A CRM solution with support buck lacks bigger field configurations

What needs improvement?

The field configuration level point of view is not big because we have been struggling with it for six months.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Salesforce for six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are evaluating Freshworks and Zendesk.

What other advice do I have?

We focus on integration. We integrated the ticket details from Salesforce to ServiceNow. The same is true with Zoho CRM tickets to Salesforce.

Other tools have similar features to Salesforce. If we can replicate those features in Salesforce, it will be helpful. For example, new elements should be introduced for any user transitioning from ServiceNow to Salesforce, enabling developers to understand the integration points required. Integration at the cloud level is essential, and thorough documentation is necessary.

We need pricing information to access account requirements for integration platforms in Salesforce, which can be challenging compared to other developer resources.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
