Seamless integration boosts workflow through custom connectivity
The main advantage is its ease of use, and it comes with multiple connectors that can be used to integrate several other systems. The most important feature for us is the ability to plan workflows and integrate other systems manually, even without native connectivity. This is significant because we have connected our internal systems to HubSpot Sales Hub using the API. Another valuable feature is the email tracking module. Once a person is tracked, it adds all the metadata into the platform for later audit or progress tracing of the email. The custom reporting functionality is very helpful. We have been using custom reporting with HubSpot Sales Hub to get periodic reports and see the progress of certain projects. It helps us plan our sales strategy by tracking variables based on project size or site projects. We can link these projects to data and components, which helps us strategically plan based on the reports. The associated lists feature is new, though it has certain limitations when exporting data. HubSpot Sales Hub provides 95% flexibility in terms of allowing us to export, transform data, and bring it back. However, there are some limitations with the associated list feature and the API in terms of flexibility.

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 most valuable feature of the solution is the tracking of customer interaction and client introduction."
"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."
"Overall, I give HubSpot Sales Hub a rating of ten because it is a strong platform for sales."
"The customer service and support are very good because every time I need something, they reply immediately even in the free version."
"It provides efficient business forecasts."
"HubSpot Sales Hub is a good integration tool. It helps us with other platforms. We can integrate data quite easily."
"The product helps us to identify coincidences and work to build a model that will allow us to identify opportunities."
"The tool has improved my sales pipeline management. It allows me to track the progress of each sales cycle and receive alerts when a sales stage is ending, prompting me to take necessary actions. I can easily manage customer interactions, primarily through email, which are automatically associated with the corresponding lead or opportunity. This helps me forecast sales. Additionally, the tool offers other useful tools for marketing and email marketing activities."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
 

Cons

"The solution is good, but it could be more straightforward."
"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."
"When it comes to the UI part of the product, it looks very novice and definitely not something meant for an enterprise-grade level business."
"There have been some challenges related to workflow customization and terminology."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the dashboard. If we can actually connect it to maybe a Power BI or some dynamic reporting tool where we can actually slice and dice, that would be really great."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"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."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"We have to pay for licenses. They are not expensive."
"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten. It becomes expensive when you add more features and users."
"The tool's licensing offers value."
"The solution is very affordable from the perspective of the features."
"From a pricing point of view, it was 1,000 dollars per month. The solution was worth the money paid for it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
