Case management feature is valuable but the pricing is expensive

I would like to suggest the solution but it really depends on your specific requirements, your business use cases and future plans. There is a significant investment involved in this solution and therefore it is very crucial to reevaluate your future necessity including automation potential and modernization plans. I would suggest that you select any kind of solution and explore alternatives of similar functionalities at a lower cost. This might help you to achieve more with less. In my experience, I would rate it between seven to eight because it offers robust capabilities. But please be aware that other BPM tools are emerging with similar features at a lower cost. Pega CRM is perceived as bulk care compared to order tools, as many of its capabilities are potentially underutilized. I would rate it 7 out of 10.

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

"One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach."

"The case management feature is really valuable."

"We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors."

"Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."

"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."

"The product's deployment phase was easy."

"It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."

More Pega CRM pros

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

"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."

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

"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."

"The solution is scalable."

"The flexibility is very good."

"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."

More Siebel CRM pros

Cons

"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."

"For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases."

"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."

"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."

"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."

"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."

"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"

More Pega CRM cons

"Siebel is not user-friendly."

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

"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 solution itself is very heavy."

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

"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

"The pricing is on the higher side."

"It is expensive."

"We have numerous uses of the solution in our organisation. Almost 72 applications are integrated with Pega CRM, and some of them are shutting down for various reasons including the high licensing costs. There is a strong focus in the market and offices on cost reduction."

"The product is expensive."

"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."

"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."
