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

"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."
"There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"Everything is managed by Oracle, so they have security in place."
"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 solution is scalable."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"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."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
 

Cons

"The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) need significant improvement, especially in the older on-premises versions."
"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."
"I would like to see more AI usage, enhanced personalization capabilities, and simpler integration capabilities."
"Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise."
"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher."
"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 Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
"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."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"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."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"The product has average pricing."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"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."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"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."
"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."
