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.
Valdi Venter - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner | Director of Operations at Expert Technology Solutions
A modular, easy-to-use solution that needs to improve support and include automation
There are one or two annoying things. For example, if you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself. That's annoying. If you have five items in the drop-down list or if you have a hundred, it's just pathetic. It makes no sense that you have to do that because I've never seen it not work before in any other system that I've ever worked with. If you make a list of things, most solutions automatically put it in an alphabetized order. Or it'll put it in date order, but there is some order. It doesn't just go randomly in the order you create them. For example, I might load about 20 neighborhoods into a drop-down list, starting at "a" and ending at "z." But I might miss one of the "b's" and two of the "c's," so I add them, but they are added after the "z." Then I have to go to the bottom of the list, click on the one that starts with "b," and drag it all the way up to the "b's." That's just a pain in the butt.

"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are opportunity management and metric integration."
"The entire organisation is now on the same page, with one source of truth."
"The fact that we can build our own modules on the solution is really quite attractive, and it's not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
"Very flexible and customizable; we appreciate being able to host it locally with direct access to the backend."
 

Cons

"I would like to see licensing fees reduced in the next release."
"When importing from other apps, it gets messy."
"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 connectivity has some latency. It could be more responsive."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"Amount of storage provided is limited."
"Become VERY expensive as you grow. Endless number of limitation force license upgrade to Enterprise and then to Unlimited, and to double the price per user."
"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
"If you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself."
"The charts and graphs available out of the box are pretty outdated, and you're a little limited in how you can present information on the dashboard without adding modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"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."
"Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."
"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
