Featured Reviews

Pranay Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior software engineer at Simplifyvms
Automation has reduced repetitive hiring queries and improves candidate support efficiency
Training and refining the intent recognition on Accenture Conversational AI has not been straightforward, as we needed extensive data for training the AI chatbot and faced a learning curve in managing diverse candidate queries during the implementation process. Initially, the training was moderately easy thanks to the structured intent and entity setup, and we created various training phrases such as check status and application status. Accenture Conversational AI can be improved due to the initial learning curve for training data, as it sometimes misclassified user queries, especially with varied phrasing, prompting a need to enhance intent recognition accuracy. We diversified training phrases for each intent, improved accuracy through NLU training, and minimized fallback rate for user queries, along with enhancing context handling for better continuity in conversations. On the user experience front, there should be clear, human-readable responses and a user-friendly conversational design to avoid confusion, especially with long and unclear responses that are not beneficial for user interactions.

Uses data-driven insights to improve workflows and highlights a need for simpler automation tools
Salesforce Sales Cloud can be improved in several areas. First, the UI is an area for enhancement. Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds. It also needs to be made extremely more user-friendly. For new people using Salesforce Sales Cloud, there is a steep learning curve. Additionally, giving non-admins the ability to make changes on the fly is something that I feel is necessary. Currently with Salesforce Sales Cloud, you need to have a consultant. It's hard to build the flows or workflows. Making it easier for that end-user who's not so technically minded to help themselves is essential. I choose seven out of ten because I think you need a consultant or a consulting company to help you build it out. Certain changes should be made much easier and more user-friendly where an admin can do it. The automation processes need to be much simpler. If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"From a business perspective, Accenture Conversational AI significantly improved customer experience by providing instant responses."
"Accenture Conversational AI has positively impacted my organization, as I need to spend more time myself, since it is an automated OS and automated process orchestrator, we basically have to spend less time on our participant or teammate or yourself."
"Our NPS score actually improved by eight points by introducing this feature, Instill Chat, which is built on Accenture Conversational AI."
"The accuracy and reliability of output from Accenture Conversational AI have been very consistent, and I think it is one of its greatest strengths as we are able to get great data from it."
"Accenture Conversational AI has positively impacted our organization by assisting in advanced orchestration, as it seamlessly translates complex data into natural language patterns instead of rigid charts, helping us to break down complex data into useful units."
"Accenture Conversational AI helped with those repetitive queries between candidates and recruiters by allowing candidates to check application statuses through our application handle and conduct interview scheduling from the enterprise side."
"The CSAT score improved from 40% to almost 90%, and the average call handling time has been reduced so that customers save their time on more productive activities instead of just fetching reports from the old systems."
"It has touched every spectrum of our organization regardless of the roles the various department plays."
"The solution can scale massively. I've been quite impressed."
"The tool is very good in terms of stability, support, and features."
"So far, everything has been good."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Generally speaking, Salesforce is for tracking all the processes within the company."
"As a Software sales professional, Salesforce.com helps me greatly organize the multitude of complex sales cycles I manage on a daily basis."
"The scalability is good."
 

Cons

"They can improve on training and documentation so that new users can onboard easily; clear training and efficient skill acquisition will help them to navigate this platform quickly and effectively."
"We started using Accenture Conversational AI, and feature-wise, it is great, but the engineering side of this platform is really heavy, and the cost is very substantial."
"One area that could improve is ease of debugging complex conversation flows."
"Support is an important aspect here, especially in the African market, as Accenture is not directly present in Kenya, so sometimes online support does not work out because people need the physical presence, requiring a kind of physical touch."
"Training and refining the intent recognition on Accenture Conversational AI has not been straightforward, as we needed extensive data for training the AI chatbot and faced a learning curve in managing diverse candidate queries during the implementation process."
"The only thing that I have seen with Accenture Conversational AI is that for long-term operations, it becomes a little bit more expensive."
"My advice to others looking into using Accenture Conversational AI is do not use it."
"It needs improvement on integration with common apps, such as Outlook and iContact."
"The product lacks to offer some AI capabilities."
"I don't like the way parent-child relationships work in transactions between records in Salesforce Sales Cloud. NetSuite is a little bit more user-friendly in that sense. Salesforce Sales Cloud requires that you build everything from scratch. I don't like that. It leaves a lot of thinking and solutions to the consultants and the process is more prone to errors."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud could improve by allowing some customization of the processes with coding to avoid the problem of memory. When we use only flows in the process, which can become large flows, they are more complicated to debug and also for maintenance. It's better to invoke some Apex classes to make the process better."
"It's a very broad tool."
"With the solution being very vast, they need to prioritize features."
"Improvement, in my opinion, would be to include AI functionality in a simpler way; right now, it's not easy; it's cumbersome and requires some back and forth with different functionalities in the system, and it's a very complex integration."
"The built-in functionality is a little dated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have a yearly license, and there are no hidden costs. Considering the Indian market, the pricing is reasonable. I don't consider it to be on the high side."
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"I've seen the prices for Salesforce Sales Cloud, but I haven't been the one to handle the money. As someone who's only visually looked at the price, I would imagine it's on the pricier side, but they do have a ton of leverage, and seeing that everyone I've worked for has always been dedicated to continuing Salesforce. I've never worked for anyone who has threatened to leave. Everyone has accepted the pricing for what they offer."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
"Not the cheapest"
"Pricing is reasonable."
"I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
