Pros
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have.""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.""Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world.""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 flexibility is very good.""The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic.""Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management.""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."

Cons
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy.""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.""It is difficult to set up.""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.""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 user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."

More Siebel CRM Cons →

"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release.""You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment.""While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use.""In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities.""Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution.""It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
