"We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors."
"Our use case within the organization covers the entire cycle from lead generation, demand planning, and opportunities to realization and closure. For our clients, Salesforce is used more to plot the cycle from products to cash and lead to revenue. They mostly build offers and pricing quotations in the Salesforce environment through their field marketing agents."
"The most valuable features of the solution are reporting and dashboards."
"The most valuable features are custom objects, custom workflows, triggering, and integration with other SaaS solutions."
"I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be stable."
"I can see activity per customer. I can find out quickly and easily who was the last person I talked to, when it was, and what we were talking about."

"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are increased productivity and business accuracy."
"Salesforce is a very powerful tool which helps us to build that through tools like Process Builder or Flows, or even write code to achieve these scenarios."
"The complexity of the solution is very less."
"I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details."
"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."
"It is a stable product."
"The strength lies in its ability to work cohesively with other systems, creating a centralized hub that enhances efficiency and collaboration across various functionalities within our organization."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use."
"We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management."
"The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."
"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."
"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."
"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."
"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 disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"The user interface could be more intuitive. I had some challenges with how to convert from a lead to an opportunity."
"Applications that can help with migrating data over from the sandbox to production would make it easier because sometimes change sets can be bulky and they're not always as effective. This can be frustrating when you make a lot of changes and try to put those changes into production."
"The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful."
"The monitoring is very good, but it could be better."
"One area where the solution could improve is with handling feature requests."
"We have a very broad set of products at our company. The process to get that information accurately into the Sales Cloud system could use improvement. It shouldn't take weeks of time. The process of identifying products that are being sold for forecasting purposes and sales tracking purposes is too hard."
"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."
"Sales Cloud could improve in areas such as AI integration, particularly for templates."
"Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map."
"One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention."
"The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The integrations with other solutions can be improved."
"The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great."
"Knowledge Management platform could use some intelligence improvements. Data mining techniques for recommending the most relevant knowledge articles would be beneficial. Currently, that selection process is more administrative. AI could be used here."
"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."
