A fast and reliable solution that reduces data storage costs
The product leverages flash storage and predictive analytics. It helps us to monitor the infrastructure and reduces data storage costs. It reduces risk against snapshots and has great performance and capacity. The tool can be useful for applications that need speed. It is a fast and reliable solution. It can work on various IT platforms and environments.
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

"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
"I haven't had any stability issues, and Sales Cloud seems to be highly stable."
"You can have non-sales and marketing personnel using Chatter without driving up licensing cost."
"This solution offers a good user experience. It is easy to learn and use, even for those who are using it for the first time."
"So far, everything has been good."
"When it comes to the lead management process, we track and evaluate the different stages and the challenges in each stage. It's so that the entire team has visibility of what's going on with each individual lead."
"It is a good platform that shows consolidation of information for our customer base."
"This product is lightweight."
"Cloud computing is the future."
 

Cons

"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
"The product has a security flaw."
"Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard."
"As a presale team leader, I see a need to better understand the platform because our current knowledge is limited. This makes it difficult to explore possible extensions of its use. We also want more detailed information on commercial opportunities included in the tool. It needs to include better documentation on the functions it offers."
"The reporting features and the dashboard must be improved."
"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."
"The monitoring is very good, but it could be better."
"No free SQL like Query Analytics tool (you are limitied to a certain amount of tables you can include in a query/report)"
"There are also certain restrictions on the reports in terms of the number of records. Ideally, that should be removed."
"I need to do a lot of customization to implement an ERP solution for an energy and utilities client versus a BFS client."
"The price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be reduced. It is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive. We pay monthly for the solution but we are billed quarterly."
"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."
"The price is fair."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
"In terms of investment value and return of the investment, Salesforce right now is pretty good on the Western markets where the price of the employees is pretty high."
"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."
