Featured Reviews

Pranay Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior software engineer at Simplify vms
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

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The CSAT score improved from 40% to almost 90%, and the average call handling time has been reduced so that customers save their time on more productive activities instead of just fetching reports from the old systems."
"From a business perspective, Accenture Conversational AI significantly improved customer experience by providing instant responses."
"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."
"Accenture Conversational AI has improved our customer satisfaction rate by ninety-five percent because we are always resolving queries."
"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."
"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 solution can scale massively. I've been quite impressed."
"I would recommend Sales Cloud for anyone who has a sales team that needs to be optimized and for any size of enterprise."
"There are many extremely useful features."
"Salesforce is way better in terms of user experience; working in the system, it's much more intuitive, more user-oriented, and user-friendly than the other systems I had in my previous experience."
"The company wants to implement the idea of democracy within IT. As an end user, you can do a lot by yourself, so you do not have to write code. The idea is that they go for low-code and they use flow. It's possible to update records and do things like automation without writing real codes. I think this is one of the advantages of the solution."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are ease of use. It is very simple for the sales team to use. You can integrate it with a lot of other systems."
"In my company, we have very manual backend disparate systems, but the good news is that through Salesforce—not only the Sales Cloud, but the Commerce Cloud—our customer-facing experience is best-in-class with this solution."
"This product is lightweight."
 

Cons

"Accenture Conversational AI's customer service team has been helpful at some points, but I give them a rating of seven out of ten because there were times we contacted them and did not get a response, even though we were in need of quick support."
"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."
"Support is an important aspect here, especially in the African market, as Accenture is not directly present in Kenya, so sometimes online support does not work out because people need the physical presence, requiring a kind of physical touch."
"My advice to others looking into using Accenture Conversational AI is do not use it."
"The only thing that I have seen with Accenture Conversational AI is that for long-term operations, it becomes a little bit more expensive."
"One area that could improve is ease of debugging complex conversation flows."
"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."
"The solution's customer support is not so good."
"The product is not stable when enhancements are done to the cloud."
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive."
"Sometimes they refresh the production environment, which can be a bit of a challenge."
"The solution's design could be improved."
"It would be nice if they had an ERP offering or a firm strategic partnership with a best-in-class ERP. So rather than say they're just ERP agnostic, you would pick whichever ERP you want, which is very generic. I think it would have a lot of merit if they partnered strategically with a best-in-class trusted ERP platform or acquired an ERP platform."
"One concern with Salesforce's CPQ solution is that the integration and user interface are not as seamless as possible."
"The solution can be difficult to understand for customers of Salesforce."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a license required to use this solution and the price is expensive. It could be reduced."
"We must pay for the licenses."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"The overall price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be better, it is more expensive than other competitors. There is an annual license for Salesforce Sales Cloud."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee."
"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."
"The price of the product is very high. I rate the product price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means expensive."
"It is alright for now because we ended up getting a discount off the base price. So, for now, it is okay. We may have to renegotiate when we get more users, and I don't know if the price would stay the same or increase. It has just a standard licensing fee. If you end up hiring a consultant for implementation, you will have to pay for the implementation. Other than that, there are no additional fees."
