Oracle Siebel CRM vs. Pipeliner CRM

Throughout the time that we have used it, Oracle has provided a full on pipeline of solutions and account planning which increases the services of marketing, accounting and finance. We notice that with sales it was simply a breakthrough, allowing us to make better decisions with real-time view and proactive communication to get the job done. No dislikes for this software at all

Pipeliner CRM is amazingly flexible to your business model. For example, in addition to tracking movement of leads through your sales pipeline, Pipeliner CRM can be used to track internal processes, like RFQ and RFPs through your organization. It's highly adaptable across your organization.

• 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.

• Clear and easy visualisation of Sales Process
• Great capability in reporting both in-app with 'filter' and reporting module built-in is easy to use
• Reporting into pivot table is also easy and very useful
• Mobile app has always been very good and easy to use since 2015

• 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.

• Pipeliner CRM needs to create a video chat room where you can see exactly where your employee is working in the field.
• Pipeliner CRM needs to integrate a command where a user can use his voice to command what he wants.

Currently the company is using the Pipeliner CRM because we believe it is a tool that puts the customer as the main focus of business processes in order to understand and anticipate their needs, and then serve them in the best way.

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.

I gave that rating level because it reflects both my satisfaction and expectations about PipelinerCRM.Plus, the adoption rate of this software. I mean the usability rate is very low. It just takes, for learning, a couple of hours less than three days roughly. Return on time investment is low also.

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.

The support from Pipeliner CRM is superb; they have instant customer support and they are on time. They also give enough knowledge of sales and other material for the knowledge. They also have AI in the support by talking with customer support directly from the web or app and so on.

Siebel is quite a bit slower in performance and lacks support for modern browsers, in contrast to Salesforce.com. It's also much less searchable and discoverable (with regard to insights) and lacks a fresh look. I'm not privy to all the reasons why our organization moved away from Siebel CRM, but I'm glad we did.

I will always select Pipeliner CRM because it is very flexible, easy to work with, data capturing is at its best, its integration to other major software’s and it aids in the monitoring of the core work process. One distinctive feature is it is very easy to learn without extensive training.

• Very positive impact: replacing multiple silo applications based on outdated technology
• Provide data integrity by eliminating redundancy and the use of audit trails
• Improves safety of users on the field: use of tracking tool and providing list of hazards
• Thanks to the multi-org feature of the Siebel CRM, after a first successful implementation we were able to package the solution and offer it to multiple other customers, with minimum changes.

• As a VisualCRM tool, our clients sales teams seem to accelerate their deal closes.
• The visual tools allow those "no good deals" to be spotted and resource usage limited.
• A great tool to manage those "pipelines" within the company. A pipe is really a series of actions that constitute a planned result.
