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.

Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.

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

"It is a stable solution."
"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."
"The forecasting reporting section was the most useful."
"Oracle Connect as a feature within CRM is valuable for establishing and maintaining customer relationships, enabling users to see customer details and interact graphically with relationships."
"Oracle CRM accommodates client needs, potentially reducing licensing costs with a pay-as-you-go approach. It also allows for the standardization of processes and reporting, which is important for our organization. Additionally, integration through APIs improves connectivity."
"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"Oracle Cloud Services integrates well. It has lots of APIs to integrate with other solutions, like the PBX we use from Cisco. The ability to integrate Siebel data with Cisco PBX was nice."
"Previously, my clients used a smaller ERP system, not a major one. However, they have now transitioned to Oracle, which provides them with a more extensive range of options. Unlike before, it's now an integrated system that covers various aspects, including finance, supply chain management, and other functionalities."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally."
"Stable and scalable with good technical support."
"Everything is managed by Oracle, so they have security in place."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"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."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"Getting technical support from Oracle involved going through commercial layers, which could sometimes cause delays. The attention received depended on the client's status and spending with Oracle. Clients with significant spending received global attention and a corporate account manager, while those with lower spending had to work with a local account manager, which wasn't always beneficial. This process could lead to delays in getting technical issues resolved. I am not satisfied with its support."
"Oracle CRM should improve in terms of AI capabilities and user interface design."
"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."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"It’s complex to customize the tool."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"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."
"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
"Some features that require improvement include the location functionality and certain aspects of the CRM."
"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."
"Oracle Fusion Service needs to improve its documentation part because we do not have proper documentation."
"One suggestion I have is to shorten the IT team's response time. When we submit an ASR or similar request, it takes a while to receive a response, and this can be seen as a drawback."
"The dependency on the dollar makes these products more costly during disruptions in currency parity, especially in countries like Pakistan."
"When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve."
"The product's initial setup phase was very difficult."
"Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"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."
"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 documentation needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 cost of a license with support is slightly higher than a regular license."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"The product has average pricing."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"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 product is expensive."
"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 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."
