We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need.""We have found the scalability to be very good.""The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good.""Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good.""Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well.""Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics.""The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it.""The tool is valuable. It's one of the greatest programs I'm currently working with, and I believe it will continue to be crucial in the next four to five years. It's the future of our operations. Integrating other systems and conducting campaigns is easy. The solution relies heavily on AI."

Cons
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards.""Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data.""The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms.""The product must be more transparent.""Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization.""If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time.""If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records.""The tool needs to simplify its features."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."
  • "The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing. We ended up getting an enterprise licensing agreement(ELA). That took a lot of negotiations and a lot of pressure. 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."
  • "Although it was deemed slightly expensive and failed the cost analysis we conducted in our company, we proceeded with the purchase because we desired to have a leading CRM system in the industry."
  • "Price-wise, Salesforce Einstein Analytics is an expensive tool."
  • "I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "Salesforce Einstein Analytics can be considered somewhat expensive, depending on the company's needs. If they want the complete package with all the features, it's pricier. It all comes down to what the company requires from the platform."

    Top Answer:The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions.
    Top Answer:There's no transparency in how the models are created. If I give input, the data goes inside the Einstein platform, and it produces the results. I do not know the models the product uses. I do not… more »
