Executive SummaryUpdated on Apr 20, 2025

Oracle CRM and Siebel CRM are leading solutions in the CRM space. Oracle CRM has the upper hand due to its cost-effectiveness and flexible pricing model.

Features: Oracle CRM offers extensive integration capabilities, real-time tools, and predictive analytics. It supports comprehensive data management, mobile integrations, and customization ease. Siebel CRM provides robust customization and stability, suitable for industries needing vertical-specific solutions and effective workflows.

Room for Improvement: Oracle CRM users want improved usability, more flexible integration with modern apps, and enhanced user interfaces. Cost reduction and feature enhancements are also desired. Siebel CRM is criticized for a less user-friendly interface, needing improvements in mobile features, and better cloud integration and technical support responsiveness.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle CRM supports various deployment models with mixed reviews on support responsiveness, though cloud support is highly rated. Siebel CRM primarily operates on-premises with complex setups and robust, but sometimes slow, customer support.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle CRM’s flexible transaction-based cloud pricing, while expensive, is justified for its scalability and database flexibility, appealing to larger businesses. Siebel CRM has higher pricing, hindering adoption among mid-sized businesses. Both solutions report positive ROI, with Oracle's cost-aligned billing model attractive for efficiency-seeking businesses.

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.

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

"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."

"Oracle CRM's best feature is its ability to customize as per specific organization's requirements."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically enrich deals by connecting to APIs. This allows me to gather additional information about companies, number of employees, and data from the previous year. Having this information helps me understand the size of the company better and tailor my proposals accordingly."

"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."

"It is a stable solution."

"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."

"The forecasting reporting section was the most useful."

"It helps our company interact with our customers, track leads and opportunities, determine how many opportunities are transferred into actual sales, and other such areas."

More Oracle CRM pros

"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."

"The solution is scalable."

"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."

"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."

"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."

"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."

"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."

"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."

More Siebel CRM pros

Cons

"This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable."

"It’s complex to customize the tool."

"Our infrastructure is set up for an on-premises deployment of this solution and I am concerned that the online deployment that we are moving to will not perform as well as our current on-premises storage systems. It could cause some problems, such as latency delays."

"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."

"Oracle CRM should have more integration with different platforms."

"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."

"The product is not intuitive."

"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."

More Oracle CRM cons

"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."

"The solution itself is very heavy."

"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."

"It is difficult to set up."

"The user interface could be more intuitive and modern. The Oracle Siebel documentation contains many links, and finding specific information takes time."

"The problem with Siebel is that everything is customizable in it. It's probably over-engineered, which makes it difficult to use, and it makes it difficult for the users to get started with the system."

"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 backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."

More Siebel CRM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."

"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."

"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 cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."

"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."

"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."

"The product’s pricing is very high."

More Oracle CRM pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."
