Cons

It was difficult to run live sales calls and leveraging Salesforce at the same time.""Getting reports in Salesforce is sometimes a little bit difficult. You need to do a lot of things to get detailed reports. This feature can be improved. Its price can also be improved. It is currently expensive.""An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration.""Salesforce needs to be re-platformed, or re-architected, making it lighter.""I think the interface should be enhanced and more user-friendly.""It would be better if they can add more from the pricing and functionality perspective. It is very expensive. I would be more than happy if they drop the prices.
