Useful employee and client monitoring, reliable, and good online support database
I would encourage people to use this solution. Sage CRM is effective because it allows for all communication, transactions, cases, opportunities, and leads to be accessed by team members. This means that even if an individual is absent, the team can still respond to clients, customers, or suppliers in a timely manner. As a result, there is a high level of efficiency in decision-making and time management with the use of CRM. It is highly flexible. I rate Sage CRM an eight out of ten.
KalpanaSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The part I like the most is the reporting."
"The solution's technical support is fast to respond."
"The most valuable feature is the case management system, which allows for the customization of workflows and saving solutions."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"Sage CRM is flexible, customizable, and user-friendly."
"The Sage Accpac solution has definitely been the most valuable because the finance features are excellent."
"It has been helpful for opportunity management and lease management."
"The most useful aspect of Sage CRM is the capability to keep track of each staff member's communication and bill processing activities. The ability to track both customers and employees is a useful tool."
"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."
"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."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"I would like Sage to improve their UI."
"With regards to monitoring the transaction with alerts, it could be better."
"Its user interface could be better."
"Sage CRM doesn't have a dashboard for dynamic reporting."
"The product could be improved by modernizing the charts and analytics. Additionally, the export features and interactivity of the charts need enhancement."
"The scalability of this solution depends on whether you have a team that can configure it for scale."
"Sage CRM would benefit from improving its interaction with email communication sites and social media platforms in order to gather more leads."
"From an improvement perspective, the ability to make modifications to the product needs to be more user-friendly."
"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 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 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."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"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

"Though my company has to have a perpetual license per user, there is a need to make annual payments towards the costs attached to the support my organization receives from Sage CRM's technical team."
"We pay for eight core modules and 20 user licenses and this costs us $1500 per year."
"From an African perspective, the solution is relatively expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"We have a yearly license."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
