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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"We are currently implementing this tool and have high hopes for how it will drive drive lead generation and management."
"The biggest benefit of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is a centralized point, a centralized source of truth for customer-related information; you centralize all the information in a single database, and that's the biggest benefit."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is scalable."
"Sales Cloud really helps to point out different numbers for our company in terms of what converts or what doesn't."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are reporting and dashboards."
"I haven't had any stability issues, and Sales Cloud seems to be highly stable."
"The most significant features of Salesforce Sales Cloud that boosted our sales productivity are workflow management and integrated commentary. Workflow management allows us to progress from exploration and qualification to closing a sale. The integrated commentary feature lets us open conversation threads around a sale and bring in team members, enhancing collaboration."
"We can implement checks to ensure proper data entry with validation rules."
 

Cons

"Would love to see the option to create required fields on the contact records."
"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."
"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."
"The areas revolving around archiving and backup in Salesforce Sales Cloud are not as advanced as some of the other solutions in the market."
"The reporting features and the dashboard must be improved."
"One concern with Salesforce's CPQ solution is that the integration and user interface are not as seamless as possible."
"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."
"Sale items for complex-solution sales."
"They should also include ATP and CTP functionality."
"The developer console might be enhanced."
"I would love Salesforce to keep on committing and building out what they call flows. It's their point-and-click version of coding. You don't have to be a coder to create essentially what a developer would have to normally, which is a great feature, but it could still be improved upon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"Price-wise, the product does not fall under the category of cheaply priced products."
"The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is an expensive solution."
"It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
"The price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be reduced. It is expensive."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee."
