More LeadSquared Pros →

"Salesforce is constantly evolving and have a good release cycle.""I think the product's best feature is its analytics, as that's where customers derive value.

Reports are very good and easy to build.""The tool's most valuable feature is its automation. We can integrate data with the Salesforce hub. Its Einstein feature tells us whether our campaigns are on the right track. It also helps with ideas.""The notification system for customer alerts, including the integration of various communication channels such as email, SMS, and mobile push, is excellent.""I like that I can constantly add leads to Salesforce Marketing Cloud and look at accounts there. I also like that the solution lets me set up meetings.""It has excellent lead and opportunity tracking.""If you want to be able to communicate with your client using email, WhatsApp, and push notifications, know if the client opened the communication or not, and create and automate their journey, Marketing Cloud is very good."

Cons
"The notifications and workflow management can be improved in LeadSquared.""The solution can get quite expensive, especially as you add more users."

More LeadSquared Cons →

"Marketing Cloud's forecasting could be improved.""Salesforce Marketing Cloud should include more point-and-click functionality.""The solution can be difficult to set up for non-technical individuals.""The processing speed, the way information displays, and scrolling options can be improved.""We need a development environment for Marketing Cloud. Currently, there is no development environment for this solution. Other Salesforce products, such as Sales and Service Cloud, have a development environment in which the developers can do some things and then post them in production. Currently, everything happens in the production for Marketing Cloud. There is only one environment, and the developers and the end-users have to work in the same environment, which seems to be challenging. If Salesforce can bring a developer environment for Marketing Cloud, it will be good.""The dashboards should be more intuitive, as there are far too many items on them. You're not always sure what you're looking for.""Salesforce Marketing Cloud should be linked to an email ID, so the features after 15 days can update on the opportunity. You should not have to update them manually to the next step.""Marketing Cloud should change the script language that it uses because it's not good. It's tricky and difficult to develop."
