Abasiakama Bassey - PeerSpot reviewer
A project management tool that offers great scalability and stability
The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement. From an improvement perspective, Bitrix24 should consider providing live and upfront support to its users, especially those who use the solution's free version. If you want someone to get on your platform for which you can't provide support, then it doesn't make that platform any different from its competitors. It would make sense to people if Bitrix24 could provide support for even their free version. It would be good if Bitrix24 added some accounting elements to the tool instead of just providing functionality related to bookkeeping alone since it can help Bitrix24 become a complete tool. During the setup phase of the solution, the tool should provide its users an option to add the accounting part, making it a complete solution.

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 CRM and collaboration tools are well-designed for our purposes. Your projects can be based on tasks, CRM, or opportunities. The task-based features are the most valuable for us right now."
"The data entry functionality is excellent, and the pipeline views and filters are highly useful."
"Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"Bitrix24 is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Collaboration and CRM are the most valuable features of Bitrix24."
"The most valuable features are data entry, the pipeline view with filters, and the automation capabilities."
"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."
"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 is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"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."
"The flexibility is very good."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
 

Cons

"It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."
"The solution’s performance could be made faster."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"Compared to Microsoft, we found Bitrix24 a little complex because it's new to us, and we don't understand it much."
"The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"I would like to see improvements with Bitrix24's marketing automation."
"The client interface is not very user-friendly."
"There is a need for better integration with ERP solutions."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"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."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitrix24 is a cheap tool. I think our costs are somewhere between $1,000 and $5,000 per month. There are no additional costs with it. We did put in some hours to clean up some project-related stuff in it, but it was not much."
"The cost is $2,500, which will be spread out over 18 to 24 months."
"The product's pricing is okay for me. It is not expensive."
"The solution's pricing is quite average and not expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a seven or eight out of ten."
"Price-wise, it is a very cheap solution."
"I use the free version. I sense that my company will need a license for the solution in a few months to use some features like lead management."
"We were using the free version which was really limited in terms of functionality."
"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."
"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."
