IlyasAhmad - PeerSpot reviewer
A versatile and scalable CRM solution that streamlines business processes with its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with Microsoft platforms
The support they provide is quite commendable. When I was exploring various features of Office 365, being relatively new to it, I encountered a few challenges. Upon raising a support ticket on the Microsoft platform, I not only received prompt emails but also phone calls and engaging sessions. The Microsoft support engineers proved to be very helpful, and I appreciated their structured escalation metrics. Starting with basic assistance, they escalate the ticket to senior technicians if needed, ensuring comprehensive problem resolution. Another notable aspect is the abundance of Microsoft support resources, including videos, articles, and documentation, providing ample guidance for users. The support system offers a wealth of information, making it a valuable resource for problem-solving. I would rate it nine out of ten.

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.

Pros

"Dynamics 365 Sales facilitates remote access, allowing sales teams to work efficiently from mobile devices."
"It stands out as an exceptional choice for businesses seeking a comprehensive ERP solution that offers a range of features, including finance, payroll, and HR modules, making it more than just a retail tool."
"Dynamics 365 Sales assists in streamlining the sales cycle by reducing it by 30%."
"The tool is on the same screen as Microsoft and Windows, which makes it easier for end users to learn. Its features are good, and the solution's integration is without challenges."
"Dynamics 365 Sales is a stable solution with good documentation."
"Microsoft 365, in its entirety, provides a collaborative environment that allows me to connect to multiple tools, including email, drive, and cloud hosting folders."
"The solution is fast."
"It allows effective management of the follow-ups of leads and potential opportunities."
"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 used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"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 solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"The flexibility is very good."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"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."
 

Cons

"They could improve the product's integration with Teams for seamless collaboration and enhanced administrative functionalities to reduce manual tasks."
"The pricing must be improved."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"Making it more budget-friendly would be beneficial."
"The solution needs an improved connection to AI."
"The solution needs to include accurate and free online tutorials."
"I found it significantly complex and not user-friendly."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"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."
"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 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 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."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"I want Oracle to improve the tool’s UI with a vanilla application. I would also like to see an insurance broking vertical in their future releases. There are thousands of brokers who look for an insurance broking solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is very similar to that of other solutions like Salesforce CRM."
"Dynamics 365 Sales operates on an annual licensing basis."
"The pricing is challenging, which is particularly relevant for countries like Pakistan and others with limited budgets."
"The platform is expensive."
"Dynamics 365 Sales' pricing is in the middle. It's not expensive like SAP and Oracle."
"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."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
