Omnichannel features have unified journeys and AI now speeds up responses for our agents
NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives. When it comes to solutioning, there are too many SKUs, which are line items or components that could have been bundled together. For example, CXone agent licenses do not include QM in the basic packages, whereas in the Genesis world it is bundled. The price comparison is higher compared to Genesis or other platforms. I have been using Genesis for three to four years across multiple customers, and now that NICE CXone has become available, I have started comparing all the features and benefits. I find there are some gaps, with more features available but at a higher cost for NICE. Regarding cost-effectiveness and return on investment of NICE CXone, the main challenge is working with the NICE team. The speed of onboarding is lengthy and people-dependent initially. When comparing with other OEMs and CCaaS products, the UI interface and partner portal have multiple access points. I need to log into different portals for NICE CXone, whereas my other competitor platforms offer single sign-on where I can log in once and access all partner-led programs and learning materials in one location. There is room for improvement in this area, though gradually NICE can change this approach.

Have faced persistent configuration issues and performance delays that slow down large workflows
From a developer's perspective, it could be more open for programming language configurations. It is currently restricted to Groovy scripting. While UI and UX designs are open to JavaScript configurations, there are restrictions on certain functions that can be used. The solution could be enhanced to better serve customers when dealing with complex programs. The customer's websites face issues with loading properly, and response time gets longer when implementing larger workflows. This could be improved to achieve lower response times even with larger workflows involving multiple system integrations and complex architecture. The agent decay capabilities need improvement in future releases. Currently, there are some agent decay configurations available for developers to implement, but this area needs enhancement. Performance issues exist in the Sandbox area. The Sandbox is a trial area for configurations, but if work continues for a long time without publishing, it tends to get corrupted, requiring deletion and rework from the ground up. This has caused significant rework and effort multiple times. Technical support can be challenging to work with. When facing product-related issues or configuration problems, the support experience varies. Sometimes the technical support is knowledgeable and helpful, but often they redirect problems elsewhere and cause delays in resolution.

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 are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"I assess the impact of the omnichannel capabilities on customer journey consistency as excellent, as it is a single pane of glass solution where all channels and omnichannel features are available, which is very supportive and increases customer productivity overall."
"The solution is completely cloud-based and very easy to access from anywhere."
"Oracle Cloud Services integrates well. It has lots of APIs to integrate with other solutions, like the PBX we use from Cisco. The ability to integrate Siebel data with Cisco PBX was nice."
"It has provided a faster turnaround time. We were able to automate a number of transactional tasks and return that extra time to taking care of customers."
"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"Stable and scalable with good technical support."
"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"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."
"The capability of bringing data into a single system, along with integrations and offering a single platform to handle multiple customer-related tasks, has been the most productive aspect."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"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."
 

Cons

"The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"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."
"The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) need significant improvement, especially in the older on-premises versions."
"Oracle changed the means by which users are created in the system. I would like this to be easier to implement."
"The UI experience needs refinement to enhance user-friendliness."
"Oracle Fusion Service has many challenges, as it's not easy in customization and for adding features; there's no access for the database directly."
"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"Oracle Fusion Service needs to improve its documentation part because we do not have proper documentation."
"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."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"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 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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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