Reliable contact and pipeline management has organized my sales work but email tracking and UI personalization still need improvement
I think the areas of HubSpot Sales Hub that could be improved or enhanced are probably templates that could be a bit smarter and the overall UI, which is not the best.What bothers me about the UI of HubSpot Sales Hub is that it's a bit flat, and it does not allow for the personalization to the point I would want, as I would prefer it to look more like ClickUp tools where I can change the way it looks for my preference. The email tracking feature of HubSpot Sales Hub helps me assess prospect engagement, but I don't think it works well and it needs to be improved; the problem with it is that it recognizes auto-screening in email tools, which means HubSpot Sales Hub thinks an email opened by an end-user is actually an email that is screened, giving me false expectations. The benefits I've seen from custom reporting are quite acceptable, but the only thing I would improve is the Sankey feature; this feature is amazing in theory but it's not working very well, and I don't really understand how it's working. Regarding integration capabilities, I integrate HubSpot Sales Hub with Apollo and Fireflies, and while the Outlook features are acceptable, Outlook should be improved since it's really problematic; the problem is that it's constantly disconnecting, and every time you go to Outlook you have to log in again, which nobody remembers.

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

"There is definitely ROI because it helps manage the overall sales pipeline effectively; without it, we wouldn't be able to manage everything properly or strategically plan our sales strategy."
"The solution makes it easy for you to log in and manage your pipeline. So pipeline management is very easy and simple."
"I would say that there are two features that I found valuable. These two features are the solution's clean UI and ease of setup."
"The tool facilitates adding the relevant information to the records automatically, so you don't have to look things up, as there is an automated search engine and a complete field for you."
"HubSpot Sales Hub provides its users with very user-friendly UX or customization controls."
"I found the interface to be modern and intuitive. It offers excellent documentation and guidance for effectively managing sales pipelines."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tracking of customer interaction and client introduction."
"HubSpot Sales Hub is useful for managing workflows."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"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."
"If you have a proper business case and a large enterprise where you need to manage more than a million customers then it's a highly recommended solution."
"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."
"It is quite robust and flexible; you can develop almost anything you want, and when you go into the tools, 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 CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
 

Cons

"There have been some challenges related to workflow customization and terminology."
"There is a general challenge with CRMs, including HubSpot Sales Hub, where users may not fully understand the system's capabilities. I believe there is a need for better clarification and explanation of what CRMs entail."
"There have been many instances where we later identified certain customers that should have been on our target list yet were not."
"The solution is good, but it could be more straightforward."
"One challenge for us is getting our team engaged in HubSpot. Some of them are not familiar with CRMs, so we spend time training them on HubSpot's features."
"The tool should get better at catching leads. Currently, it works better on catching inbound leads. Whenever a person signs up on the website, HubSpot catches the lead and creates an account. However, it is not 100 percent accurate."
"There are a lot of areas in HubSpot Sales Hub that can improve. It is lacking some direct automation. There are a lot of challenges that we have during the integration. To solve this problem, we are using other third-party tools. They could improve on direct automation."
"The tool doesn't effectively summarize conversations and note-taking features. The solution needs to include predictive analytic capabilities. There is room for improvement in post-call functionalities. After a sales call, more can be done, such as providing detailed insights and better note-taking capabilities. An AI-enabled sales assistant feature would also be beneficial."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"The analytics component has been the main pain point for our organization, particularly due to processing time and performance with our large customer base."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"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."
"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

"The solution is very affordable from the perspective of the features."
"I rate the product price as seven on a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the least expensive."
"The tool's licensing depends on factors like the number of contacts, users, and additional modules. But generally, it's feasible and accessible. A free license is also available, although it comes with limited features. Even the free license is cool to use."
"From a pricing point of view, it was 1,000 dollars per month. The solution was worth the money paid for it."
"We have to pay for licenses. They are not expensive."
"The solution is more on the cheaper side, but not the cheapest. I'd say it's somewhere in the middle. There are cheaper options like Zoho that provide many features at a lower price, but they're not as expensive as Salesforce or SAP."
"The tool's licensing offers value."
"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten. It becomes expensive when you add more features and users."
"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."
"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."
