"The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians.""It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up.""The interface is quite user-friendly.""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.""The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use.""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.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.""The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready."

More Salesforce Service Cloud Pros →

"It is an easy-to-use solution.""The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is its ease of use if you have implemented it in the right way. If you're not implementing it in the right way, then it's very difficult.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module.""This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI.""Change management is the most critical feature.""When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have.""The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports.""Its ITSM approach is quite useful."

More TOPdesk Pros →

Cons
"This solution would be easier to use if everything was displayed on one page, to avoid moving from one tab to another tab to add documents or add comments.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making the ports and dashboards more intuitive using Microsoft Azure analytical features. Compared to Salesforce and other partners, the dashboards in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are less intuitive.""It lacks to provide a more detailed profile of the customer, which would have been better and more useful.""Better integration would be an improvement.""We would like to see the tech support for this product improved, at present we are frequently waiting for a couple of days before we receive any response.""This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve the integration with the other system. If they have more flexibility to connect with another system it will be more effective.""I am happy with it. If anything, its interface could be improved."

More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Cons →

"The integrations with other solutions can be improved.""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.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""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.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved."

More Salesforce Service Cloud Cons →

"The solution's change management could be better.""This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package.""It is time-consuming to add new users.""One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information.""If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket.""All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes.""Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved.""An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
  • "It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
  • "I am not the person who pays for Microsoft Dynamics CRM but it is expensive. I have been using Microsoft Azure, which Microsoft Dynamics CRM is built on, and I know we prepaid for the services. For me as a consumer, I do not think I can afford it, mainly because I am only learning how to use the AI and the rate which they charge is high. In general, Microsoft solutions are expensive and this is most likely due to the brand, this is something you expect. However, the price might be high but you receive a highly secure solution."
  • "There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
  • "The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
  • "We have a three-year ELA with all our Microsoft solutions and often we had to do a true-up which was approximately $1,000,000. Additionally, we pay approximately $2,500 a month for support."
  • "Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
  • "The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
  • More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."

  • "The price is too expensive."
