Find out in this report how the two CRM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The case management feature is really valuable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."
"Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options."
"One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach."

"It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"We use workflows for sales flows and various automation, such as assignment rules and validations provided by Salesforce. When out-of-the-box solutions aren't enough, we delve into coding, utilizing synchronous and asynchronous methods. Additionally, we employ tools like lightning components."
"There are many extremely useful features."
"The scalability is good."
"The company wants to implement the idea of democracy within IT. As an end user, you can do a lot by yourself, so you do not have to write code. The idea is that they go for low-code and they use flow. It's possible to update records and do things like automation without writing real codes. I think this is one of the advantages of the solution."
"Salesforce helps up keep track of candidates."
"Suitable for all sizes of organizations."
"The reporting features are useful."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are opportunity management and metric integration."
"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"
"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."
"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."
"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."
"For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases."
"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."
"CI/CD is the biggest room for improvement. Deployment between environments and configuration."
"One aspect I find challenging with Salesforce Sales Cloud is its forecasting feature. While it's useful for analyzing sales data and predicting future revenue, I've encountered instances where the outcomes weren't as perfect as expected."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration."
"The solution's configuration could be improved because getting a purchase order and administrating the right fields can be a real headache for us, especially when the Sales Cloud system enters an error stage."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration."
"The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful."
"There are also certain restrictions on the reports in terms of the number of records. Ideally, that should be removed."
"Salesforce is a powerful tool and you need specialists to create or to develop new functionalities. It is a difficult platform to learn to manage and you need years to know the whole product."
