Featured Reviews

ThomasPetrou - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration across functionalities has streamlined business operations and improved cost efficiency
Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented. Additionally, some underlying technologies need refactoring to more modern structures. Although it's not immediately necessary since the system works, changes to the architecture would be beneficial. From the transition from version 17 to 18, it appears they are aware and have begun addressing some of these concerns.
ShirazShah - PeerSpot reviewer
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 product is stable...The product is scalable."
"All modules in Odoo are integrated together, providing seamless transitions across various functionalities."
"Being open source, it is more affordable compared to alternatives like Oracle or SAP, and I appreciate how easy it is to customize with the available sources."
"I like the helpdesk module, and I like the simplicity of integration among their modules. All the modules are very well integrated, and you can move among the modules in an easy way."
"We like how the solution is integrated."
"What I find the most valuable about Odoo is its simplicity."
"The most valuable features of Odoo are its customization and the fact that I can add modules whenever I want to the solution and the customization."
"With Odoo, being open source is advantageous because we have access to the source code for whatever we develop. This gives us the flexibility to make additions, deletions, or modifications according to our needs without any restrictions. There are no predefined formats that limit our customization options."
"The tool's complaint management feature is very good. We used a CRM before, which lacked the integrations, so complaints had to be handled manually. With Siebel CRM, we have better integrations and can resolve complaints with a few clicks. When you're in the service industry, tasks matter a lot, especially when you have to access multiple systems to address issues. Being a bank, we currently have around 17 operational systems. It's not feasible to expect users to access them individually to make the necessary changes."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"The flexibility is very good."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
 

Cons

"Currently, the regional office is in Dubai, and I believe it would be beneficial to establish a regional office in Pakistan to enhance support and accessibility for users in our country."
"Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics."
"Odoo could be better integrated with our warehouse management system."
"Odoo provides their apps on mobile, but it is not good enough, especially for my clients."
"The solution should improve its performance."
"The performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface."
"Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented."
"The range of choices and functionalities has space for enhancement."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"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."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"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 user interface could be more intuitive and modern. The Oracle Siebel documentation contains many links, and finding specific information takes time."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Odoo's pricing a six out of ten."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. It is not an expensive solution, especially in my country."
"Odoo is cheap compared to competitors."
"I would rate the price as a one out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"They offer three packages – free, standard, and custom."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
