We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks.""Technical support has always been very good.""The initial setup process is easy.""In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used."

"The solution scales extremely well.""It's scalable.""he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use.""The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions.""The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good.""Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics.""It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need.""We have found the scalability to be very good."

Cons
"The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it.""I would like to see all of the features included in a single package.""The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive.""The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners."

"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards.""They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now.""If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time.""The tool needs to simplify its features.""Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data.""When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance.""The product must be more transparent.""Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
