Oracle Siebel Enterprise Marketing Suite (discontinued) vs. Sell.Do

Use it when you need one platform that can provide integration among all cloud products - Email Marketing, Marketing Analytics, Web Marketing, Events Management, Loyalty Management, Campaign/Dialogue Management and Marketing Resource Management. Don't use it when users are not very technical.

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

Siebel offers a lot of the same functionality as the major cloud based CRM's. Its flexibility for custom configuration is a definite advantage if you have the resources. Like other enterprise CRM's you need some dedicated staffing to get the most out of the system. As the industry, Oracle included, continue to push to cloud based solutions, Siebel (and some of its competitors) seem a bit under-loved, particularly in terms of user experience. If you are committed to going with a hosted solution and you have a large marketing team with the financial resources to keep yourself on up-to-date versions then Siebel should be considered
