution is its ease of customization compared to other products. Odoo is straightforward and simpler to customize. Additionally, it offers stability by decentralizing the entire ERP with multiple products, making management and support more efficient. Moreover, the availability of talent in India is a key advantage, as the salaries for Odoo professionals are relatively lower than SAP or Oracle ERP professionals. This makes it easier for us to find suitable talent for projects seamlessly."
"Odoo operates on a subscription-based model, ensuring access to the most up-to-date version at all times."
"The most beneficial feature of Odoo is its wide community and store, allowing users to purchase solutions and resolve any problems quickly."
"The solution is scalable."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"The best thing about the tool is its data model. The underlying data model refers to how the data is stored in databases. We can also experience the ease of developing anything with the tool. We can customize any functionality as per any business challenge."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"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."
"EAI and workflows are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented."
"They could thoroughly study the market dynamics of different regions and connecting areas."
"Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."
"They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features."
"The sales model is not the best, and it lacks certain features."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities."
"The solution is good, but the user interface is not the best."
"Odoo could be better integrated with our warehouse management system."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"I want Oracle to improve the tool’s UI with a vanilla application. I would also like to see an insurance broking vertical in their future releases. There are thousands of brokers who look for an insurance broking solution."
"It is not easy to set up. It's a bit difficult."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. It is not an expensive solution, especially in my country."
"It is very affordable for any type of business. And this is one of the main advantages of Odoo. Small businesses can subscribe and this is a very good feature."
"Currently, we pay around 5000-6,000 USD per month, though I am not sure. We have to pay additionally for maintenance and support."
"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."
"The solution's licensing costs are low compared to its competitors."
"I would rate the price as a one out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"Odoo is cheap compared to competitors."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
