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

"Collaboration, pace of change, new features being rolled out, and support service are the valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service."
"I find the advanced case management capabilities and the ability to track the SLAs of the product particularly valuable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness. Being part of the Microsoft 365 suite, it is easy to use and understand, much like Excel."
"Dynamics CRM is highly effective for managing customer relationships and improving sales processes."
"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's most valuable features are the ability to create meetups for customers and support daily business functions."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service has valuable customization features."
"Offers integration with hosted solutions."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"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."
"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 CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"The solution is scalable."
"The flexibility is very good."
 

Cons

"The product doesn’t meet standard functionality. There should be enough features included in it."
"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 integration with our on-premise systems was challenging due to the specific protocols required. Simplifying this process would be beneficial."
"The solution could better integrate with other enterprise solutions."
"The product could be serverless."
"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 solution could improve by providing internal scorecards for agents and much better staff ratings. There's room for enhancing the engagement features."
"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."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"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."
"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 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 backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"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 pricing seems fair."
"It is a decent price compared to multiple vendors and products available in the market."
"The solution has a corporate enterprise license, which large corporations sign."
"In terms of cost, the product offers competitive pricing for its feature set."
"It is more expensive than other vendors."
"While it will apply to all employees, not all will utilize it fully. From a cost perspective, it strikes a balance: It's not overly expensive but also not too cheap."
"I rate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
