Nachteile: Higher Upfront Cost On-premise systems are classified as CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) i.e. require large upfront purchase. On top of it perpetual maintenance costs to ensure support and functionality upgrades.
Longer implementation times On-premise implementations take longer due to the time needed for complete installations on servers and each individual computer/laptop.
Ongoing maintenance With an on premise system, you are responsible for maintaining server hardware and software, data backups, storage and disaster recovery. This can be an issue for smaller companies who have limited budgets and technical resources.

"Once you know how to use, it's hard to switch"

Vorteile: Siebel has a strong learning curve. I've used this system for four years and I still don't know how to do everything it can do. With that being said, I enjoy using it for activity management very much. It's incredibly easy to update items without drilling down into the item, though if you need to drill down, it's always fairly easy to get back to your starting location. Organizing activities by when I want to start them and managing my work day is so much easier using siebel.

Nachteile: It can be clunky to get to know in the beginning. It's not as intuitive as newer crm software and so there can be more manual work on the front end.

"Siebel, the build for your needs product."

Kommentare: Over all it was ok could always use some improvement and updating.

Vorteile: Liked the user interfaces it was simple and effective (mostly) it was easy to learn especially as someone just learning this industry.

Nachteile: Some of the functionality of the features didn’t work all the time. Many many many server crashes .

"I was responsible for siebel mdm / crm support at Bank Banesco Venezuela"

Kommentare: The benefits were purely technical. That is, I learned to design and implement the entire CRM / MDM layer in an environment of: development, quality and production to manage more than 8 million users in the Banesco client.
In turn, I was able to determine that despite its high cost, Siebel is much more robust than other CRM solutions such as: SUGAR, SALES FORCE and DYNAMICS.

Vorteile: The stability of the platform when working in a high availability environment and the simplification of commands with the server Manager that allows optimizing the processes of: monitoring and support.

Nachteile: Software I really like many things, but regretting its high cost of implementation and maintenance is not consistent with the support provided by the provider oracle.
In a nutshell, a lot of investment money ...
