Salesforce Sales Cloud Reviews

The main use case of the solution is to create tasks and flows. The sales team uses Salesforce Sales Cloud to do the tasks and assign them to campaigns and managers.

The main benefit of the product is that it provides a 360-degree view of the customers. We can integrate all the data, get the visions, and establish analysis. The solution is easy to use. The product helps get metrics from the sales team, contact the customers, and see whether the features in the products are doing well.

If a customer is not in the report, we cannot see these aspects and place some tasks on the sales team. Tracking the campaigns, the return of the contacts, and how a contact becomes a sale is the main benefit. The strategy is based on market analysis.

The cost of building integrations is the main challenge we face. We hired a Salesforce integrations partner so that we do not overload our team. It's very costly and takes a lot of time to do. Salesforce must build some connectors and features to make integrations easier.

I have been using the solution for two years.

We have 100 users, including sales team members and managers. We are thinking of expanding. We might evaluate Salesforce along with other data visualization tools like Tableau.

The technical support is good, but the team must improve the time it takes to respond. The escalations must be quicker.

Positive

The main challenge in the deployment is understanding the workflows. The technical setup is not difficult and long. Understanding and building the workflows is the main challenge. It is not a big problem, though. The product is SaaS-based. It's not a costly deployment. We can get new features and integrations quickly. Salesforce does the maintenance of the solution.

The return on investment is based on the tracking of the tasks. We can build campaigns. It makes the investment work. The main benefit is how the product integrates with the campaign tool and provides features to track the campaigns.

The price is fair. The tool is not that expensive, considering what it offers. It is worth the money.

I will recommend the product to others. It is worth the money. It provides a good price, service, and quality. It's a leader in their market. The product is worth it if we have the budget to use the mobile version, web version, and business intelligence features. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

We use Salesforce Sales Cloud for lead management, contact and account management, sales forecasting, collaboration, and workflow automation.

I've found lead management to be the most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It helps capture, track, and manage leads throughout the sales process. The tool is easy to learn. 

One aspect I find challenging with Salesforce Sales Cloud is its forecasting feature. While it's useful for analyzing sales data and predicting future revenue, I've encountered instances where the outcomes weren't as perfect as expected.

I have been using the product for three years. 

I haven't encountered any bugs with the product. 

The tool is scalable. My company has 35 users. 

Whenever we encounter issues or have questions regarding the product, we contact their support team by creating a ticket. They are always ready to assist us. 

Positive

Our organization decided to go with Salesforce Sales Cloud because it provides all the features we need to offer to our customers.

The tool's deployment is easy. 

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. 

I have expertise in Salesforce Sales Cloud, Revenue Cloud, and a little experience in Experience Cloud as well. I have been using Salesforce Sales Cloud for around three years. The Sales Cloud is generally used for lead management, where we can grab leads, convert them, and track opportunities and accounts. It helps manage our entire business process and track revenue by setting up quotes, orders, and invoices.

Salesforce has helped by providing a comprehensive system to capture opportunities and leads, maintaining everything in one place, and tracking customer data. Additionally, the automation features enhance business operations and revenue growth.

Salesforce provides a lot of tools out of the box like opportunity tracking, automation, and linking between account, contact, and posting. The lead conversion process, approval processes, and automation are particularly valuable.

The developer console might be enhanced. Sometimes, there can be a lot of open files, and improving the learning process of data processing would be beneficial.

I have been using this solution for around three years.

There are no stability issues found yet.

The solution is scalable.

Most of the time, customer service resolves the issues effectively. Sometimes they provide guidance on whether the issue is on their side or ours and suggest solutions.

Positive

As a Salesforce developer for three to four years, I consider it the best CRM to use. It is the first CRM I have worked on.

The initial setup doesn't take much time, it depends on the deployment tool used. For Capado, the setup might take one day or half a week. For others, it may be as quick as one hour.

Generally, we use tools and follow a structured process to deploy. Specific tools might be required as per customer requests.

I am not exactly sure about the numbers, but the licensing for different purposes can be checked online. The cost might vary if you need licenses for specific functionalities like CPQ.

I would recommend Salesforce for an enhanced revenue system, whole automation process, and CRM to lead management.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Sales Cloud helps me manage and track my sales pipeline effectively. It is a CRM system that integrates with other systems for comprehensive sales management.

Sales Cloud has positively impacted lead generation and conversion rates. It enhances lead generation efficiency and tracks lead from various sources and campaigns effectively, ensuring a high level of reliability in lead acquisition and conversion.

The features of Sales Cloud most useful for testing and running email campaigns are highly valuable. The CRM system is excellent for managing campaigns effectively. I also find Salesforce security authentication very good.

Sales Cloud could improve in areas such as AI integration, particularly for templates.

I would rate the stability of Sales Cloud as a six out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Sales Cloud as a five out of ten. My clients who use it are mostly enterprise businesses.

I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a ten out of ten. It is very easy. The implementation of Sales Cloud took approximately four months.

Salesforce is good value for money, but compared to the market, it is relatively high-priced.

The AI functionality built into Salesforce is good. It was not available when I first started using Salesforce.

Using the Sales mobile app has many benefits. I have used it, and it is great for accessing Salesforce on the go.

Integrating Sales Cloud with other Salesforce products or third-party applications has been good.

I would recommend Salesforce to others, especially for its effectiveness as a CRM system. It stands out compared to other software, particularly in India.

Overall, I would rate Salesforce Sales Cloud as an eight out of ten.

I last used it to trace a commercial opportunity. I use it since I am notified about commercial opportunities. Our main use case is tracking. 

The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are the ability to track portfolio opportunities and reporting capabilities. The notification process inside the platform is also very valuable, and extracting reports is extremely useful. However, we are currently using only a small part of its functionality.

At the moment, Salesforce Sales Cloud is mainly used by key account managers and the commercial team. We are also looking to extend its use and functionality to the presale team.

As a presale team leader, I see a need to better understand the platform because our current knowledge is limited. This makes it difficult to explore possible extensions of its use. We also want more detailed information on commercial opportunities included in the tool. It needs to include better documentation on the functions it offers. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

The tool's stability is very good, and I rate it a ten out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. We use it two to three times a month. My company has around 100 users, and my team has 12 members. 

I haven't contacted the technical support team for the solution yet. 

Currently, there is no impact on the duration of our sales cycle. We are asking more in-depth questions about the platform because, so far, there is no clear benefit. We are still looking internally to understand how to use it more profitably. I'm not involved in the investment itself. I'm just the final user, so it's something that other sales teams in the company evaluate.

We update all our software to the latest versions as an internal policy. Salesforce Sales Cloud is the standard tool in our company. It is integrated with other application platforms developed in the company, which are proprietary software. The integration was difficult, but I don't have direct experience with that process.

My advice to people looking to implement the tool is that they should understand the organization in which the solution will be applied, including the business processes. A certain degree of customization is needed when applying the platform to the real context. Good advice would be to analyse the needs deeply before implementation.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. I think it's a good platform. It's versatile and can be applied in many different contexts so that it can be recommended.

It's for managing the sales cycle.

When it comes to the lead management process, we track and evaluate the different stages and the challenges in each stage. It's so that the entire team has visibility of what's going on with each individual lead.

It has significantly impacted the sales cycle because we are able to get more precise updates, report back to our senior execs using the Salesforce stats, and make database judgments. So, it has shortened the sales cycle.

I like that I can customize the sales process to a particular team so that, based on whatever framework I use, I can significantly adapt sales. That's the security of the system.

It might be easier if there were better integration with other sales systems or clouds that are not powered by Salesforce. For example, when we work with partners, such as Amazon or any other major tech company, sometimes we collaborate to develop a sales lead. 

We use integrations between Salesforce instances so the partner can add opportunities to our account and vice versa.

The integration between systems used by different partners is very hard. So, that's something that can definitely be improved.

There are features I would like to see in future releases. It could give recommendations on what could be a possible next step and highlight important points; that's where AI would come in. If it sees patterns in sales and Sales Cloud could evaluate it and showcase to us how that sales cycle could be shortened – that would be a great feature.

I have been using it for five years now. 

The solution is fairly stable. I have not faced any issues. 

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

The solution adapts to our use cases. It's highly customizable, but you just need to know how to customize it.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a six out of ten, with one being easy and ten being difficult. 

It's just a matter of enablement. Sometimes, when it comes to inputting data, it has to be in certain formats, and it doesn't work properly. When you convert it to a report, it doesn't display the report correctly, so you need to know exactly how it needs to be tailored.

Our IT team deployed it.

I would recommend having a good Salesforce administrator. Other than that, it's pretty easy to use. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. I would recommend using it. 

We use the solution for CRM and to monitor customers, projects, and sales. We are using Salesforce Sales Cloud as a forecast platform. The solution forecasts the current data, current project stages, and the probability of it happening or not happening.

The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are increased productivity and business accuracy.

The solution's design could be improved.

I have been using Salesforce Sales Cloud for two years.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for stability.

Salesforce Sales Cloud is a scalable solution.

With Salesforce Sales Cloud, you have visibility and competency and see all the information you need from the sales side on one page.

We chose Salesforce Sales Cloud because we need everything in one place to have one forecasting platform, one sales platform, and one customer management platform. The solution's forecasting feature gives us visibility on one page to give us better guidance and understanding of what's going on and what could happen. Since the solution is an appliance, there's nothing to deploy.

I would recommend the solution to other users. From my perspective, it's a tool that should be used for every purpose because it could be scalable from a small number of users to huge ones. Usually, it's flexible enough to implement all the features that customers could need. Salesforce Sales Cloud is a native integrated solution.

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

Since Salesforce Sales Cloud is a CRM solution, we use it for keeping contact information, opportunity management, sales planning, and accounts planning. We also use the solution's AI functions.

The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are opportunity management and metric integration.

The solution's configuration could be improved because getting a purchase order and administrating the right fields can be a real headache for us, especially when the Sales Cloud system enters an error stage. We get explanatory errors, and there's no indication of how to solve those errors. For me, that's just incomprehensible.

The solution's mobile experience and opportunity management should be easier for auto-selecting things.

I have been using Salesforce Sales Cloud for nine months.

As far as I know, the solution experiences downtime only during planned maintenance. I've never experienced an unplanned outage, which is pretty good.

I rate Salesforce Sales Cloud a nine out of ten for stability.

The systematic integration in the opportunity section helps us streamline opportunity management. We used the solution in the first year for account planning and territory management, which was helpful.

I would recommend Salesforce Sales Cloud to other users. Users should be very careful about pulling everything, and they should keep it as simple as possible. If you're going to create something that will produce errors, then make sure that they explain how to fix it.

The solution's mobile experience for our sales team is not good. I rate the solution's mobile experience a two or three out of ten.

With Salesforce Sales Cloud, we have everything in one spot, and the solution's AI function really improves our experience.

Overall, I rate Salesforce Sales Cloud a seven out of ten.
