Pranay Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Developer at hireHQ
Automation has reduced repetitive hiring queries and improves candidate support efficiency
Training and refining the intent recognition on Accenture Conversational AI has not been straightforward, as we needed extensive data for training the AI chatbot and faced a learning curve in managing diverse candidate queries during the implementation process. Initially, the training was moderately easy thanks to the structured intent and entity setup, and we created various training phrases such as check status and application status. Accenture Conversational AI can be improved due to the initial learning curve for training data, as it sometimes misclassified user queries, especially with varied phrasing, prompting a need to enhance intent recognition accuracy. We diversified training phrases for each intent, improved accuracy through NLU training, and minimized fallback rate for user queries, along with enhancing context handling for better continuity in conversations. On the user experience front, there should be clear, human-readable responses and a user-friendly conversational design to avoid confusion, especially with long and unclear responses that are not beneficial for user interactions.

Uses data-driven insights to improve workflows and highlights a need for simpler automation tools
Salesforce Sales Cloud can be improved in several areas. First, the UI is an area for enhancement. Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds. It also needs to be made extremely more user-friendly. For new people using Salesforce Sales Cloud, there is a steep learning curve. Additionally, giving non-admins the ability to make changes on the fly is something that I feel is necessary. Currently with Salesforce Sales Cloud, you need to have a consultant. It's hard to build the flows or workflows. Making it easier for that end-user who's not so technically minded to help themselves is essential. I choose seven out of ten because I think you need a consultant or a consulting company to help you build it out. Certain changes should be made much easier and more user-friendly where an admin can do it. The automation processes need to be much simpler. If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Accenture Conversational AI has positively impacted my organization, as I need to spend more time myself, since it is an automated OS and automated process orchestrator, we basically have to spend less time on our participant or teammate or yourself."
"The accuracy and reliability of output from Accenture Conversational AI have been very consistent, and I think it is one of its greatest strengths as we are able to get great data from it."
"Our NPS score actually improved by eight points by introducing this feature, Instill Chat, which is built on Accenture Conversational AI."
"Within three months, it was resolving nearly 65% of incoming requests without human intervention, which significantly improved customer satisfaction and reduced agent workload."
"Accenture Conversational AI helped with those repetitive queries between candidates and recruiters by allowing candidates to check application statuses through our application handle and conduct interview scheduling from the enterprise side."
"From what I have observed in industry discussions and demonstrations, Accenture Conversational AI appears to be stable and reliable, particularly because it is designed for enterprise environments where consistency and uptime are critical."
"From a business perspective, Accenture Conversational AI significantly improved customer experience by providing instant responses."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are code hub management and sale opportunity management."
"Considering the alternatives that I know, it is the best solution."
"We use Salesforce for every aspect of our business and it improves efficiency and gives us one source of truth when it comes to organizational information."
"The entire organisation is now on the same page, with one source of truth."
"The features of Sales Cloud most useful for testing and running email campaigns are highly valuable."
"Different leads and fields can be utilized inside of Salesforce, using the Sales Path to follow those specific leads, and what leads convert over into opportunities. The leveraging of fields help to track progress on the user interface."
"Salesforce helps me very well organizing my daily tasks and shows me an overview of what I have reached every day or offers me reports which can be easily created and saved for my personal way of working."
"I would recommend Sales Cloud for anyone who has a sales team that needs to be optimized and for any size of enterprise."
 

Cons

"One area that could be improved is ease of onboarding and accessibility for non-technical stakeholders such as myself."
"My advice to others looking into using Accenture Conversational AI is do not use it."
"One area that could improve is ease of debugging complex conversation flows."
"Accenture Conversational AI is good and capable, but there is still room for improvement around debugging some complex integration requirements."
"The only thing that I have seen with Accenture Conversational AI is that for long-term operations, it becomes a little bit more expensive."
"We started using Accenture Conversational AI, and feature-wise, it is great, but the engineering side of this platform is really heavy, and the cost is very substantial."
"Training and refining the intent recognition on Accenture Conversational AI has not been straightforward, as we needed extensive data for training the AI chatbot and faced a learning curve in managing diverse candidate queries during the implementation process."
"I think the user experience could be improved. I would like the user interface to be a bit more user-friendly and modern."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"CI/CD is the biggest room for improvement. Deployment between environments and configuration."
"Reporting can become slow to pull once you reach a certain limit of contact records due to the complexity and volume of the data available."
"I would like if Sales Cloud had the flexibility to create or edit the forms used to submit requests. Right now, they're fixed, and users can't edit them. Only administrators have editing privileges, so it takes too long to make changes."
"Its license is expensive. It is probably a lot more than smaller solutions."
"If you don't have sysadmin rights, you can be hamstrung doing many things manually and one at a time."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud could improve by allowing some customization of the processes with coding to avoid the problem of memory. When we use only flows in the process, which can become large flows, they are more complicated to debug and also for maintenance. It's better to invoke some Apex classes to make the process better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
"I've seen the prices for Salesforce Sales Cloud, but I haven't been the one to handle the money. As someone who's only visually looked at the price, I would imagine it's on the pricier side, but they do have a ton of leverage, and seeing that everyone I've worked for has always been dedicated to continuing Salesforce. I've never worked for anyone who has threatened to leave. Everyone has accepted the pricing for what they offer."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"Its license is expensive. It is probably a lot more than smaller solutions. It is around £500 a month, but I don't know how many licenses we have."
"We must pay for the licenses."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"We have a yearly license, and there are no hidden costs. Considering the Indian market, the pricing is reasonable. I don't consider it to be on the high side."
"It's expensive, storage being the most costly aspect."
