Enterprise ticketing has streamlined high-volume customer issues and provides unified analytics
The place where you can define the rules is at the back end. That module, where you write the assignment rules or the skill set rules or prioritization rules, has very limited flexibility in these rules engines. More flexible rule-defining back ends that you can customize to your business context more closely than you can right now would be better. Customization for the information design in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service is needed. The foundational information that goes into service management comes as foundational information that you need to program into or load into the service management platform. Right now, you need to change the rules to load them in the format that is required, and this should not be happening. AI capabilities in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service are more focused on the productivity aspects and the backend aspects. It is not personalizing interactions. The CRM part is more where these kinds of front-end customer personalizations take place.

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 insights are quite helpful."
"We have observed a savings of about ten percent on staffing costs and a twenty percent increase in customer satisfaction, highlighting a significant reduction in customer effort."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service is enterprise-grade, and if you have 5,000, 10,000, or 20,000 employees who are involved in the business of resolving tickets and providing customer support or who are part of these kinds of processes, that is when Dynamics really shines."
"Offers integration with hosted solutions."
"It has easy-to-use customization features."
"I liked the solution's web version and user interface."
"Collaboration, pace of change, new features being rolled out, and support service are the valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service."
"The data is always available to the users regardless of location because of the tool's cloud-based nature. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a perfect ten. The product is highly scalable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service stands out due to its rich features, ease of deployment, and straightforward licensing structure."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"They could improve the components to be more user-friendly. It needs to be more interactive for new users to operate."
"The platform’s UI could be better."
"The product is expensive. It keeps improving. Once you've invested a lot in it, switching to a different system is hard."
"The main area for improvement is the pricing model. While it is competitive within the market, there is room for improvement, as is the case with most software vendors."
"The product doesn’t meet standard functionality. There should be enough features included in it."
"The technical support should be dramatically improved."
"I believe enhancing the user interface to improve user experience and simplifying customization processes would enhance the platform."
"I didn't like the solution very much because its functionality is a bit typical and old-fashioned, and the entire system needs upgrading."
"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 tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"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 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 backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair."
"The product's licensing is straightforward. It's user-based, so you decide how many users you want to license, and that's it. On the value-for-money scale, it's average. You do get what you pay for, so I wouldn't call it expensive."
"I rate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing a five out of ten."
"In terms of cost, the product offers competitive pricing for its feature set."
"The solution has a corporate enterprise license, which large corporations sign."
"It is a decent price compared to multiple vendors and products available in the market."
"It is more expensive than other vendors."
"The tool is a bit on the expensive side if we purchase it individually."
"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 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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
