Customization and automation drive effective user training and insights sharing
Recently, the price of SAP CRM has increased, which is one concern. Another issue is that sometimes we experience slow performance. Reports in SAP CRM itself can become very slow. Other than that, it is a very good CRM system. I am happy with SAP CRM because whenever we have requirements for changes or customization as per our needs, we get them, and the downtime is minimal. We are getting very good support from the incident team and the in-house support team who are responsible for customization. Some customer centers have moved to Salesforce, but I don't have any experience with Salesforce to make a comparison.

Integration capabilities facilitate efficient data management and enhance customer service, but the analytics requires improvement
The analytics capabilities in Siebel CRM have presented numerous challenges. Due to these challenges, we had to integrate Microsoft Power BI. The CRM analytics was not sufficient for our needs, given that we have four million customers and a thousand products. We are currently focusing on the upgrade and discussing with Oracle. If there have been improvements in the analytics side over the past few years, we are open to evaluating them. Currently, all analytics are being done on Power BI. The data is exported to our data lake, and Power BI is being used for all reporting and analytics. Even our customer 360, which is the core of any CRM, has Power BI widgets built-in through iframe because we could not accomplish this through Siebel CRM. The analytics component has been the main pain point for our organization, particularly due to processing time and performance with our large customer base.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We like that this solution has made our whole accounting function paperless."
"SAP CRM is very fast, providing accurate information and good results."
"SAP CRM's most valuable at a branch level."
"What I found most valuable in SAP CRM is its multitenancy, and you can use it from your website, SMS, and even social media, and it's all integrated, so my company is trying to leverage on all of those."
"The user interface is excellent."
"The stability is good."
"SAP CRM integrates well with SAP ERP which is useful."
"The tool is easy to use."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"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."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"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."
"The flexibility is very good."
 

Cons

"The product's pricing could be better."
"CRM is costlier than its competitors."
"There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems."
"The solution needs more flexible customization, tender request, and they need to think about some of the localization aspects."
"The product is very expensive."
"They have recently updated their user interface but they should continue to improve upon it in the future. Additionally, overall performance or speed of response times could be better."
"I think what needs to be improved is the solution for Brazil's organization."
"Our users are using it primarily from their laptop browser and very few are using it on their mobile because the mobile is not that user-friendly."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"The problem with Siebel is that everything is customizable in it. It's probably over-engineered, which makes it difficult to use, and it makes it difficult for the users to get started with the system."
"The UI could be improved by being fully cloud native as this is what our customers are looking for. It would also be great to see what updates are coming up for release and for updates to take place automatically without manual intervention."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"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 user interface could be more intuitive and modern. The Oracle Siebel documentation contains many links, and finding specific information takes time."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"SAP CRM is not suitable for smaller businesses because it is expensive. The larger businesses would be able to handle the cost."
"SAP CRM is an expensive product."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"SAP CRM offers a free trial for anyone wanting to test the product before purchasing it."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."
"We pay for the license yearly."
"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."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
