Featured Reviews

Charles Dickens - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

"It has nice features and matches our pipeline. Even in the free version, all of the features are available."
"The feature that I find valuable is the customer 360-degree view and the marketing automation."
"The reporting is very flexible."
"It's fairly simple to use. For configuration, it provides quite a bit of information to the salespeople at the fingertips."
"Hubspot CRM also lets you make calls and send emails directly."
"It avoids creating duplicate records by updating Salesforce automatically when changes occur in HubSpot CRM."
"Very scalable CRM platform with multiple functions, e.g. marketing, ticketing, and service."
"The automations that HubSpot provides, such as creating sequences and the playbooks they have, are valuable."
"The solution is scalable."
"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 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."
"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."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
 

Cons

"The scoring functionality in Salesforce is better. HubSpot CRM should improve its scoring feature."
"HubSpot CRM could be flexible and customizable."
"They need better UX or templates to change the mood or the look and feel."
"It will make it easier for us to automate if HubSpot would put in a little bit of work on the properties."
"The solution's user interface can be simpler with features that are easy to navigate."
"I cannot upload a long recorded Zoom conversation to HubSpot."
"Right now, HubSpot CRM fills my needs. The solution is good for marketing, and you can schedule when you want your ads and your emails to be sent out to your clients. You can track your client pipeline, you can see who viewed your messages and who hasn't, etc. I feel that HubSpot CRM is adequate for my need, but if the solution has the functionality of not needing to input your password every single time you log into the platform, then that would make it better. If that could be incorporated into the new version of HubSpot CRM, then the solution would go a long way."
"HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality."
"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."
"It is difficult to set up."
"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 user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"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."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HubSpot CRM has a free version, which is why small companies prefer it. The paid version of this software needs to be priced better."
"The price of the solution could improve because it is expensive."
"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."
"HubSpot CRM is affordable."
"The cost of HubSpot CRM is less than the cost of Freshsales."
"We use a paid version of Hubspot and we have an annual license."
"The pricing for this solution is user based. We're paying $39 to $45 per user."
"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."
"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."
"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."
