Likelihood to Recommend As an end user, I would not recommend this solution for enterprise deployment. Lack of support for modern browsers, slow performance, and poor searchability - these things set Siebel CRM in the rear of the pack. There was no great mobile solution either, so that can be bothersome especially for road warriors like myself.
Read full review Salesmate gives us everything we need as a small business, with a clear interface, and can adapt to any business. If I was being ultra picky, I would perhaps suggest the ability to remove or hide certain modules not applicable to our niche, e.g., we are a B2C business, so the company module is not really useable for us, but this is not a negative by any means.
Read full review Pros Great data model: the out of the box version comes with standard objects that support most of the industries business models Ease of implementation: implementation is done by configuring standard objects or creating new objects; additional level of customization via script is also possible. Lots of resources available on the product Supported by Oracle one of the world leader in IT Read full review For each client, it tracks emails, text messages, activities, files, calendar events, phone calls, to-do items. Customization is quite good -- you add fields you need. Like was discovery received, full payment, partial payment, etc. You can later run reports. Integration with other apps is good; I use QuickBooks and DocuSign. Customer service is very good. Read full review Cons Migrations between environments is one area that could be improved, with tools to compare and move data elements (source vs target). Easier ways to identify, through email or a web page, the health of the overall system (components, marketing campaigns, tasks, servers, etc). The UI seems to be improved with the newer versions of Siebel, but I believe it requires a lot of new features. It seems that other CRM solutions that are cloud-based are putting a lot of emphasis on the Usability and presentation, things where Siebel may need to catch up... Read full review The search feature can be buggy and does not allow for highlighted text to be typed on. You must clear the box or hit backspace before typing. The only app in my life that does this. The dashboard button is pointless if it still makes you choose between legacy or classic. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Very happy with the customer service and the overall functionality of the program. With new features always being launched and discussed I'm looking fwd to growing with them
Read full review Usability Oracle Siebel CRM is an older Sales CRM, so many of it's features aren't as current as ones used today. However, it has a smoother and easy-to-use UI. We're glad that we can still access Oracle Siebel CRM because it's easier to find older information that we can't easily find in our Salesforce Lightning CRM tool.
Read full review It's so easy, and the support is top notch and I love Salesmate. Seriously the best CRM on the market right now, which I was able to customize exactly the way I needed to, with their support with me every step of the way. I will be working with SalesMate for a long time if not forever.
Read full review Support Rating We no longer have support for our Oracle Siebel CRM. When we did, the support was slow to get some things fixed, therefore, there was a lot of downtime. Of course, this slowed down our overall productivity and increased our overall frustration with the tool. However, it would be nice if we still had some support with it since we still do access it from time to time.
Read full review The support team at Salesmate is top-notch. They provide live chat support within the platform and answer typically in under a minute. They are always incredibly quick to respond to questions and provide insightful information. Getting started on the platform is easy as you always have support nearby.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We also connect to Oracle Business Intelligence, which is not even an option of the list of products above (that's always encouraging when products are missing from lists!) This connects to campaigns in Siebel along with users writing reports based on data from Siebel. I don't think OBIEE stacks up that great with other systems because it seems to be lacking in reports, and those who can make them have to be quite technical.
Oracle Database I think stacks up because of how robust and speedy (at times) it can be
Read full review Very similar in overall layout and user experience...but the features blow these others out of the water. Where alternative solutions had features either lacking or as an upgrade (ie having to spend an extra $10-$30/month/user) Salesmate has these features out-of-the-box
Read full review Return on Investment This has all my company needs for sales analytic. It has helped our call center and the sales portal become more lean and require less resources for their day-to-day. We use its research and direct email capabilities and use it to target specific groups of potential clients. We have seen an improvement of nearly 20%. We have clients who have used a few modules like bill summary, campaign management and customer information. Oracle Siebel CRM has helped them reap ROI within a year from going live. Read full review It saved me so much time following up with leads. I move them to the next stage, and Salesmate does the rest. It does a whole load of outreach for me. It's seamless. I get a lot more responses from people in my pipeline - especially using SMS to follow up. Read full review ScreenShots
