Integrated customer data has improved visibility and supports data driven sales decisions
The biggest friction point I have encountered with Oracle CX Sales has been user adoption, as sales teams are accustomed to using separate sheets, emails, or legacy CRMs, making it difficult to run and maintain data consistency. Data migration issues arise when customer data comes from multiple systems, leading to duplicates, incomplete, or inconsistent records that need to be cleaned. Additionally, the integration complexity of connecting with ERP, marketing, and other enterprise applications requires ensuring real-time synchronization, addressing varying business needs, and reaching agreement during workshops can take time. Change management is also challenging, as users often resist change and require additional communication and training to stabilize processes. If I could change one thing about Oracle CX Sales to make my workflow easier, it would be to simplify some of the configuration and customization projects. While Oracle CX Sales is very powerful, certain customizations and integrations can require advanced expertise, increasing implementation times and complexity. I would also simplify the user interface to enhance the experience for occasional users, as new users sometimes need additional training.

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 best practice business processes of PROMATIS helped us to implement an integrated process orientiented system."
"Simplicity is key, and that's improved our organization."
"The solution integrates well."
"It covers sales very well, covers 90% of the customer's needs, offers good WhatsApp and SMS integration, and is pretty straightforward to set up while being stable and reliable."
"Oracle CX Sales can be used for customer orders and the entire customer journey."
"Account management is a very good feature, it is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account, and the data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"In terms of features, it is pretty much like other cloud solutions for sales force management, and it has definitely improved the way our organization functions."
"The main purpose of Oracle CX Sales is to calculate the ROI, and if you have a clear understanding of what is the best ROI per campaign, you are going to invest in the right place and avoid spending with zero or low ROI."
"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."
"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."
"It is a stable solution, but because it is an on-premises one, we have slow response rates at times."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's very stable."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"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."
 

Cons

"The biggest friction point or frustration I encountered with Oracle CX Sales is the complexity at times, especially when navigating deeper workflows or trying to customize reports and processes."
"Support is very poor."
"The initial setup of Oracle CX Sales is very complex."
"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."
"The address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."
"The data import process has grown a little since earlier releases. In the recent releases (8 and above), this process has improved but not much."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"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 solution itself is very heavy."
"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."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"The problem with Siebel is that everything is customizable in it. It's probably over-engineered, which makes it difficult to use, and it makes it difficult for the users to get started with the system."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"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

"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"The price is reasonable."
"The product is pricey."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
