Has enabled seamless integration across platforms while supporting advanced analytics for customer insights
Microsoft Dynamics CRM doesn't provide solutions that allow you to transform easily if you have a heterogeneous mix of technologies or if your contact center is on analog and you try to digitize it. A lot of custom work is needed if you have to integrate heterogeneous technologies with the Microsoft suite, but if you are using the Microsoft suite, then it's quite seamless. Microsoft Dynamics CRM should add commercial models that allow smaller companies to use it because it can get pretty expensive. Better commercial options for smaller implementations may be helpful. There should be commercial options for smaller companies, as the overheads and costs of Dynamics can be quite high.

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 history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution."
"The integration of all data within Microsoft Dynamics CRM, including customer and lead management, is very beneficial."
"The most valuable feature is that because this solution uses the cloud, you only have to install it and allocate it to a user, making it quite easy to use."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has plenty of valuable features."
"The way it effectively works with the array of other Microsoft tools, such as Azure, is valuable. It works very well with the use of data linking and things like that. Overall, it is a great overall tool to have an effective understanding of the transactional background of each of our customers."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has plenty of valuable features."
"The integration with the Microsoft suite, such as Office 365 and SharePoint, offers significant benefits for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, as ninety percent of organizations are already on the Microsoft suite, leading to quick integration and system setup."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"If you have a proper business case and a large enterprise where you need to manage more than a million customers then it's a highly recommended solution."
"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."
"EAI and workflows are the most valuable features."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"We would like to see the tech support for this product improved, at present we are frequently waiting for a couple of days before we receive any response."
"The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by having integration with Slack. Additionally, the solution is incomplete, and we must use other solutions to fulfill our needs."
"Not structured for small Bussiness. Most likely will need a systems integrator for effective use."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not that customizable, you can customize it, but a lot of it is still pre-built in a way that you have a lot of details in there that you don't need."
"If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal."
"From a marketing standpoint, there's room for improvement in the lead process of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and modern. The Oracle Siebel documentation contains many links, and finding specific information takes time."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"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."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"We had opened several cases. I am not at all satisfied with the support of Oracle."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten with one being expensive and ten being of great value, I would rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM at six on pricing."
"The cost depends on a number of factors, so whoever is implementing it will need to take that into consideration before it is done."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution. However, most good CRMs are expensive."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
