Cons
"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package.""The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive.""The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners.""The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it."

"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now.""The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better.""They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope.""The tool needs to simplify its features.""There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful.""Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization.""The product is expensive.""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."

We were able to receive a good price for the community licensing they bundled Salesforce Einstein Analytics. They bundled a lot of capabilities with us with the ELA."

  • "I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
  • "The solution is expensive."
