Typical configuration, no customization needed and quick to deploy
For CRM, my company mostly uses it for automated placement, with requests to the customer endpoint. Customers will place their product orders through the CRM portal.  I work on the technical side, managing servers and applications. I handle integrations The user interface could be better. It's…

Comes with complaint management feature but improvement is needed in UI
We use the solution in sales and phone banking. We use its marketing module. It also helps us with analytics because we have the Customer 360 built into it The tool's complaint management feature is very good. We used a CRM before, which lacked the integrations, so complaints had to be handled…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."
"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"The product is straightforward to set up. There's no difficulty."
"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."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"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 flexibility is very good."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified."
"I would like to remove all manual work and get the benefits of the function that Oracle provides without any manual interference or paperwork."
"The configuration requires a lot of technical intervention."
"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."
"Customization is an area in the solution that takes too much time. So, it needs to be improved."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"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."
"It is difficult to set up."
"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."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"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."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"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."
"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."
"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."
