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

"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"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."
"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"Oracle CRM's best feature is its ability to customize as per specific organization's requirements."
"During the demos, Oracle CRM's natural language search feature stood out to me. It departs from the traditional menu-based options, making searches more intuitive. Another significant feature is their Common Data Platform. Including an accounting package as part of the full platform was also appealing."
"The most important feature is the ability to assign a plan using the manual close function."
"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."
"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."
"There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that customers can easily understand it."
"The solution changes the way clients work to make it easier and faster."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud Services integrates well. It has lots of APIs to integrate with other solutions, like the PBX we use from Cisco. The ability to integrate Siebel data with Cisco PBX was nice."
"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."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"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."
"The flexibility is very good."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"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

"This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable."
"The licensing is expensive."
"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
"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."
"I would like to remove all manual work and get the benefits of the function that Oracle provides without any manual interference or paperwork."
"It’s complex to customize the tool."
"The configuration requires a lot of technical intervention."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"The user experience has to be much better."
"Oracle Fusion Service needs to improve its documentation part because we do not have proper documentation."
"Some features that require improvement include the location functionality and certain aspects of the CRM."
"We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product."
"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."
"The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly."
"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."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"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."
"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."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"The product has average pricing."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
"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."
