"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."
"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."
"The complexity of the solution is very less."
"The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians."
"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."
"Data in reports and dashboards are easily accessible."
"One feature of ServiceNow that is important is the workflow engine. From my perspective [as a consultant] the power to be able to structure processes, represent workforce management for organizations, and the visibility provided by the reporting are additional top features."
"It is a very promising product. They have a new release every six months. They're investing quite a lot, and you can do many creative things with the product. If you know how it works, you can have stricter rules in the product."
"I like that in ServiceNow creating workflows is simpler than that in HP Service Manager. Also, I really like the customization feature. It allows us to customize the service portal and permits us to do a lot of customization per business needs."
"It is user-friendly and simple to use."
"Easy to implement and consolidate different platforms and users with useful functionalities."
"We always get good support."
"There are many expansions available."
"The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great."
"Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map."

"The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper."
"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license."
"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."
"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved."
"Where it could be improved is Discovery. This may sound odd since I just praised the value of ServiceNow Discovery, but improvements to its automatic detection, the breadth of devices, and the depth of devices covered, as well as keeping up with new technologies, are all essential."
"The solution could improve by being more stable."
"In an upcoming release, there should be more administration tools."
"Very expensive."
"The technical support SLA can be improved because sometimes they take a long time to answer our queries."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved and given a better design."
