Helps to handle customer questions and issues through email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is a great product. It's hosted on a platform that offers various features, such as email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots. You can connect with customers through any of these channels."
  • "We've started using a couple of AI engines. I believe there's room for improvement there. For instance, when an agent receives a message like "My order is stuck midway, and the delivery guy isn't responding," there should be a pre-populated recommended response on the agent's screen. Instead of crafting a custom reply or searching through knowledge articles to find the delivery guy's contact, this should be the process."

What is our primary use case?

We use Salesforce Service Cloud for customer service at an American apparel brand. It helps us handle customer questions and issues. Customers can contact us through chatbots or phone for order status or cancellations. If the issue is complicated, our agents step in to help.

What is most valuable?

The solution is a great product. It's hosted on a platform that offers various features, such as email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots. You can connect with customers through any of these channels. 

Salesforce Service Cloud constantly evolves with quarterly releases that address feedback and introduce improvements. Updates are regularly published publicly to keep users informed about the enhancements. This continuous improvement cycle ensures that the product stays updated and resolves ongoing issues, improving it with each iteration.

What needs improvement?

We've started using a couple of AI engines. I believe there's room for improvement there. For instance, when an agent receives a message like "My order is stuck midway, and the delivery guy isn't responding," there should be a pre-populated recommended response on the agent's screen.

The solution's omnichannel routing feature is difficult and tricky to manage.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for three years. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

My company has more than five customers. 

How was the initial setup?

The ease of setting up and deploying Salesforce Service Cloud depends on the features you're utilizing. If you're focusing on basic functionalities like case creation and case lifecycle management, it's relatively straightforward. However, complexity increases as you delve into additional features like omnichannel, managing multiple agents, using multiple territories, etc. The more you add, the more intricate it becomes.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user. 

What other advice do I have?

Whether you should use Salesforce Service Cloud depends on various factors. Before diving in, it's crucial to analyze the product's cost, feasibility, and fit with your current setup.

Salesforce Service Cloud has significantly improved the customer service workflow over time. Initially, there were limited channels like emails, but as customer needs evolved, more channels were introduced, along with numerous functionality improvements.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten. It is one of Salesforce's best products.
