Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are code hub management and sale opportunity management.""One of the most valuable features is the automation of Sales Cloud. It gives us the ability to easily—without the use of coding—create automation in order for us to do our work a lot more efficiently, whether it's notification reminders or certain automatic processes. There are a lot of things that Sales Cloud can do that, in my opinion, make everyone's jobs a whole lot easier and give them the visibility they need when they require it, when talking to customers and prospecting. It makes the account management process easier as well.""The solution can scale massively. I've been quite impressed.""Salesforce Sales Cloud is very reliable and provides good stability and security.""The product is very fast and responsive. There's no lag time when you are on the platform.""The most valuable features are the reporting and the custom codes.""There are many extremely useful features.""I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be stable."

"It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ.""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.""Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features. It includes robust case routing, escalation capabilities, entitlement mapping, and entanglement rules. Additionally, it supports Computer Telephone Integration (CTI), which allows for automatic case generation when a call is made to a designated number.""The complexity of the solution is very less.""It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up.""The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use.""The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians.""The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready."

"The solution has a great filtering feature.""The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."

More Samanage Pros →

Cons
"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.""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.""The solution could improve the partner management and communities. For the enterprise licenses, we have the help, but it should also be extended with the features to the partner community.""The performance is sometimes slow. There is too much information and this makes it difficult to find the answers we are looking for.""Salesforce Sales Cloud does not integrate with Slack or WhatsApp, for example. As a result, there is no easy way to directly log a conversation with a client that occurred on one of these platforms. There are a few things that still need to be done manually in these instances.""If they could have convenient APIs into the other parts of the corporation that I wish to share data with, that would be helpful.""When importing from other apps, it gets messy.""The solution's design could be improved."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud Cons →

"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""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.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""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 product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved."

"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating.""The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The subscription is on a monthly basis."
  • "The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
  • "It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
  • "I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
  • "The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
  • "My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
  • "Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
  • "Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."

  • "I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."
  • "Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
  • "The price is too expensive."
  • "We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
  • "The tool is pretty expensive."
  • "The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
  • "The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
