More LiveAgent Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use.""The complexity of the solution is very less.""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.""The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready.""The strength lies in its ability to work cohesively with other systems, creating a centralized hub that enhances efficiency and collaboration across various functionalities within our organization.""Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features. It includes robust case routing, escalation capabilities, entitlement mapping, and entanglement rules. Additionally, it supports Computer Telephone Integration (CTI), which allows for automatic case generation when a call is made to a designated number.""It is a stable product.""The interface is quite user-friendly."

Cons
"Connection to other softwares could be improved.""There are other products that are more popular."

More LiveAgent Cons →

"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations.""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.""Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map.""One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved.""The documentation could be improved."
