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 best features of the solution are its performance and stability."
"The ability to easily change layouts, create customized fields and customized reports makes my job so much easier."
"Salesforce runs smoothly."
"Salesforce has made it so much easier to expedite the process of getting the information about our leads and clients."
"The solution can scale massively. I've been quite impressed."
"Salesforce is wonderful."
"The tool is a feature-rich platform. It is cloud-based means it's accessible to multiple people in the organization simultaneously. It's a collaborative CRM system where updates are visible to everyone. You can use it lightly with basic notes or extensively with lots of information. It supports multimedia, allowing you to upload video and audio clips. Overall, it's a feature-rich platform, and I don't have one specific feature that stands out; it's just very functional and rich."
"The reporting is easy and helpful."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"It would be nice if they had an ERP offering or a firm strategic partnership with a best-in-class ERP."
"We prefer using local solutions like RD Station in Brazil due to pricing considerations."
"The areas revolving around archiving and backup in Salesforce Sales Cloud are not as advanced as some of the other solutions in the market."
"The areas for improvement are adding more options to customize the UI, and the business logic."
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive."
"One consistent comment about the product internally is that it has a steep learning curve, especially for some sales executives. Simplifying the interface would be a big leap forward. Like a chatbot, fewer clicks and more direct AI interaction could help. A simplified interface with AI support would make things much easier. We need an AI feature like ChatGPT that helps us to hold conversations."
"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."
"Its license is expensive. It is probably a lot more than smaller solutions."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is reasonable."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the product is very high. I rate the product price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means expensive."
"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 main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
"You need to pay for the license per user per month. For example, you need to pay $100 per user. If you have 200 users using your Salesforce, that would be multiplied by a hundred, that's $20,000 per month and a quarter million per year."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"Not the cheapest"
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
