Effortlessly manage relationships with seamless contact data integration
The primary area to improve is creating deployable packages. When I buy into HubSpot, I have a list of checks, however, I am left to figure out how to use it. I start with a budget, and it's just a persistent sales demand. HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality. It is important to be clear about what it doesn't provide or what else is needed. I can outfit myself with my own tools or other options as I evaluate the board. They are building businesses for themselves. However, there's always a limiting function encountered. Understanding limitations upon entry would be beneficial so I don't constantly stumble upon unknown constraints. A package covering everything in a particular area without requiring the entire purchase would be excellent.

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 solution is easy to use and easy to implement."
"The solution's most valuable features stem mostly from the sequencing of marketing automation."
"The most valuable feature is their marketing automation service and sales lead management."
"The interface is good."
"The best thing about HubSpot is its clear workflow. Anyone can understand the flows of your contacts, your emails, their delivery dates, and the reasons behind their movements."
"I like how you can track one account from marketing to closing the deal. For example, suppose you generated a lead through marketing, you can then track it through to when the deal is closed."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its free version, where you can store around 10,00,000 records in HubSpot CRM for free if you have a business email ID."
"HubSpot CRM helps our company to organize and track a high number of leads easily."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"The solution is scalable."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
 

Cons

"The scoring functionality in Salesforce is better. HubSpot CRM should improve its scoring feature."
"A better CRM can be achieved by providing more customization features. Some areas require improvement, particularly in enhancing customization options."
"I cannot upload a long recorded Zoom conversation to HubSpot."
"Ease of use is the most essential feature for us. HubSpot is intuitive, so you can learn everything just by exploring and trying it out yourself. The user interface is straightforward, and it's easy to pick that up."
"From the perspective of continuous improvements needed in the product, I would want the tool to be able to pull out more information about clients."
"It will make it easier for us to automate if HubSpot would put in a little bit of work on the properties."
"HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality."
"The only problem with HubSpot at the moment is the pricing models."
"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."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using HubSpot CRM’s free version."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"There are a few licensing payment models, such as annual or monthly. The solution is modular, which means that if you need a specific capability or function within the organization, you can purchase it specifically and you don't have to purchase something that is only utilized by 20 percent of the organization."
"The pricing is in a midrange if you line up the marketing tools."
"The price of HubSpot CRM is expensive."
"It's in the upper range. If 10 represents the most expensive, I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. Its price also depends on the size of your team."
"The cost of HubSpot CRM is less than the cost of Freshsales."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"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."
"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."
