A rigid product that is hard to customize, has no mobile app, and is rarely updated by the vendor
There is no mobile application. The product is unmoving, as there is no obvious development or enhancements being made. When we are trying to compete in a market we need an updated product. The product is not easily customizable and we have to depend on the reseller for that. It's a rigid product. There are no reports available.

Uses data-driven insights to improve workflows and highlights a need for simpler automation tools
Salesforce Sales Cloud can be improved in several areas. First, the UI is an area for enhancement. Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds. It also needs to be made extremely more user-friendly. For new people using Salesforce Sales Cloud, there is a steep learning curve. Additionally, giving non-admins the ability to make changes on the fly is something that I feel is necessary. Currently with Salesforce Sales Cloud, you need to have a consultant. It's hard to build the flows or workflows. Making it easier for that end-user who's not so technically minded to help themselves is essential. I choose seven out of ten because I think you need a consultant or a consulting company to help you build it out. Certain changes should be made much easier and more user-friendly where an admin can do it. The automation processes need to be much simpler. If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability-wise, it is working fine with no technical faults."
"Salesforce's user interface is easy to use, and the reporting is good."
"I haven't had any stability issues, and Sales Cloud seems to be highly stable."
"The user interface is pretty simple."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the custom codes."
"The reporting is easy and helpful."
"Our year on year growth would have never been possible without Salesforce."
"Salesforce is way better in terms of user experience; working in the system, it's much more intuitive, more user-oriented, and user-friendly than the other systems I had in my previous experience."
"Salesforce's user interface is easy to use, and the reporting is good. It worked well with Excel, so I was okay with it. I don't know about integration with any other software because I didn't have to deal with them."
 

Cons

"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"There are no reports available."
"The solution's configuration could be improved because getting a purchase order and administrating the right fields can be a real headache for us, especially when the Sales Cloud system enters an error stage."
"The monitoring is very good, but it could be better."
"Reporting can become slow to pull once you reach a certain limit of contact records due to the complexity and volume of the data available."
"I think the user experience could be improved. I would like the user interface to be a bit more user-friendly and modern."
"There are data limitations on the platform – in terms of how much data you can store on the platform without having to purchase more."
"Become VERY expensive as you grow. Endless number of limitation force license upgrade to Enterprise and then to Unlimited, and to double the price per user."
"Improvement, in my opinion, would be to include AI functionality in a simpler way; right now, it's not easy; it's cumbersome and requires some back and forth with different functionalities in the system, and it's a very complex integration."
"My age-old complaint with Salesforce Sales Cloud is that it has to be refreshed because it's a cloud-based system. If you make any updates, you have to refresh and save because you're fundamentally looking at what's running in the cloud. It can be slow since you constantly refresh and save the screen. If you were running a local application, like a local CRM system, as you input anything, it would be more seamless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"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."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"Its license is expensive. It is probably a lot more than smaller solutions. It is around £500 a month, but I don't know how many licenses we have."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
"Price-wise, the product does not fall under the category of cheaply priced products."
"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."
