AkinolaOni - PeerSpot reviewer
A CRM with strong reporting features that we use across several departments at my organization
We used to face downtime, in which some of our other platforms had issues synchronizing with Sage. I don't know whether it's an API or design issue somewhere, but there are these interfacing issues where systems sometimes don't talk to each other. Other than that, I would like Sage to improve their UI.
KalpanaSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The part I like the most is the reporting."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The Sage Accpac solution has definitely been the most valuable because the finance features are excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the case management system, which allows for the customization of workflows and saving solutions."
"The most useful aspect of Sage CRM is the capability to keep track of each staff member's communication and bill processing activities. The ability to track both customers and employees is a useful tool."
"Sage CRM is flexible, customizable, and user-friendly."
"The solution's technical support is fast to respond."
"It has been helpful for opportunity management and lease management."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"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."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
 

Cons

"I would like Sage to improve their UI."
"Its user interface could be better."
"Sage CRM would benefit from improving its interaction with email communication sites and social media platforms in order to gather more leads."
"The product could be improved by modernizing the charts and analytics. Additionally, the export features and interactivity of the charts need enhancement."
"From an improvement perspective, the ability to make modifications to the product needs to be more user-friendly."
"With regards to monitoring the transaction with alerts, it could be better."
"The scalability of this solution depends on whether you have a team that can configure it for scale."
"Sage CRM doesn't have a dashboard for dynamic reporting."
"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."
"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 user interface, mobile application, and support could 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."
"It is difficult to set up."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Though my company has to have a perpetual license per user, there is a need to make annual payments towards the costs attached to the support my organization receives from Sage CRM's technical team."
"The product is expensive."
"From an African perspective, the solution is relatively expensive."
"We pay for eight core modules and 20 user licenses and this costs us $1500 per year."
"We have a yearly license."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
"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."
