Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product
Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.

Leverage top-tier automation capabilities while streamlining complex naming conventions
Salesforce Service Cloud offers pre-built packages that are best in class. The automation capabilities have evolved over time, consolidating previous features into Salesforce flows. However, these work best when everything is within Salesforce Service Cloud and everyone has a license. Without an enterprise MuleSoft license, external interactions complicate automation significantly.

Pros

"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"We are very happy with the support team from Salesforce."
"With Salesforce Service Cloud, customers can have end-to-end visibility from inquiry to delivery."
"There is an out-of-the-box feature for reporting and analytics"
"The interface is quite user-friendly."
"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."
"I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details."
"Nobody can compete with Salesforce Service Cloud's scalability."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a user-friendly and flexible CRM tool that provides good accessibility and security."
 

Cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited."
"Knowledge Management platform could use some intelligence improvements. Data mining techniques for recommending the most relevant knowledge articles would be beneficial. Currently, that selection process is more administrative. AI could be used here."
"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."
"It is kind of a struggle to get a report that shows something you want it to show."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"There are some issues with backend connectivity in Salesforce Service Cloud."

"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"

"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
