A rigid product that is hard to customize, has no mobile app, and is rarely updated by the vendor
There is no mobile application. The product is unmoving, as there is no obvious development or enhancements being made. When we are trying to compete in a market we need an updated product. The product is not easily customizable and we have to depend on the reseller for that. It's a rigid product. There are no reports available.

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

"Stability-wise, it is working fine with no technical faults."
"The features of Sales Cloud most useful for testing and running email campaigns are highly valuable."
"The solution has the ability to run reports on the pipeline and understand the likelihood of the sales. The analytics tools are very good."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud has positively impacted my organization as the old excuse where a lot of people used to prefer working in Excel has been eliminated; nowadays, we have a system that's built around our business needs, which helps us optimize processes, make processes much shorter, and give us insights into sales cycles and how to improve them."
"You can capture all the contacts that relate to an account or business, including personal details."
"It has custom fields and custom reports which can align to our business objectives and marketing focus."
"The most valuable features are custom objects, custom workflows, triggering, and integration with other SaaS solutions."
"It is a one-stop shop for running anything related to sales. You can do a lot of things."
"You can adapt Salesforce for all customer needs."
 

Cons

"There are no reports available."
"Become VERY expensive as you grow. Endless number of limitation force license upgrade to Enterprise and then to Unlimited, and to double the price per user."
"The developer console might be enhanced."
"Compared to other CRM solutions, Salesforce is expensive. It is more affordable for enterprise users than for small businesses."
"It takes a long time to get fully up and running on Salesforce."
"CI/CD is the biggest room for improvement. Deployment between environments and configuration."
"When importing from other apps, it gets messy."
"There are things that could be improved with respect to file sharing. There is a limited file size."
"The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of users. It has a different pricing for 0-100 and another for 100-500 users."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"Not the cheapest"
"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."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
