Streamline order processing and client credit status checks with ease
It offers a facility to get data quickly. We handle approximately 500 to 600 orders per day, and the product is excellent for extracting and implementing solutions to check various parameters like client credit status. It is very easy to configure facilities to extract orders and adjust solutions to business needs.

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

"It is a very scalable solution."
"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."
"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc."
"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."
"It offers a facility to get data quickly."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities."
"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"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."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
 

Cons

"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."
"They could include marketing automation for the product."
"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"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."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"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 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."
"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

"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"The product is expensive."
