"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it."
"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"The product is expensive."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms."
