Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.

Customizable and flexible but user experience needs enhancement
Siebel is not user-friendly. There are so many tabs and different features that until it's explained to someone, they will not understand it. A user-friendly tool is supposed to be designed in a way where the user can log in and intuitively understand how to use it. People who use it regularly are still confused, and it requires a lot of clicks and is very difficult to navigate. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to reflect the correct information—even when it's updated, you have to refresh it again and again to see the right data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally."
"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."
"The solution is completely cloud-based and very easy to access from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that customers can easily understand it."
"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."
"It is quite robust and flexible. You can develop almost anything you want. You go into the tools, and you can do anything you want."
"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."
"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."
"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 offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
 

Cons

"The UI experience needs refinement to enhance user-friendliness."
"The user experience has to be much better."
"Oracle changed the means by which users are created in the system. I would like this to be easier to implement."
"We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product."
"I would like to see more AI usage, enhanced personalization capabilities, and simpler integration capabilities."
"I would like to see more AI usage, enhanced personalization capabilities, and simpler integration capabilities."
"The dependency on the dollar makes these products more costly during disruptions in currency parity, especially in countries like Pakistan."
"Some features that require improvement include the location functionality and certain aspects of the CRM."
"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."
"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."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"The product has average pricing."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"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."
"The product is 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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
