Helps business track their customers, sales leads, and opportunities
An area for improvement is the vendors' inability to understand the customers' requirements and communicate them to Oracle. When we started to implement the tool, and during the very initial phases of the product, when Oracle launched it, our company opted for it. We faced a few challenges related to the product speed associated with some functionalities that were not available when the tool was just launched, but later on, it became available, and right now, we are actually using it. The tool is fulfilling our requirements. There were no major hiccups or challenges due to the tool. The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future.

Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.

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

"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
"The most important feature is the ability to assign a plan using the manual close function."
"Oracle Connect as a feature within CRM is valuable for establishing and maintaining customer relationships, enabling users to see customer details and interact graphically with relationships."
"It is very simple."
"The product is straightforward to set up. There's no difficulty."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is user-friendly and the fact that the database handling is much better, like any other Oracle solution."
"The forecasting reporting section was the most useful."
"Oracle CRM's best feature is its ability to customize as per specific organization's requirements."
"Stable and scalable with good technical support."
"Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"The solution is completely cloud-based and very easy to access from anywhere."
"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally."
"There is a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"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 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 is the number one CRM product in the world."
"Siebel CRM has enhanced customer engagement for our organization, particularly through its robust data model and flexible features. One specific scenario where Siebel CRM excelled was in addressing complex client requirements. For instance, we successfully implemented a module for email responses, a feature that was not readily available or as robust as other CRM tools. Additionally, Siebel's open UI module allowed us to customize the user interface for one of our clients completely. This customization proved to be a major selling point for our company."
"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 solution is scalable."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
 

Cons

"Their support could be faster. Like any other solution provider, in some cases, it takes time to get their response, and sometimes, they do not fix the issue in the first round. Therefore, we have to go through another round."
"I think Oracle CRM could improve its user interface and user experience to make it more engaging. Currently, it has a more traditional enterprise look, but I believe it could benefit from more catchy and engaging colours and designs to better engage with users and stakeholders. While the capabilities might be there, the interface may not be very inviting for first-time users."
"Improvements could be made in automating certain tasks, such as automatically notifying me via email when a customer has signed off on a proposal. Some of these features require payment, but including them in the basic package for smaller companies would be beneficial."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."
"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."
"Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise."
"I would like to see more AI usage, enhanced personalization capabilities, and simpler integration capabilities."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"The vendor must provide a user-friendly mobile application."
"When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve."
"One suggestion I have is to shorten the IT team's response time. When we submit an ASR or similar request, it takes a while to receive a response, and this can be seen as a drawback."
"The product's initial setup phase was very difficult."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"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."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"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 documentation needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"The product has average pricing."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"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."
"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 product is expensive."
"Its licensing is yearly."
