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

"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."
"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The product is very fast and responsive. There's no lag time when you are on the platform."
"It is very good, and I would recommend it to others who are considering using it."
"Salesforce helps up keep track of candidates."
"It is a very good tool. There are a lot of interesting features. It is one of the best solutions."
"My primary use case is for business opportunities, following sales and pre-sales actions, and contacting customers."
"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."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is very stable."
 

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."
"Premier support costs a lot of money and oftentimes they do not have better information than a good admin could find out on their own."
"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."
"The reporting functionality of Salesforce is much more a query engine than a true reporting module."
"The solution could improve the partner management and communities. For the enterprise licenses, we have the help, but it should also be extended with the features to the partner community."
"It's a very broad tool."
"The areas for improvement are adding more options to customize the UI, and the business logic."
"The reporting features and the dashboard must be improved."
"The licensing price could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive. We pay monthly for the solution but we are billed quarterly."
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"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."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"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 price is fair."
"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."
