MARMIND vs. Oracle Siebel Enterprise Marketing Suite (discontinued)

MARMIND helps for the simple and complete structuring of complex marketing efforts. MARMIND is great support for marketing automation with room atop. We did communicate better within our marketing team. It was a big performance enhancement throughout marketing. MARMIND is easy and comfortable to learn and use with no delay starting. The adaption to our needs and wishes was really great and left a tight binding to it. We are convinced that the support by MARMIND was a great help and sustain to our intents. We realized that we did the very right decision to change to this marketing platform. We gained more overview and control in the right mixture between grossness and detail. We change after the first success with all our marketing to it. This change was really a no-timer and we were very satisfied with this change and the change in the underlying strategies. The app shortened our processes and made us enhance every step of them. The overall result was a closer communication at the more motivating steps of the marketing processes and a great plus in employee satisfaction. We had several impressive feedback loops and are convinced we will still make several in the future. The notifications, annotations, commentaries, assets, and drafts gave us an important new perspective on which we will develop our company further. Setting targets and arranging better-pre informed meetings and events in the marketing team and with external companies and customers enhanced our experiences.

If you need a hosted rather than cloud based CRM, Siebel is a consideration. It's best suited to organizations with a large customer database. Given the complexity involved you need at least two full time marketing analysts.The email marketing functionality isn't core to the offering and most organizations would be much better served by cloud based email systems. Siebel offers a very comprehensive feature set and is powerful in the hands of a super user. However, given the costs involved in upgrading a hosted solution I would put serious effort into convincing your decision makers to go for a cloud based CRM instead.

• Oracle Siebel Marketing Suite's processing time is not as fast as I would expect it to be. This is the major improvement I would like to see in it.
• It requires a very high level of training being given to the employees for configuring and implementing it in the business needs.
• Expert employees are needed in order to understand the functionality of Oracle Siebel Enterprise Marketing Suite, which is not easy to find.

A very conservative data security policy limits the organization to a hosted solution. At particular issue is the tendency of cloud based CRMs to have data centres based in the US, a major issue for Canadian consumers. Once you have integrated a system of this size and complexity, and have the staff resources to utilize it effectively, it's hard to justify a move to an alternative. Consider Siebel if you are a conservatively run organization with a large database of customers and a big marketing team

MARMIND had a better efforts-to-outcome factor. We consider it for our needs as much more suitable. This is a matter of scale and resources. We loved MARMIND from the very first impressions. It stimulates our company marketing efforts very much. The overview is very satisfactory. The software suited very well the educational level of our employees and made them quick very successful users. The role concepts matched very much our own. We are convinced that will still are in progress in getting better at MARMIND in all modules and with all processes. We consider ourselves at a very good level in using the software integrated tool landscape of MARMIND. It is stimulating and very satisfactory to plan, create, and evaluate marketing efforts of all kinds. We stopped leaving out marketing or procrastinating it. The overview is overwhelming. Everyone has great feedback and can watch the progress in the company. This is former missing feedback. So MARMIND transformed our company a lot not only our marketing. Because of the high standards in the modules that are implemented the difference may not be so big. The process standards are compliant and it is more or less a matter of personal preferences between the different brands.
