Integration capabilities facilitate efficient data management and enhance customer service, but the analytics requires improvement
The analytics capabilities in Siebel CRM have presented numerous challenges. Due to these challenges, we had to integrate Microsoft Power BI. The CRM analytics was not sufficient for our needs, given that we have four million customers and a thousand products. We are currently focusing on the upgrade and discussing with Oracle. If there have been improvements in the analytics side over the past few years, we are open to evaluating them. Currently, all analytics are being done on Power BI. The data is exported to our data lake, and Power BI is being used for all reporting and analytics. Even our customer 360, which is the core of any CRM, has Power BI widgets built-in through iframe because we could not accomplish this through Siebel CRM. The analytics component has been the main pain point for our organization, particularly due to processing time and performance with our large customer base.

AI call insights have improved quality scores and optimize multilingual coaching in our center
In my experience with Verint Citizen Engagement, the best features include AI, call summary, and a very friendly UI. The UI stands out for me and my team because it is intuitive. You want something, and here is the button for it, with no need to dig deep for anything. It shows what is really important, making it very user-friendly compared to the current application I am using. Verint Citizen Engagement has positively impacted my organization by improving our quality score. I get to listen to calls, receive summaries, and understand call sentiments, which guides me on which calls are worth my time. This feedback was crucial for my agents and it helped drive the overall quality to exceed expectations. I have seen specific outcomes with metrics indicating improvement. CSAT improved, quality score improved, and overall customer engagement improved, which is very important since I work in sales.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"It is quite robust and flexible; you can develop almost anything you want, and when you go into the tools, you can do anything you want."
"We moved from an excel sheet to Siebel so it did help us initially in digitizing CRM related business processes and was positioned as single source of truth for CRM."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"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."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"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."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"Verint Citizen Engagement has positively impacted my organization by improving our quality score; CSAT improved, quality score improved, and overall customer engagement improved, which is very important since I work in sales."
"Verint Citizen Engagement has definitely helped us become more organized."
 

Cons

"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"Very complex (User setup, Account imports, EIM on Opportunity, Marketing). In summary, we had to struggle a lot to get the software running with all relevant data."
"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."
"Server may response very slowly if effective load balancing is not done."
"Sometimes it messes up with translation or shows stress, not accounting for cultural differences, particularly needing more training with Urdu speakers."
"I think Verint Citizen Engagement is very useful for organization and for using and navigating the dashboard, however, the interface could be updated to require less clicking when jumping between scorecards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
