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.

Field service has become more customer focused but asset-centric workflows still need improvement
Regarding the positive aspects of the product, the first advantage is that it is integrated with the CRM customer, making it highly customer-focused. I can easily connect with the customer, have agent AI to directly communicate with them, and customers can create a case without any intervention. Technicians can reach out to customers, making communication seamless. The knowledge base in the product definitely helps resolve customer issues. I use the knowledge base mainly for the technicians; they get the details, pre-work brief, and information on probable cases based on what the customer reports, including what parts they need to carry. Omni-channel support definitely improves customer engagement, but it has been available for a long time, so it is nothing new currently.

"There's an issue where creating a repetitive appointment creates two appointments on the first occurrence."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Customer Service: 3/10 Technical Support: 3/10"

"I guess it loses a point because the demos we see on world tours have a lot of customization in them and are not at all out-of-the-box."
"They need to improve the email integration with Outlook. At the moment the plugin is very unstable, and crashes from time to time."
"It also needs a faster and smoother UI."

"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."
