4. Siebel CRM vs. Salesforce1 Workflow Comparison

Oracle Siebel CRM – Siebel has a full, process-oriented workflow engine built right into the platform. It is not ‘easy’ to use, and programming knowledge is required. That being said, Siebel possesses perhaps the most robust business process engine of any given CRM. Workflows in Siebel are built using standard BPM notation.

Salesforce – Since Salesforce launched Salesforce1, it has really revolutionized how workflows are perceived as a CRM buzzword. Salesforce1 makes it very easy to create drag-and-drop, customizable workflows within the product. Although very easy to use, they are not quite as robust as Siebel’s workflow tools.
