Soumi Ganguly - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Project Manager at Epicor Software
Automation has strengthened lead hygiene and reporting and drives faster sales conversions
One area for further enhancement is advanced analytics and predictive insights. While the platform provides robust reporting, deeper AI-driven recommendations such as lead conversion predictions, risk identification, and next-best-action suggestions could help the sales team prioritize opportunities more effectively. Improving user experience is another area; as organizations scale and workflows become more complex, simplifying configuration and creating more customizable dashboards could enhance adoption across business users. Additionally, expanding native integrations and reducing reliance on custom configurations for certain enterprise systems could streamline implementation further. Regarding support, I feel it should be more proactive, with spontaneous responses. Whenever I raised queries, I experienced longer wait times and had to wait for proper responses that were sometimes passed between multiple people. I believe when I ask a question, it should be assigned to the right person at the right time to reduce time consumption on both ends. LeadSquared automates many sales and marketing processes effectively, and there is an opportunity to strengthen its AI capabilities in areas such as predictive lead scoring, conversion forecasting, and next-best-action recommendations. AI-powered conversion analysis from calls, emails, and WhatsApp interactions could help identify customer intent, sentiments, and common objections, providing valuable insights for both the team and managers. For compliance and governance, a proper API should be created and integration should be structured to prevent lead leakage and data manipulation, which needs to be addressed by LeadSquared. I have noticed that it often does not provide accurate data and relies more on human intervention. When AI is integrated into any kind of software, it is expected to deliver the right outcomes and analyses. However, I have seen many cases where it provides only sixty-five to seventy percent accuracy, which I believe can be significantly improved.

Integration capabilities facilitate efficient data management and enhance customer service, but the analytics requires improvement
The analytics capabilities in Siebel CRM have presented numerous challenges. Due to these challenges, we had to integrate Microsoft Power BI. The CRM analytics was not sufficient for our needs, given that we have four million customers and a thousand products. We are currently focusing on the upgrade and discussing with Oracle. If there have been improvements in the analytics side over the past few years, we are open to evaluating them. Currently, all analytics are being done on Power BI. The data is exported to our data lake, and Power BI is being used for all reporting and analytics. Even our customer 360, which is the core of any CRM, has Power BI widgets built-in through iframe because we could not accomplish this through Siebel CRM. The analytics component has been the main pain point for our organization, particularly due to processing time and performance with our large customer base.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of LeadSquared is the customization."
"From a business perspective, it improves efficiency, accountability, and conversion rates, making it one of the most valuable capabilities in LeadSquared."
"The ROI was multiple-fold, as I leveled up with my initial LeadSquared investment within months thanks to new nurture and lead automation campaigns driving conversions, and I previously required three team members for tasks but streamlined that to one individual, yielding significant ROI as my retention and cancellation rates improved from 12% to 27%."
"LeadSquared provides an overall platform that significantly helps reach candidates through phone calls and follow up with them, thereby raising ROI for customers."
"LeadSquared is an easy tool to adopt and get going with, as it is plug and play."
"I am not recalling all the features right now, but I can definitely say that LeadSquared is best for managing contacts and managing leads."
"The most valuable feature of LeadSquared is an easy-to-understand user interface."
"Previously, the sales lead conversion rate was about 3,000 to 4,000 monthly, but now it has increased to 5,000, 6,000, or even 7,000 monthly conversion rates, significantly boosting our sales."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"Siebel is easy to configure and comes with various pre-built industry verticals, so it doesn't require much effort. If you want to roll out Siebel in telecom or manufacturing, they have the verticals."
"If you have a proper business case and a large enterprise where you need to manage more than a million customers then it's a highly recommended solution."
"Siebel CRM has enhanced customer engagement for our organization, particularly through its robust data model and flexible features. One specific scenario where Siebel CRM excelled was in addressing complex client requirements. For instance, we successfully implemented a module for email responses, a feature that was not readily available or as robust as other CRM tools. Additionally, Siebel's open UI module allowed us to customize the user interface for one of our clients completely. This customization proved to be a major selling point for our company."
"It is a stable solution, but because it is an on-premises one, we have slow response rates at times."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"EAI and workflows are the most valuable features."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
 

Cons

"LeadSquared can be improved by increasing automation slightly."
"The notifications and workflow management can be improved in LeadSquared."
"The solution’s UI could be more user-friendly."
"Overall, LeadSquared is a solid platform, but there are things that could improve."
"The solution can get quite expensive, especially as you add more users."
"Currently, we use a third party for calling, and if LeadSquared had an inbuilt third-party integration such as Ameyo or Exotel for calling, or if LeadSquared improved the calling mechanism within the platform itself instead of relying on a third party, that would be an improvement."
"However, I have seen many cases where it provides only sixty-five to seventy percent accuracy, which I believe can be significantly improved."
"I would suggest improving LeadSquared by enhancing the website part of it."
"The problem with Siebel is that everything is customizable in it. It's probably over-engineered, which makes it difficult to use, and it makes it difficult for the users to get started with the system."
"The UI could be improved by being fully cloud native as this is what our customers are looking for. It would also be great to see what updates are coming up for release and for updates to take place automatically without manual intervention."
"It is not easy to set up. It's a bit difficult."
"Siebel CRM should improve its UI. Because it's all about the customer experience and how the customer experiences it, the internal customer is more important for CRM than the people handling the company. So, you get frustrated if you don't have a very good user interface and user experience."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"Siebel is pricey compared to other CRM tools. That's the problem. Although it's a highly stable and functionally rich application, customers are not willing to pay that price for it. Customers can find CRM software that gives them similar functionality at a lower price. There are so many others on the market like Salesforce."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"Oracle needs to improve its support. The major drawback I've observed with Siebel CRM is that Oracle hasn't taken appropriate steps to improve it since 2019. We noticed a steep downfall because Oracle was slow to roll out upgrades like Open UI. By the time these upgrades were available, the market had shifted to cloud solutions, which competitors were already providing much earlier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an annual renewable license for LeadSquared."
"The license is paid yearly, and it is about 30 euros per month per user."
"I am not sure about the cost of the solution overall, but with their SMS notifications services, there is an extra cost."
"LeadSquared is not as costly as other CRM solutions."
"The product is expensive."
"I think the tool’s pricing is exaggerated. Once you do the price sizing as per your business needs, you would find that the price of other solutions like Zoho CRM, HubSpot CRM, Salesforce CRM, etc. would be always the same."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"The price of Siebel CRM depends on the usage of the business requirement. For large enterprises the price it's very good but if you are using it for medium scale enterprises, the price is very expensive."
"This solution is expensive compared to other solutions in the market. This makes it difficult to convince our customers to use it. The customers who are already using Siebel have thought about moving to Velocity or Salesforce."
