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's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
"This is very flexible product."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is used for selling, tracking leads, verifying customer information, scheduling appointments, visiting customers, and costing leads."
"As a Software sales professional, Salesforce.com helps me greatly organize the multitude of complex sales cycles I manage on a daily basis."
"On the high level, it's all about managing the clients, managing the opportunities around those clients, managing the tasks, calls, activities, all those things."
"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."
"User adoption has improved a lot resulting in improvement of data quality and ROI of the software."
"The most valuable features of the solution are reporting and dashboards."
"There are many extremely useful features."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
"Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds and needs to be made extremely more user-friendly."
"It could have a more user-friendly interface."
"Reporting can become slow to pull once you reach a certain limit of contact records due to the complexity and volume of the data available."
"The only time I have ever been upset with Salesforce was when I failed my certification exam."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration."
"I would like to see licensing fees reduced in the next release."
"The user interface could be more intuitive. I had some challenges with how to convert from a lead to an opportunity."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud overall is too complex. There is too much functionality, it's hard for the user, at the beginning. It takes a lot of time to update the information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be reduced. It is expensive."
"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."
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"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 price is fair."
"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 subscription is on a monthly basis."
