Advanced forecasting and analysis capabilities
In terms of improvements, we can add new features that customers are demanding, such as service and quality improvements. For instance, we could have a model to predict the expected quality, which can be imported and developed as a new feature. We can improve quality features, and there is room for enhancement. Additionally, we can also improve service-related features by adding new functionalities. Each department has its workflow. But there is a hierarchy for pricing, and managers should be approached in such cases. So, there can be a more stabilized way of having a single point of contact to approach at any time. It is already there, but some more enhancements would be good. Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle. Some more workloads need to be done to integrate those tools, and we can have some enhancements on integration. ION is a very good tool, and we use web services already. The old system of using RESTful APIs has been eradicated, and the super approval trial is good. So, this tool is a refined way of working with services where it integrates any third-party tool. But, some of the older versions may need additional adjustments to integrate properly.

Helps business track their customers, sales leads, and opportunities
An area for improvement is the vendors' inability to understand the customers' requirements and communicate them to Oracle. When we started to implement the tool, and during the very initial phases of the product, when Oracle launched it, our company opted for it. We faced a few challenges related to the product speed associated with some functionalities that were not available when the tool was just launched, but later on, it became available, and right now, we are actually using it. The tool is fulfilling our requirements. There were no major hiccups or challenges due to the tool. The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future.

Infinitely customizable, good end-to-end sales and customer management processes but lacks good documentation
Essentially, it's the CRM solution for managing customers and leads. The features that had the most significant impact on our sales efficiency include flexibility, regular updates, and very good end-to-end sales and customer management processes. AI and machine learning are on the agenda for next year. Initially, it will be very silo-based, but eventually, we'll be integrating MIBI data into our solution. Sales Cloud's reporting and analytics capabilities influenced our sales strategy quite a lot. We can build every report as a dashboard, and there are various sorts of things. We are using Tableau as our MIBI analytic solution, which is also owned by Salesforce these days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."
"Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live."
"The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities."
"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."
"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically enrich deals by connecting to APIs. This allows me to gather additional information about companies, number of employees, and data from the previous year. Having this information helps me understand the size of the company better and tailor my proposals accordingly."
"We are most comfortable with the user interface that Oracle CRM has, it is very good."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"The reporting features are valuable."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."
"Suitable for all sizes of organizations."
"This is a stable product."
"The development cost, maintenance cost, everything will be drastically reduced - unlike traditional infrastructure where we maintain everything on our own."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are code hub management and sale opportunity management."
"The scalability is good."
"The tracking and monitoring of daily activities within each account is the most valuable aspect of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It allows for staying informed about ongoing activities, ensuring comprehensive visibility into the progress made within each account on a regular basis. Additionally, the plugins that are available, such as ZoolInfo are useful."
"I've found lead management to be the most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It helps capture, track, and manage leads throughout the sales process. The tool is easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud is for teams the ability to do marketing on our page and to manage their marketing leads. You are able to close a deal and do the renewal. For the life cycle management for customer management, we use Salesforce Sales Cloud. The performance of the solution is good."
 

Cons

"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"For the quality department, there is a module called quality, and I feel it has to be a little bit simplified."
"The price of the solution is not good. In Europe, it's difficult to find people who already know Infor, which was a problem during implementation."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do."
"Their support could be faster. Like any other solution provider, in some cases, it takes time to get their response, and sometimes, they do not fix the issue in the first round. Therefore, we have to go through another round."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"The product is complicated to use for new users."
"In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic."
"I would like to see the UI improved ."
"Improvements could be made in automating certain tasks, such as automatically notifying me via email when a customer has signed off on a proposal. Some of these features require payment, but including them in the basic package for smaller companies would be beneficial."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"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."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. Its reporting interface should be improved to personalize reports."
"It's a very broad tool."
"Sales Cloud could be improved with more training. In general, the training is very good, but you have to really seek out some good options in order to upskill yourself. Another thing, which could also be a benefit, is that Sales is very customizable. If you move from one organization to another, you can see your Salesforce as before, but their Sales Cloud may look completely different from what you're used to. It's not like Microsoft Excel or Trello, where the layout and all the functions are the same. Because it's so customizable, I feel like there is a bit of a learning curve when you inherit another Sales Cloud instance. To be honest, I think that's the beauty of Salesforce because you can customize it so much to fit your needs as a company. It follows your processes and use cases in order for you to get the most out of the system itself."
"The solution's design could be improved."
"It could have a more user-friendly interface."
"If they could have convenient APIs into the other parts of the corporation that I wish to share data with, that would be helpful."
"The licensing price could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"The solution is expensive."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The overall price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be better, it is more expensive than other competitors. There is an annual license for Salesforce Sales Cloud."
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
"Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
