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 offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"It supports various APIs and connectors, enabling seamless communication with other systems, including both Oracle products and third-party applications."
"Oracle Fusion Service offers good efficiency."
"It has provided a faster turnaround time. We were able to automate a number of transactional tasks and return that extra time to taking care of customers."
"Oracle Fusion's scalability and flexibility are its most valuable features."
"The solution is completely cloud-based and very easy to access from anywhere."
"There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"There is a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"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."
"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 flexibility is very good."
 

Cons

"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"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."
"The dependency on the dollar makes these products more costly during disruptions in currency parity, especially in countries like Pakistan."
"I would like to see more AI usage, enhanced personalization capabilities, and simpler integration capabilities."
"When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher."
"The user experience has to be much better."
"Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"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."
"It is difficult to set up."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"The product has average pricing."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"The product is 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."
"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."
