Manages prospecting and identifies the entire sales lifecycle for a prospect
The solution has improved our workflow by providing a centralized solution. It is a one-stop solution that allows us to analyze the sales pipeline and plan activities for specific customers, giving us insights into our approach to prospects. The key improvements include the ability to cross-sell capabilities and identify conversion influencing factors, which we can use to convert customers. The most valuable features in this solution are the activity tracking for a particular prospect, deal sizing, deal valuation, the entire ecosystem of the deal, and the contact person associated with the deal. The tool is quite user-friendly. When we started using it, it was quite clear how to use it. It is a very user-friendly platform, so adopting it had no significant issues. One valuable feature is that it automatically integrates into HubSpot when you write an email to a prospect and include a specific email ID. This gives clear insights into ongoing communications, eliminating information hiding. This feature helps in understanding the entire historical aspect of a prospect, even if the person originally handling it is unavailable.

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

"The customer service and support are very good because every time I need something, they reply immediately even in the free version."
"HubSpot Sales Hub is a good integration tool. It helps us with other platforms. We can integrate data quite easily."
"The solution has improved our workflow by providing a centralized solution. It is a one-stop solution that allows us to analyze the sales pipeline and plan activities for specific customers, giving us insights into our approach to prospects. The key improvements include the ability to cross-sell capabilities and identify conversion influencing factors, which we can use to convert customers."
"The solution is very straightforward to utilize."
"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."
"I like the tool's flexibility. It allows us to customize our sales cycle approach. However, this flexibility can be challenging, as there are many options to consider."
"It provides efficient business forecasts."
"I found the interface to be modern and intuitive. It offers excellent documentation and guidance for effectively managing sales pipelines."
"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."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"The flexibility is very good."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"There have been some challenges related to workflow customization and terminology."
"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 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."
"The initial setup process is not very complicated."
"There have been many instances where we later identified certain customers that should have been on our target list yet were not."
"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."
"It would be good to be able to add AI and make it easier to integrate the tool with our day-to-day processes."
"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."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"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."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"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."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"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."
 

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."
"We have to pay for licenses. They are not expensive."
"The solution is very affordable from the perspective of the features."
"The tool's licensing offers value."
"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 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."
"HubSpot Sales Hub is priced reasonably. There are other solutions available that are affordable as compared to HubSpot Sales Hub. They are one of the market leaders, the price tag is good at this point."
"From a pricing point of view, it was 1,000 dollars per month. The solution was worth the money paid for it."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"The product is expensive."
