Featured Reviews

Hitesh Kunchakuri - PeerSpot reviewer
A reasonably stable and scalable tool to manage human resources, payroll, and expenses of a business
There are multiple options in the product that are improving quarterly by considering the user feedback Oracle receives from its multiple clients. I am not exactly sure about the improvements made in the product since I have not been working with the solution for the past four to six months. The area where employees' personal and contact information is called the person management section in the HR module of Oracle Fusion Service, has shortcomings where improvements are required. Sometimes, there are some issues with the areas around national identifiers in the product, so our company has to add multiple national identifiers. Though a person from the USA works in some other country, and that person has every valid document of the residing country, the product sometimes gives some trouble to access the information. The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly. It would be great if there was an option to do internal calculations in the product since sometimes, in our company, we have to calculate all the fields manually in Excel and then upload them in the application.
Shiraz Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Comes with complaint management feature but improvement is needed in UI
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
"Oracle's strength lies in swiftly building and deploying enterprise applications globally."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"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 a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"The flexibility is very good."
"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."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"The solution is scalable."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
 

Cons

"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."
"Oracle counts users for licensing purposes, regardless of their roles or usage patterns. This process could be better."
"The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) need significant improvement, especially in the older on-premises versions."
"The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly."
"The vendor must provide a user-friendly mobile application."
"We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product."
"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"The UI experience needs refinement to enhance user-friendliness."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"It is difficult to set up."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"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 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."
"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

"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"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's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"The product has average pricing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
