Jonny Katz - PeerSpot reviewer
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot
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.

Pros

"The marketing and sales automation aspects of Infusionsoft have proved very useful; now we're able to see exactly where our leads and conversions are coming from, and which campaigns are actually working."
"It can be used for recruiting, e-marketing, and information marketing, and is excellent if you already have a following or database and are looking to systemetize, integrate, and orchestrate communication to your clients."
"We are currently implementing this tool and have high hopes for how it will drive drive lead generation and management."
"It gives us great visibility into tracking opportunities and interactions with customers through email and phone conversations."
"Salesforce's user interface is easy to use, and the reporting is good. It worked well with Excel, so I was okay with it. I don't know about integration with any other software because I didn't have to deal with them."
"We can implement checks to ensure proper data entry with validation rules."
"Great flexibility"
"I can see activity per customer. I can find out quickly and easily who was the last person I talked to, when it was, and what we were talking about."
"The entire organisation is now on the same page, with one source of truth."
"Sales Cloud's reporting and analytics capabilities influenced our sales strategy quite a lot. We can build every report as a dashboard, and there are various sorts of things."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The CRM area isn't exactly robust, which isn't a problem for us as we pair Infusionsoft with vTiger to handle our CRM and sales/marketing automation needs."
"Fluent email campaign and shopping experience design. Even for the tech savvy, it takes a very logical mind to storyboard out the scenarios and to program it on the back-end."
"Would love to see the option to create required fields on the contact records."
"Salesforce is a powerful tool and you need specialists to create or to develop new functionalities. It is a difficult platform to learn to manage and you need years to know the whole product."
"It takes a long time to get fully up and running on Salesforce."
"The built-in functionality is a little dated."
"Improvement, in my opinion, would be to include AI functionality in a simpler way; right now, it's not easy; it's cumbersome and requires some back and forth with different functionalities in the system, and it's a very complex integration."
"While the Salesforce version upgrades are in process, there may be some performance issues (however, Salesforce does inform users about this beforehand)."
"They should think about introducing some sort of fire system (colours: green - yellow - red) to set alarms of overdue tasks."
"Salesforce is more expensive than other CRM services."
"Setup cost was way higher than expected. We spent close to $1.5 million on setup including interfaces for 3000 seats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
"Sales Cloud is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"There is a license required to use this solution and the price is expensive. It could be reduced."
"You need to pay for the license per user per month. For example, you need to pay $100 per user. If you have 200 users using your Salesforce, that would be multiplied by a hundred, that's $20,000 per month and a quarter million per year."
