Featured Reviews

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

"In five minutes, you can create a marketing campaign and send the campaign to users in less than 10 minutes."
"Salesforce is very user-friendly, which makes it effortless to track business management reports."
"Our productivity and capability to solve and anticipate problems in the Call Centre team increased at least 50%."
"The solution has great performance and it makes it very easy for new people to locate information."
"Salesforce helps me very well organizing my daily tasks and shows me an overview of what I have reached every day or offers me reports which can be easily created and saved for my personal way of working."
"The ability to customize many things, from the UI to the business logic, and the fact that the solution uses a cloud platform were valuable features for our organization."
"I find the Salesforce Sales Cloud dashboard and analysis reports valuable and easier to use than those of the solution's competitors."
"The solution has the ability to run reports on the pipeline and understand the likelihood of the sales. The analytics tools are very good."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"The areas revolving around archiving and backup in Salesforce Sales Cloud are not as advanced as some of the other solutions in the market."
"And here, based on my past experience, I can say that Salesforce still has room for integration improvements."
"It is expensive."
"We are not very satisfied with technical support. You have to go through these gateways, and sometimes the support will respond, and sometimes they don't respond at all."
"Although the implementation was straightforward with our in-house team, it did take 12 weeks to complete the process."
"The reporting features and the dashboard must be improved."
"The solution's scalability has some limitations."
"It is very clunky. Its interface can be more user-friendly. There is always way too much information going on in Salesforce. It puts too much on your screen. It gives you every piece of information in the world, whereas I need less. It would be nice for it to be cleaned up a bit."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a yearly subscription fee."
"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 subscription is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"Price-wise, the product does not fall under the category of cheaply priced products."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
