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.

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

"It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"It is one of the most proficient CRM tools out there. It is comprehensive and scalable. It covers most of the CRM activities, business lines, and business requirements."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"Everything is managed by Oracle, so they have security in place."
"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"There is a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"Previously, my clients used a smaller ERP system, not a major one. However, they have now transitioned to Oracle, which provides them with a more extensive range of options. Unlike before, it's now an integrated system that covers various aspects, including finance, supply chain management, and other functionalities."
"It has provided a faster turnaround time. We were able to automate a number of transactional tasks and return that extra time to taking care of customers."
"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"The solution is scalable."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"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 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."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"The flexibility is very good."
"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."
 

Cons

"In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic."
"The one thing that I hate about it is when you pay for services for a certain amount of time, the service ends just before it should be over. For example, I may pay for a month of service, but it will tell me the service is over before the month ends."
"It’s complex to customize the tool."
"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."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future."
"The user interface and performance could be better."
"Oracle counts users for licensing purposes, regardless of their roles or usage patterns. This process could be better."
"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"The product's initial setup phase was very difficult."
"The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) need significant improvement, especially in the older on-premises versions."
"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."
"Oracle Fusion Service needs to improve its documentation part because we do not have proper documentation."
"Oracle changed the means by which users are created in the system. I would like this to be easier to implement."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and modern. The Oracle Siebel documentation contains many links, and finding specific information takes time."
"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."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"It is difficult to set up."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"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."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"The product has average pricing."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"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 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."
