Salesforce Service Cloud Reviews

Pros

With Service Cloud, we have a complete overview on our Customers. From Lead to Case, we can log all customers activities and be proactive for their needs.

Cons

Often, you must adapt your process to the tool, not the tool to your process and that's the hardest part of Salesforce implementation. Also, multiple administrators can destroy your organization.

Pros

Only reports. They have a very good Reports which can be used to build a Dashboard which are very easily customised.

Cons

It is highly complex and it doesn't come with out of box customization. For every single feature implementation u will need a. Consultant. It is only suitable for big call center provided if they maintain a Salesforce engineering team to create and implement all the features as per the Support departments requirements.

Pros

Access from the cloud and data retention is great. When a salesperson left our company, we were able to easily see what the employee was working on, including last e-mails, quotes and buyers' contact information.

Cons

It was problematic with our accounting software to achieve an efficient integration, e.g., pulling sales data from our system into Salesforce. It also was a bit complicated as far as integrating Outlook with Salesforce to link e-mail correspondence.

Pros

We've been using SalesForce for roughly 3 years now, and it helped us drive great ROIs due to its easy usage in terms of data entry, categorizing each client or candidate, and also the functionality it provides such as mass emails that we can add HTML codes to make it look personalized or targeted, and also the option that let us see if a client or candidate already opened the email we sent.

Our Academy, BD, and Recruiting department drove great revenue because of this, and SalesForce did a great job in helping us drive sales, and place candidates to our clients in a short span of time.

Cons

What I least like about SalesForce is its downtimes. The only drawback I experience from SalesForce is the time to time down time it causes, but that was just minimal and not often so no harm really made.

Pros

Salesforce Service cloud comes with all the required out of the box functionality required for customer support, which includes below mentioned features which are required for setting up customer service .
1) Receiving the cases through multiple channels like Web and emails.
2) Auto assigning the cases to respective group based on the type of issue.
3)SLA definitions and escalation rules,
4)Assigning the knowledge articles to cases.
5)Self service portals.
6)Chatbots and Einstein analytics.
7)Configuring knowledge base.
8)reports and dashboards.
9)Easy API integrations.
10)Rich UI.

Cons

Some of the limitations associated with API limits ,Storage limitations. Cost associated with licensing .

Pros

I like the flexibility it offers in customizations and configurations. The appexchange also is a huge plus. You can find just about any addon you may need, and often times can even find a suitable solution for free.

Cons

The two biggest drawbacks I have noticed are the following:
The inability to use custom fiscal years in the new forecasting.
The inability to keep the side panel open when choosing a new contact in the lightning version of Salesforce for Outlook.

Pros

Salesforce allows you to do just about anything, and is famed for offering a wealth of data capture, visualization and processing options. As a small organization we create dour Salesforce architecture quite early on, probably before we needed it! It gives us a lot of credibility as an organization and we can magic up reports in no time. Many other apps now provide Salesforce integration which makes it easier when managing many different processes.

Cons

The one disadvantage is that it's certainly not the easiest system to use, and there's no way the average Jo can set themselves up on it alone. We worked with external consultants to set up our whole architecture and are constantly making changes to it.

Pros

my favorite thing about this software is its ease of use and the wide range of practical usage regardless of the industry . we use the Non profit version and i dont know how we ever got business done without it

Cons

I think the biggest con to me is building stuff on the back end and mapping. sometimes what im trying to map does not connect well with salesforce and it throws my report off

Pros

The basic features are easy to navigate and conveniently store mass amounts of information. We are a medium sized non-profit using the software to manage our donors, clients and contacts. While the software has capabilities far beyond our needs, it offers us the option of one tool for tracking a variety of aspects of our organization.

Cons

The software is so specific in its data entry that it is frustrating when small mistakes impact the data. Things as simple as making sure all addresses are consistent in spelling out the street type versus abbreviating can skew the reports. In order to use the software effectively, it requires extensive training that isn't easily taught to other coworkers. For an organization of our size, it becomes cumbersome to keep up with training employees on the software while maintaining workplace efficiency.

Pros

Salesforce makes working in a CRM so easy! I am able to keep an easy to view report of my accounts and see the most updated activity as well as be as detailed as needed within each account. The customization makes the platform incredibly convenient. I have experience with several CRM's but Salesforce has been the easiest to use yet!

Cons

The reporting functionality is AWESOME once you master it. It is be a little tricky but after getting experience with it and knowing what fields you want to pull it makes it easy.

Pros

Salesforce is completely customizable for any organization and very easy to use. Users / Admins / Developers find the software very easy to use/manage/develop and the support team at Salesforce is the best in the industry! If you are using any other CRM for your business I would recommend getting a demo from Salesforce! It will completely change the way you do business

Cons

There is NOTHING that I like least about this software! I've had nothing but positive experiences with this software!

Pros

Acquiring the Salesforce license is accessible to all types of users, one of the best price-value relationships in the market. It also has a system to interact with audiences and sales assistance, everything you need to venture into E-commerce.

Cons

Its integration to other devices presents difficulties with IO devices. Your way of tracking spending sheets is confusing and it takes time to get used to Salesforce mechanics. As for your marketing automation, this is a bit complicated to apply, and it's not very customizable.

Pros

Automatic case assignment rule, flexible workflow and process builder this is one of the most powerful user configurable application I have seen.

Cons

Adding comment to case still does not support inline picture. Converting classic to lightning appears to be more involving than expected.

Pros

I like that it offers a central location to perform a lot of the functions of my job.

Cons

Sometimes it can be a bit confusing to navigate when I'm using functions other than ones that I use on a daily basis.

Pros

One of the best features of Salesforce is when you complete a task and it automatically creates a follow-up task.

Cons

Too expensive for an individual user. If you are a part of a company that pays for it, that's great.

Pros

There are so many useful features out-of-the-box. Omni-channel routing, knowledgebase, live web chat, console experience, etc. On top of that, it can be customized easily with the platform.

Pros

Industry standard that plays well with other software. Easy and intuitive to use.

Cons

The product requires constant maintenance to ensure no duplicates and that the data is still relevant.

Pros

Helps to organise sales process.
Great place to keep all the information on your Customers (as any CRM should do).

Cons

Not enough account management features.
Too many fields in the initial reporting which makes it hard to pinpoint the most important records.
Lack of clear pipeline

Pros

Service Cloud is so flexible as a Service Support tool. The ability to use out of the box functionality as well as customization including Apex is what makes it top in it's class. Through our implementation process we ran into some issues that Salesforce didn't support out of the box and the business didn't want to change process on. Every scenario has been able to be handled with an app or customization with relative ease.

Cons

Chatter functionality is intended to replace Case Comments - this was poorly thought out and left several of the gaps our business had to handle via customized solutions. Lots of room for improvement here.

Pros

The good and bad of Salesforce is a two-edged sword. It is highly customizable and very robust, but that can also make it challenging to use. I do like the automated notifications you can set up

Cons

It can be complex to use and the UI isn't super appealing. The reporting is really bad - both the UI and the functionality

Pros

We are pleased to see the demonstration of this platform, what we could note in our database is the following. It has an interesting interface, very affordable when it comes to be used and a top quality technical service.

Cons

However, we must emphasize the negative things to make a balanced criticism, first of all we must know and be aware that it has a terrible performance and even worse optimization, and a range of tools quite confusing.

Pros

I like that it has so many features and many customizable options to fit our service. Easy search and organization tools allow us to look through thousands of customers quickly.

Cons

Overwhelming at first, but they offer a lot of support and training to really master the software. Have had for over 2 years.

Pros

Coming from trying to service our users with Mantis, ServiceCenter, JIRA, Remedy, EMAIL - Salesforce integration with Service Butt takes the cake. Easy to setup and easy to get metrics out of.

Cons

To truly get all the features you need to spend more $$ vs your initial butt.....but that is about it.

Pros

I'm able to track sales for my business and determine which outlets they are coming from to know where to best invest my money.

Cons

Scheduled maintenances can be frustrating at times. This is when you cannot use the software.

Pros

I love the data tracking and the integration with many other software products. I also like the ability to add custom fields and report on those fields.

Cons

The UI is just horrible, the new lightning is even worse and the ability to easily manage and or make reports is only for the advanced user.
