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.

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

"It offers a seamless experience with quick deployment—eliminating prolonged implementation and installation processes."
"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."
"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
"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."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"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."
"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 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."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"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 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."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
 

Cons

"The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly."
"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"The user experience has to be much better."
"The UI experience needs refinement to enhance user-friendliness."
"Oracle changed the means by which users are created in the system. I would like this to be easier to implement."
"The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) need significant improvement, especially in the older on-premises versions."
"Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"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."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"It is difficult to set up."
 

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 Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"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."
"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."
