Pros and Cons
  • "The user experience in Salesforce is easy to use, and the backend is easy to understand, especially the data structure."
  • "The initial setup of Salesforce was quite challenging for us. It initially took less than a year to deploy Salesforce, but it stretched to two years because of timeline delays."

What is our primary use case?

I personally work with Celonis.

I work with Celonis on Azure.

Within our team, we use many tools integrated with Celonis, such as Snowflake, SAP, Salesforce, etc.

For SAP specific, we are only using SAP ECC, but we are in the process of migrating to S/4.

I have hands-on experience with Salesforce.

For Salesforce, we are using it for work orders and some service appointments.

I have been working with Salesforce for more than five years.

The way I use Salesforce mainly focuses on data analysis. I don't interact with customers or the team handling work orders; I am solely responsible for data analysis and specific data science tasks.

What is most valuable?

I appreciate the features of the Celonis solution, and I want to see improvements as well.

The user experience in Salesforce is easy to use, and the backend is easy to understand, especially the data structure.

The Salesforce integration with other tools, such as Celonis, is easy to set up and straightforward, allowing for smooth data extraction.

What needs improvement?

If there is anything I would improve about Salesforce, it would be customer service during the initial implementation, as our experience wasn't as smooth as hoped.

I can't think of any specific features missing from Salesforce that I would want to see included.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Salesforce for more than five years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

The initial setup of Salesforce was quite challenging for us.

We faced challenges with the initial deployment because some buttons are customized, and it's not intuitive for the users who are accustomed to the old processes, which makes adoption difficult.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Salesforce is scalable.

There are no problems with Salesforce's scalability.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate the customer service of Salesforce technical support as an eight.

How would you rate customer service and support?

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Salesforce was quite challenging for us.

It initially took less than a year to deploy Salesforce, but it stretched to two years because of timeline delays.

I wasn't involved in the evaluation process for Salesforce as the contract was already signed when I came in.

What was our ROI?

I don't know about any ROI or measurable benefits when it comes to costs.

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

I wasn't involved in the pricing, setup costs, or licensing costs for Salesforce.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I wasn't involved in the evaluation process for Salesforce as the contract was already signed when I came in.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Salesforce to larger companies with a huge customer base, but not to smaller companies with fewer customers.

We have thousands of users utilizing Salesforce.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Salesforce a nine.
