Helps business track their customers, sales leads, and opportunities
An area for improvement is the vendors' inability to understand the customers' requirements and communicate them to Oracle. When we started to implement the tool, and during the very initial phases of the product, when Oracle launched it, our company opted for it. We faced a few challenges related to the product speed associated with some functionalities that were not available when the tool was just launched, but later on, it became available, and right now, we are actually using it. The tool is fulfilling our requirements. There were no major hiccups or challenges due to the tool. The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future.

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

"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically enrich deals by connecting to APIs. This allows me to gather additional information about companies, number of employees, and data from the previous year. Having this information helps me understand the size of the company better and tailor my proposals accordingly."
"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"I find the reporting features impactful."
"Currently it's meeting all our needs, hence the migration about six months ago that we moved from on-premise to OCI, to the cloud-based platform to add additional capacity and analytics."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"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."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"The solution is scalable."
"The tool's complaint management feature is very good. We used a CRM before, which lacked the integrations, so complaints had to be handled manually. With Siebel CRM, we have better integrations and can resolve complaints with a few clicks. When you're in the service industry, tasks matter a lot, especially when you have to access multiple systems to address issues. Being a bank, we currently have around 17 operational systems. It's not feasible to expect users to access them individually to make the necessary changes."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
 

Cons

"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"The user interface and performance could be better."
"It’s complex to customize the tool."
"Improvements could be made in automating certain tasks, such as automatically notifying me via email when a customer has signed off on a proposal. Some of these features require payment, but including them in the basic package for smaller companies would be beneficial."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
"The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and modern. The Oracle Siebel documentation contains many links, and finding specific information takes time."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"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."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"It is difficult to set up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
