IT Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Has improved process coverage and integration while offering strong analytics and user experience
The analytics and reporting functionalities of Oracle CRM are good. I would rate them eight to nine out of ten, but it slightly falls behind Salesforce, which is much more advanced in terms of meeting the process and analytics part. The integration of Oracle CRM with other Oracle applications is seamless; that's not a problem at all. The biggest advantage of Oracle CRM for me is the process coverage, ease of use, the UI, and obviously a good amount of analytics; these are the few strengths and seamless integration with any platform. The multichannel service support has an impact on my customer service operations.

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."
"Oracle CRM is used for sales activities; we can create customers, opportunities, codes submitted, reporting, and forecasting."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"It helps our company interact with our customers, track leads and opportunities, determine how many opportunities are transferred into actual sales, and other such areas."
"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"It is one of the most proficient CRM tools out there; it is comprehensive and scalable, and it covers most of the CRM activities, business lines, and business requirements."
"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."
"It provides you an end-to-end offering but with heavy weight offerings."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"EAI and workflows are the most valuable features."
"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."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"Siebel is easy to configure and comes with various pre-built industry verticals, so it doesn't require much effort. If you want to roll out Siebel in telecom or manufacturing, they have the verticals."
"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."
"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 offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
 

Cons

"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"The data visualization should be better in Oracle CRM."
"Oracle should improve its hosted applications such as Oracle CRM with more flexible, effective and state-of-the-art enhancements, rather than abandoning them and leading its clientele using the hosted applications to Cloud applications."
"This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable."
"Sometimes, we encountered stability issues."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"There are a lot of batches and technical issues."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"Server may response very slowly if effective load balancing is not done."
"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."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"The analytics component has been the main pain point for our organization, particularly due to processing time and performance with our large customer base."
"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."
"The UI could be improved by being fully cloud native as this is what our customers are looking for. It would also be great to see what updates are coming up for release and for updates to take place automatically without manual intervention."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"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."
"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."
"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."
