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

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

"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."

"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."

"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."

"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."

"The product is straightforward to set up. There's no difficulty."

"The most important feature is the ability to assign a plan using the manual close function."

"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."

More Oracle CRM pros

"The best thing about the tool is its data model. The underlying data model refers to how the data is stored in databases. We can also experience the ease of developing anything with the tool. We can customize any functionality as per any business challenge."

"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 solution is scalable."

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

"The flexibility is very good."

More Siebel CRM pros

Cons

"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."

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

"The user interface and performance could be better."

"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."

"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."

"Oracle CRM should improve in terms of AI capabilities and user interface design."

"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."

"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."

More Oracle CRM cons

"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."

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

"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."

"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."

"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."

"The solution itself is very heavy."

"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."

"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."

More Siebel CRM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."

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

"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."

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

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

More Oracle CRM pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive."

"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."

"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."

"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."
