Salesforce Sales Cloud Reviews

We use Salesforce Sales Cloud for management assistance and for CRM.

Salesforce Sales Cloud is not as simple to use as Zoho. It requires some level of expertise before you can use it. However, you can easily learn how to use the solution as you go along.

I have been using Salesforce Sales Cloud for a few years.

I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be stable.

Salesforce Sales Cloud is scalable.

We have approximately 75 users using this solution.

I have not contacted technical support.

I preferred using Zoho rather than Salesforce Sales Cloud. We switch to Zoho because the price of Salesforce Sales Cloud was expensive.

The initial setup of Salesforce Sales Cloud is simple and took approximately one hour, but not as simple as Zoho.

The overall price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be better, it is more expensive than other competitors. There is an annual license for Salesforce Sales Cloud.

I would recommend the solution to others.

I rate Salesforce Sales Cloud a seven out of ten.

My primary use of Sales Cloud is for reporting and ticketing - whenever a customer sends an issue by email, the ticket is created based on the email itself. We also use the Einstein Analytics feature to see how many deals are open or closed and the status of each customer's tickets.

The most valuable features are the reporting and the custom codes.

Sometimes they refresh the production environment, which can be a bit of a challenge. 

I've been using Sales Cloud for seven years or so.

Sales Cloud is a stable solution.

Sales Cloud is scalable.

The technical support team is very cooperative, and I'm satisfied with their service.

The setup is very straightforward because it's a cloud-based product, so all you need is your ID and to register it

Sales Cloud is quite expensive.

I would rate this solution as ten out of ten.

It is for normal CRM usage. We are using it to manage our contacts and customer-related information.

It is a very good tool. There are a lot of interesting features. It is one of the best solutions.

It could have a more user-friendly interface.

I have been using this solution for around one year.

It is very stable.

It is very scalable, and it is very easy to add new users. 

We have 200 to 300 users of this solution. We will expand its usage depending on our needs. If needed, we'll extend the number of users.

Our administration team handles that. I never needed support from them.

It was a company decision. We are a part of a bigger group, and in that group, we had Salesforce. It was also easy to deploy because we had a Salesforce specialist.

I'm not an admin of this tool, so I don't know about its setup. In terms of its maintenance, it is provided as a SaaS service. Its maintenance is not our business. It is provided by Salesforce.

I would definitely recommend this solution. Salesforce is very good. I would rate it a nine out of 10.

It is used almost entirely by the organization to connect with clients and patients.

The performance is good. I am satisfied with the performance of this solution.

The most valuable features are performance and integration.

There are always issues that must be addressed. And, in the end, I believe we have the support of these organizations, and we are working toward solutions.

I would like to see licensing fees reduced in the next release.

We are based on Salesforce. I believe they've been using it for a long time before my tenure. We are still using Salesforce Sales Cloud.

We are using the most recent version.

Salesforce Sales Cloud is a stable solution.

Salesforce Sales Cloud's scalability is good.

There are several beta programs that are also run with us and for which we receive support. It is not only because of product upgrades but also because of beta programs.

There were native developments available, but as part of corporate policy, we chose Salesforce.

The initial setup is easy. It's far easier in the present times.

The client is virtually very easy. At the moment, I believe everyone works from home, and it has taken us an unimaginable, very short time. It was up and running and continues to do so.

The installation was done by the individuals themselves.

We must pay for the licenses. Then it comes from the internal budgets.

It should be cheaper.

It is very good, and I would recommend it to others who are considering using it.

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

I mainly use this solution for optimizing sales and sales teams. 

An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration.

I've been working with Sales Cloud for eight years. 

Sales Cloud is very stable and simple and has most of the functionality people want in sales.

Sales Cloud is scalable.

Salesforce's technical support could be improved.

The initial setup can be very simple or very complex, depending on the business.

Sales Cloud is expensive.

I would recommend Sales Cloud for anyone who has a sales team that needs to be optimized and for any size of enterprise. I'd rate it as eight out of ten.

It is a one-stop shop for running anything related to sales. You can do a lot of things.

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.

I have been using this solution for about four or five years.

It is highly scalable. We have at least 500 users. About 70% to 80% of the company is using this solution.

I haven't interacted with them. It is usually handled internally.

I haven't used any other solution.

I wasn't involved with its implementation, but it is complex, and it has to be. I can't fault it.

Salesforce is often recommended in order to scale, but it makes more sense to use Salesforce once you have scaled. There are smaller and simpler solutions, and if you don't need the complexity of Salesforce, it doesn't make sense to use it.

I would rate it a seven out of 10. I am generally satisfied with it.

Generally speaking, Salesforce is for tracking all the processes within the company. We use Salesforce to keep track of candidates and provide an overview of what's happening in the company. It can also tell you what your colleagues are doing. 

Salesforce helps up keep track of candidates.

I think the user experience could be improved. I would like the user interface to be a bit more user-friendly and modern. 

We've been using Salesforce for about five months. 

Yeah

I think Salesforce is scalable. We have almost 2,000 users. 

I would rate Salesforce Cloud six out of 10. I'm not sure if I would recommend it. I guess it depends on what you're using it to do. I don't know if it's the best, actually. Maybe I would say no. It's like asking me, "Would you recommend a bike?" If it's a flat street, yes. 

My primary use case is for business opportunities, following sales and pre-sales actions, and contacting customers.

In the next release, I would like to see more integration.

I have been using this solution for two years.

This is a stable product.

I have previously used Sugar Enterprise and Hubspot CRM.

This product isn't the cheapest.

I would recommend comparing this product with others before implementing it, as it's not the cheapest, and you may not use all of its functions. I would rate this solution as eight out of ten.

My main use case for this solution is for the sales and marketing team to gather leads and convert them to accounts. Using Salesforce, they gather information and log calls, texts, and meetings. We also use Salesforce to set up price books.

Salesforce has been very useful during the COVID-19 pandemic, as its database contains all our customer history, so we were able to maintain our customer relationships.

The most valuable feature Sales Cloud provides is that it allows teams to convert leads to opportunities and accounts. We can use its forecasting feature to tell us the expected sales volume and its target feature to see how the pipeline is forecasting. The dashboard also allows managers to monitor their teams' performance.

An area for improvement would be to open the door for other partners to develop interfaces for software integration. In addition, the amount of storage provided is limited, so the product is less cost-effective when working with larger amounts of data.

This solution is very easy to scale, thanks to the processes builder and the automation process builder. We can scale and customize the solution as we want, according to the business.

I'm very satisfied with the technical support.

The initial setup was fairly complex as there is a full cycle of operations to consider when deploying.

I implemented through an in-house team.

There are a variety of licenses available depending on the customer's needs. Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs.

Salesforce is very flexible and provides developmental tools in case you have special requirements. I think this is a very, very good product that can help many organizations to achieve success, and that is suitable for all sizes of organizations. I would recommend not going with every feature, as this is a wide and flexible product, so get to know the product before implementing it. I would rate this solution as ten out of ten.

I am a consultant and deliver the build for Salesforce to our customers. The company has a partnership with Salesforce and I'm the director. 

There are many benefits to Salesforce. It allows companies to know who their customers are, how much they spend, then relate that to earlier purchases so that a company can focus their efforts where necessary. You can also determine how sales staff are working against their targets and whether they need assistance.

I think Salesforce as a whole is all about understanding your customers and the pipeline with customers. Through an account, you can capture all the contacts that relate to that account or business, including personal details. It's highly configurable so you can completely adjust it to whatever business requirements you have. Once you've understood who your customers are, you can decide what you might want to sell them. It can all be captured and put into reporting. As a result, you can forecast against the reporting and figure out where you want to go on quotas for your sales team. You can also see how long it might take for a sale to go through and whether any sales opportunities get stuck.

You can track any issues with Sales Cloud functionality once a customer purchases by capturing your phone calls and storing them in Salesforce, along with any emails. Everything can be stored and tracked. The company brings out new features three times a year. I haven't used all the features because there are so many of them and the solution is now very large. They've changed their custom UI and it's now more configurable so that you can change it to suit your needs. I might only want to see certain fields at certain times throughout my journey and it can do that. There's a ton of functionality that I haven't even started to really explore.

Salesforce has a built-in functionality called changesets to move functionality from the sandbox and into production. That's a little dated now, and it's not very good for version control or backups. There are third party apps that can provide a slicker service to manage version control and deployments between environments.

I've been using Salesforce since 2007. 

The solution is highly stable and they have serious backups. If there are any glitches you can go to their site, trust.salesforce.com, and check on any problems. In terms of maintenance, once you've implemented it, it's important to get a team onboard internally to maintain things; users come and go so you're constantly canceling or adding users. Some will need help with reporting and once they understand the benefits and power, they'll want more teams to use it which will require more functionality. Our customers are always wanting to increase use. Salesforce is in major demand and most clients have continuous new project ideas and as a result, an expanded functionality. 

The solution is easy to scale and our customers range from small to enterprise size organizations. 

We sometimes need to contact support and for most customers, it's beneficial for them to have premise support because you do get a quicker response for resolution. You do have to ring them sometimes in order to get features enabled but once you're part of a consulting firm, you rarely need to contact them because you can generally resolve the problems with internal expertise.

There's no simple answer regarding complexity of deployment. It actually depends on the size of your implementation. If you're on a huge project, deployment can take months, if not years. These days, Salesforce has better version control using external tools which speeds up the setup because you keep a version in control and you move it through the different processes in order to push it through. You can deploy something within an hour of building and testing, and capture all the requirements. It's highly configurable.

The minimum time for deployment is generally a couple of months but it is absolutely dependent on how much you want to tweak it and make it your own. It can be a very quick turnaround.

Every finance director I've spoken to will say that Salesforce is expensive and that's mainly because it is a per-user license. The more you use it, the more it will cost. There are licensing costs and implementation costs in configuring the system to your needs. It's expensive but also one of the largest business systems you'll have in your company because it'll integrate absolutely anything you need it to. It should be viewed as an investment.

The solution needs to be considered as a long-term investment, and I suggest engaging a partner to implement it. Salesforce will tell you it's possible to implement in-house, particularly for smaller organizations, but I would recommend a certified expert with experience and knowledge.

I rate this solution 10 out of 10.
