Salesforce Data Cloud Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Unified customer insights have reduced redundant communications and improved campaign targeting
Every function in Data Cloud has its unique purpose, but Calculated Insight is one of the strongest functions that I believe is very useful. I can accomplish everything, including customization, using Calculated Insight. If a client uses Data Cloud, they can save time and most importantly, they can save budget because I generate the target audience for marketing campaigns using unification. Redundant email or communication never happens due to the unified profiles, which helps businesses save their marketing budget and indirectly increase revenue. That is one of the most important benefits. Technically, there are many benefits, but in terms of business revenue, that is the most crucial part.

Effective project tracking enhances decision-making but requires improved subtask hierarchy
I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com. It was a significant challenge as I often wanted to make a task dependent on another group, but it was difficult. It would be more efficient if it were easier to establish dependencies across different groups.
