PravinNagawade - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Unified customer service has provided real-time insights and supports flexible, intuitive workflows
We have a customer service application for customer service in a smaller group, and for most purposes, we use the direct platform. It is a unified channel that depends upon the business. We do not use all channels, but we leverage them wherever they are applicable. The interface is intuitive and depends upon the business. Whenever there is a request for information, we come up with a design and then provide the opportunity to see if it is usable or if they would prefer it in another fashion. Out of the box, it is acceptable. It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side. Although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information. Real-time information is available. It includes both a dashboard and the customer service front desk UI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my opinion, some of the most valuable features of Salesforce are the integrations it has with our internal systems, with sales planning probably being second, and then third is contact information."
"We never had a problem with stability."
"I rate my experience with Data Cloud a nine out of ten."
"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."
"Overall, Data Cloud is a powerful product for unifying real-time customer data and enabling personalized activation."
"Because in many cases, we knew what was going to happen before it happened or before the opportunities arose, it allowed us to get a jump on sales and then a jump on delivery, so it allowed us to scale."
"The product is scalable. It works efficiently for changing existing features."
"Pega Customer Service is scalable."
"It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side, and although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information with real-time information available."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is case management and different configurations."
"The technical support provided for all the solutions from Pega is of the same quality since they have their own internal teams and the same mechanisms, which are good for dealing with issues of different users."
 

Cons

"Most of the time, I believe that not all SQL functions are working in Calculated Insights or in Query Builder."
"In my opinion, areas that can still improve Data Cloud include the speed of the user interface, which is somewhat a problem, and reporting, as creating reports could be a bit easier."
"It is a very good product, but it is very complex to implement, change, develop, and integrate."
"Data Cloud is an overall average product."
"Customizability is both an advantage and a disadvantage. While it provides a suitable solution with many pieces to integrate, it also adds complexity."
"There was excessive difficulty to customize for our business processes, so you either change to how they have it set up or you spend money getting someone to fix it."
"Integrating with non-Pega systems (e.g., legacy CRMs, third-party APIs) can require significant effort and custom development."
"Pega JVM function needs to be improved."
"Improvements are always required, but at this moment, the UI is the key area that is not flexible enough for us."
"The only concern I have seen about the product is its prices."
"The licensing cost could also be improved."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
