CRM has supported contract tracking and customer insight while reporting remains secondary
I use Oracle software internally. I'm also selling project management software, automation software, and network operation software within the company to our customers. The Oracle solutions I use include making quotes with CPQ, making Oracle engagement clouds, and a little bit of CRM system functionality. I'm not the owner of it. I'm only using it to have admin access for my customers here. I'm not involved with any decision on what we're using at Broadcom for Oracle. We did a certain type of adoption in Oracle. We made a certain object for it, and that works pretty well. The only thing is that customizing and making extra fields takes a little bit of a long time. However, if you do customize it, it works out well for that part.

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 implement for the customers and they were benefited by having a better 360-degree customer view, a reduced operation cost, an improved market spending and tracking its effectiveness, quick go-to-market, improved sales, SLA-based servicing etc."
"The reporting features are valuable."
"Oracle CRM accommodates client needs, potentially reducing licensing costs with a pay-as-you-go approach. It also allows for the standardization of processes and reporting, which is important for our organization. Additionally, integration through APIs improves connectivity."
"I find the reporting features impactful."
"Oracle Connect as a feature within CRM is valuable for establishing and maintaining customer relationships, enabling users to see customer details and interact graphically with relationships."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."
"The product has very good quality to price, has a stable and powerful configuration, and allows your business to fulfill the required processes."
"It's very stable."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a stable solution, but because it is an on-premises one, we have slow response rates at times."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, we encountered stability issues."
"The one thing that I hate about it is when you pay for services for a certain amount of time, the service ends just before it should be over. For example, I may pay for a month of service, but it will tell me the service is over before the month ends."
"The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"The configuration requires a lot of technical intervention."
"My experience with Oracle when it comes to price negotiation was very bad."
"Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"The latest versions of this solution are not stable. I have been working on the latest version for three and a half years and I'm still experiencing issues with stability."
"We had opened several cases. I am not at all satisfied with the support of Oracle."
"Oracle needs to improve its support. The major drawback I've observed with Siebel CRM is that Oracle hasn't taken appropriate steps to improve it since 2019. We noticed a steep downfall because Oracle was slow to roll out upgrades like Open UI. By the time these upgrades were available, the market had shifted to cloud solutions, which competitors were already providing much earlier."
"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."
"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

"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
