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."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is a CRM-based platform, it is used for customer relationship management, where we securely store customers' data, manage those customers' data, and easily connect with our customers in the best environment."
"I find the forecasting the most valuable feature. It's valuable because there are two types of forecasting, customizable and collaborative forecasting."
"Great flexibility"
"Quick go-to-market with a sales process Utilization of the "platform as a service" features of Salesforce Appexchange packages help to quickly hit requirements Robust feature set when considering all the Salesforce packages - Sales Cloud, communities, Service Cloud etc."
"We have been able to automate a large portion of the manual processes for our sales activities."
"This is a stable product."
"We can implement checks to ensure proper data entry with validation rules."
"The reporting and dashboards functionalities are the most valuable features for us."
 

Cons

"There are no reports available."
"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"It is expensive."
"No free SQL like Query Analytics tool (you are limitied to a certain amount of tables you can include in a query/report)"
"Sales Cloud could be improved with more training. In general, the training is very good, but you have to really seek out some good options in order to upskill yourself. Another thing, which could also be a benefit, is that Sales is very customizable. If you move from one organization to another, you can see your Salesforce as before, but their Sales Cloud may look completely different from what you're used to. It's not like Microsoft Excel or Trello, where the layout and all the functions are the same. Because it's so customizable, I feel like there is a bit of a learning curve when you inherit another Sales Cloud instance. To be honest, I think that's the beauty of Salesforce because you can customize it so much to fit your needs as a company. It follows your processes and use cases in order for you to get the most out of the system itself."
"As of now, Salesforce is the most expensive CRMs out there - making it a bit more affordable will help them in a big way."
"It is very clunky. Its interface can be more user-friendly."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"One area where the solution could improve is with handling feature requests."
"My rating for Salesforce Sales Cloud is seven. There are modern AI products that are now in the market offering better capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive. We pay monthly for the solution but we are billed quarterly."
"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."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 licensing fees are reasonable."
