"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors."
"It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."
"The case management feature is really valuable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I would recommend Sales Cloud for anyone who has a sales team that needs to be optimized and for any size of enterprise."
"The product is very fast and responsive. There's no lag time when you are on the platform."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are code hub management and sale opportunity management."
"The tracking and monitoring of daily activities within each account is the most valuable aspect of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It allows for staying informed about ongoing activities, ensuring comprehensive visibility into the progress made within each account on a regular basis. Additionally, the plugins that are available, such as ZoolInfo are useful."
"On the high level, it's all about managing the clients, managing the opportunities around those clients, managing the tasks, calls, activities, all those things."
"Salesforce helps up keep track of candidates."
"It is nice to have the install base information at your fingertips when you look up a company."
"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"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 UI should be improved."
"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"
"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."
"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."
"It is a bit pricey."
"The user interface could be better in Salesforce Sales Cloud because it feels a little heavy."
"The reporting formats could be better."
"There are things that could be improved with respect to file sharing. There is a limited file size."
"The cost of this solution could be improved."
"It would be nice if they had an ERP offering or a firm strategic partnership with a best-in-class ERP. So rather than say they're just ERP agnostic, you would pick whichever ERP you want, which is very generic. I think it would have a lot of merit if they partnered strategically with a best-in-class trusted ERP platform or acquired an ERP platform."
"I would love Salesforce to keep on committing and building out what they call flows. It's their point-and-click version of coding. You don't have to be a coder to create essentially what a developer would have to normally, which is a great feature, but it could still be improved upon."
"The setup of Salesforce Sales Cloud is complex. You need specialists in that area to be able to have a good setup. Once it's set up properly, running it is seamless. That's the most beautiful thing about Salesforce Sales Cloud."
