Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 12, 2025

Oracle Fusion Service and Siebel CRM compete in the CRM solutions category. Oracle Fusion Service seems to have the upper hand due to its modern cloud-based deployment and scalability, while Siebel CRM is favored for its extensive customization capabilities.

Features: Oracle Fusion Service is a cloud-based omni-channel suite with features like chat, co-browse, and incident management, and it offers exceptional integration capabilities. Siebel CRM provides robust customization options, handles complex workflows, and is suitable for intricate organizational structures.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Fusion Service needs improvements in B2B customization, support documentation, and its mobile application. Siebel CRM can be over-engineered, complicating user experience and customization, and its cost and legacy aspects are less appealing.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Fusion Service offers flexibility and scalability, primarily as a cloud-based solution, but faces criticism for delayed support responses. Siebel CRM has a complex on-premises setup, and its transition to cloud solutions is slow.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle Fusion Service has a flexible pricing model based on usage but can result in high costs, offering good ROI through efficiency gains. Siebel CRM is expensive, posing a barrier for smaller enterprises, despite its functionality, and struggles to justify its high cost against newer CRMs.

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

"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."

"The solution is easy to learn."

"Oracle Fusion's scalability and flexibility are its most valuable features."

"Everything is managed by Oracle, so they have security in place."

"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 most valuable feature of the solution is that customers can easily understand it."

"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."

"There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."

More Oracle Fusion Service pros

"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."

"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 flexibility is very good."

"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."

"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."

"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."

"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 solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."

Cons

"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."

"I would like to see more AI usage, enhanced personalization capabilities, and simpler integration capabilities."

"The user experience has to be much better."

"The solution’s reporting could be improved."

"The product's initial setup phase was very difficult."

"Oracle changed the means by which users are created in the system. I would like this to be easier to implement."

"Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise."

"Some features that require improvement include the location functionality and certain aspects of the CRM."

More Oracle Fusion Service cons

"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."

"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."

"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."

"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 backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."

"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."

"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."

"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."

More Siebel CRM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has average pricing."

"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."

"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."

"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."

"The tool is reasonably priced."

"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."

"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."

"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."

"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."

"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."

"The product is 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."
