Siebel is like a backbone to our organization, having the endless capacity for integration. When it comes to managing customer data or catering to any service requestor, Oracle Siebel never disappoints us; it has a pretty impressive interface and security.
  • Siebel is really helpful when it comes to managing customer data it's like you can have billions of customers' details in one place and get it with just a single click.
  • Having too many options to serve customers when it comes to Complaint handling and escalations from them.
  • The security feature is amazing. There is no need to worry about leakage of confidential data.
  • Sometime it start performing slow while fetching data.
  • Interface is little hard for beginners.
Siebel is like a backbone to our organization, we have millions of customers, and with Siebel, it is very easy to get individual customer data in seconds; it is helping us maintain our customer base, catering to their service requests and complaints is now very easy for us as an organization.

Oracle Siebel CRM is used to replace multiple legacy applications used by the ministry. When implemented it will become the main tool for the day to day activities of the ministry. Its is based on Siebel Public Sector application.

The application has several modules:
Regulatory Profile, Inspection, Compliance, Investigation, Incident etc.
Regulatory Profile includes Entities, Individuals, Systems, Properties, Components.
  • 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
  • UI is clear and practical, but lacks some of the fancy features found on today's websites
  • Upgrades can be a challenge if the application has been heavily customized
  • Some functionalities may not be available if using Siebel Remote
Oracle Siebel CRM is particularly suited for companies that want to implement a robust CRM in a short timeframe: using out of the box functionality provides the company with the industry best practices and a short development cycle. However it can be adapted to any level of customization to meet specific needs. Given the large capabilities of the product and the riches of its data model, it is more likely to fit medium to large organizations.

It is being implemented ministry-wide to remove old legacy applications and transition into a more modern system.
  • Siebel data model.
  • Packaged best practices of business processes.
  • Flexible enough to customize to specific needs/business processes of clients.
  • Siebel Open UI lacks detailed documentation and examples. The steep learning curve for traditional Siebel developers and difficult even for javascript developers.
  • Slowness or lack of catching up with the latest trends and technologies.
In the public sector where I work, the case management sections are a great fit.

The government has used Siebel CRM (Public Sector) to track activities/applications, run marketing campaigns, and implement business processes according to business policies.
  • Siebel clearly separates the data layer, from the business layer, application, and web.
  • The navigation and relationship between entities is clear and easy to configure, but it can be improved.
  • Siebel CRM as a product is robust, reliable, and easy to configure. The architecture is solid and scalable.
  • Components can be added on demand.
  • 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...
Siebel is well suited as an enterprise solution, as it provides the main elements corporations require to support and maintain their data. Siebel CRM is less appropriate to the general public or partners since, in my opinion, the UI needs better presentation.

Siebel is used by many departments, it used by our Marketing Department, our Donation department, and for major donor management to use the customer relationship part (accounts, activities, opportunities).
It is used to process donations, store records of checks, match accounts with data quality (3rd party system integrated with Siebel), send notifications to employees and donors, and much more. It handles a lot of business problems regarding those areas.
  • It is stable, and the system Siebel replaced was not very stable.
  • It keeps getting changes with upgrades, so there is an improvement in user experience (mobile responsive, etc.)
  • It provides a base of understanding that a homegrown system wouldn't have, how Siebel contractors can come onboard knowing generally what it does, except for our customizations
  • Lack of documentation for developers -- it feels like almost nothing in the grand scheme of things, especially around OpenUI. Sure there are some things on bookshelf, but that's all it is, some. It's not in depth--there are hardly any examples and I generally get answers outside of bookshelf.
  • Support isn't so good, I'd sooner try to solve the problem with many workarounds than put a support ticket in that might go into the abyss and never get resolved.
  • The user interface is lacking for our version. Granted, we are at least four years behind and have no mobile responsiveness (we had to build that ourselves) but I've seen the newer version and there need to be more intuitive user interface patterns in general
  • Sometimes there are weird quirks in customizations that should work in theory, but don't.
I'd recommend it if it was some company that was large and needed a large system to handle many aspects of their system. Also, if that company could afford the upkeep/developers/etc. A less appropriate scenario is if the company was small, as finding developers for it would be difficult and not cheap.

Oracle Siebel? Why not?!

Oracle Siebel is used similarly to Salesforce as it is a CRM that is your customer database. We were and are able to communicate with our customers by sending and responding to emails, handling service issues, and accessing basic account information. Basically, it's a one-stop shop for our customer needs. It's a very dependable program.
  • Seamless customer communication
  • Easy access to account history and pertinent information
  • Training materials provided and is easily implemented
  • Sales analytics and data
  • Overall sales
  • I would have to say that there have been times when a customer's information has vanished, it can be chalked up to a technical error but, when in business, it can be detrimental for future or potential customers, or business partners.
  • My biggest issue as with some other CRMS is what I call the "slug crawl." It is certainly an issue anytime a program isn't running properly. A sluggish program is no exception. The last thing you want to deal with is a program that refuses to load and or runs slowly, then everything becomes the dreaded waiting game, where more often than not, no-one wins, especially not the business.
It's suited for most companies I would say Retail, entertainment, and call centers small or large will find that this program is A1.

Oracle Siebel CRM Review

Score 8 out of 10

The best part about Siebel is that it brings all of our data together into one piece of software. Nearly all of the work done by all departments in our company is done within this software. Our whole business is integrated and the software is highly customized to our needs. We are working on getting other departments on-boarded to use Siebel.
  • Using Siebel as a CRM is nice in that it allows for a wide variety of information to be stored in one place. The search features also work well.
  • The functionality of the software was excellent in terms of a customer CRM tool. Information was well organized and the software served it's purpose for the sales and planning teams.
  • It is automatically connected to your customer's telephone and helps us in analyzing their profile when we talk to them
  • It has server issues and also slowness. It even slows down your entire system. Maybe we need to explore other options to better scale the software.
  • It would be nice if Oracle provided more material that was accessible for training.
  • There is a lag in some of the larger reports. It can take over 30 minutes to run, or they don't run correctly at all. Again, this might go back to the issue of scale.
Once it is set up and appropriately customized, which was expensive and time consuming, and once users have been appropriately trained, also expensive, it took care of our CRM needs, requiring very little day-to-day management. I does everything from HR, to billing, and even a great auditing tool. However, it does not always integrate well with a lot of other products that we utilize, such as Salesforce, which would be great for us.

Oracle Siebel CRM is used by our sales and marketing organizations for our legal and professional divisions as a repository for marketing campaigns, tactics, opportunities that translate to our Sales organization to potentially drive leads.
  • End user ease of use is an asset of Siebel CRM. I train end users how to navigate and enter information into the system and it's not difficult for even the technology challenged people.
  • The ability to web introduce our in house MRM system within the Siebel CRM view makes it a one stop shop for data entry for our marketing professionals. Not having to navigate to multiple tools is a huge asset.
  • Analytic capabilities has made Siebel CRM an important tool for our management team to be able to quickly and easily see the stats of their team's work.
  • Customization thresholds hinder some opportunities for us to make the tool even more efficient for us.
  • Analytic capabilities, while very useful, are not as powerful as another tool we have used to incorporate strong reports.
  • The look and feel of the tool appears outdated to me.
Entering marketing campaigns, treatments (tactics) opportunities and offers within the tool has proven to be a much better scenario than individual contributors housing all of their information separately into Excel sheets and other means. Oracle Siebel CRM is one repository where sales and marketing are able to collaborate and utilize one system together as a team.

Oracle Siebel CRM provides the most important modules in a CRM application model such as organizations, accounts, contacts, service requests, activities/tasks, call reports, reporting, list management, etc. It is being used in my organization for creating complete end to end CRM applications. The focus is more on reporting modules for enhancing business opportunities. The creation and configuration of complex data segments is handled efficiently by the Siebel Enterprise Suite.
  • The Accounts module provides maintenance for all information related to accounts applicable to different firms which are linked to organization. Outstanding features are provided for creating or terminating any account.
  • Reporting features are pretty convenient to use in order to create and manage track reports for any customer of the company/organization. Further, these could be used for marketing strategies and analysis of the business needs. This module helps an organization to maintain a consistent reporting process which provides a feature that is very convenient and easily accessible.
  • It has nice shortcut keys for easy and fast access.
  • Oracle Siebel requires a very high level of training and understanding in order to extract the full potential from its system in terms of configuration and implementation.
  • The processing time is not very fast and there is scope of improvement in it.
  • A huge amount is needed to build up the infrastructure which is directly proportional to the size of the organization implementing it.
I would strongly recommend Oracle Siebel CRm for those organizations that deal with a large database of customers. The Oracle Siebel CRM solution provides great features for software as a service (SaaS) in the online business software market. Expert or specialist persons are needed in order to understand the functionality of Oracle Siebel CRM, which is hard to find.
