Ontology design has streamlined product recommendations but still needs native data integration
metaphactory could be improved in terms of data integration. For now, you can design ontologies and taxonomies, but you cannot directly implement, natively, the integration of data associated with the different taxonomies, which makes the integration of mapping engines like R2RML very useful. It would be interesting if metaphactory could also integrate engines for creating inference rules, because the goal of knowledge graphs is to create inference rules, and managing inference rules as well would be interesting. Regarding metaphactory’s artificial intelligence capabilities, I would say that governance and data security is something that for me is not integrated. Overall, when I look at metaphactory, I don’t think of security; I think of integration, and while there is access management, security is something else. At the beginning, the AI features were really just tests, and the results, in terms of reliability and accuracy, were not really there yet, remaining quite tentative. Since then, I haven’t had the chance to test the AI side further. I do not have any other improvements to suggest.

Omni-channel routing has transformed case handling and now supports complex field operations
From my experience, we might need queue-based alignment in Omni-Channel routing. Assignment rules should be defined at the flow level. The challenge with SLA creation is evident in escalation rules, which should include a field flagging feature that is lacking in the current setup. Einstein Bot, linked with Omni-Channel messaging, is complex to define, with a need for all related information in one place, making the process cumbersome. Understanding which bot is associated with specific messaging apps requires manual searching, and this can be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"metaphactory is a central tool for implementing these data products. We're considering it for pharmaceutical modeling and connecting to graph databases. It's the only product our company uses with Graph DB."
"What I like most about metaphactory's ontology and taxonomy creation interface is the direct integration between several taxonomies in the same domain."
"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."
"There is an out-of-the-box feature for reporting and analytics"
"Salesforce is much more easily configured so it can change as your business processes change; it’s extremely scalable so it can grow as your business grows, and its API is extensive so you can integrate with back office systems in a relatively straightforward way."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the traceability of actions."
"There are several good features, but the most valuable to us are the integrated email, entitlements, and the overall powerfulness of the platform."
"If you can get customers to self-serve, this is invaluable and save your customers' time and your staff's time."
"Our users are satisfied with the product, and they spend less time on this tool, but create more opportunity and other data."
"The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready."
 

Cons

"At the beginning, the AI features were really just tests, and the results, in terms of reliability and accuracy, were not really there yet, remaining quite tentative."
"For improvements, I'd like to see more maturity in the product, especially regarding enterprise vendor lock-in. The whole area isn't mature enough yet. I think it will develop over time. More competitors are coming up now. I'd like to see better integration with specific vendors who specialize in managing data products. We need more standards beyond the W3C standards from the semantic web that have been around for twenty-five years."
"I guess it loses a point because the demos we see on world tours have a lot of customization in them and are not at all out-of-the-box."
"We're seeing a lot of automation and AI enhancements for improvements. This helps answer simple questions without manual intervention, saving time. We can improve by automating more of our solution-building process. Salesforce Service Cloud is a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. It's constantly evolving, and we're always looking for ways to improve our use. The cloud services we use include CRM (Salesforce), financial (NetSuite), and people (Workday). These services are becoming more automated, with a lot happening in the AI space. We do a lot of modeling ourselves to find answers to questions, and our product team has introduced some AI enhancements."
"There are some issues with backend connectivity in Salesforce Service Cloud."
"Reporting could be improved."
"While there is extensive reporting in the system, there is not always a direct route to get what you are looking for."
"The treatment of email processing in the Service Cloud is still reminiscent of email processes appropriate to sales."
"They need to improve the email integration with Outlook. At the moment the plugin is very unstable, and crashes from time to time."
"While Salesforce Service Cloud is more customer-focused, I believe a little more focus on assets is necessary."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"The price is too expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive. I worked with ExactTarget over five years ago, and it was quite pricey then. Not everyone could afford it. Salesforce has different tiers for different kinds of users. It's expensive considering their features and services, but they offer best-in-class solutions."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
