Esther Sultaana - PeerSpot reviewer
Storage Consultant Storage at Hewlett Packard Enterprise
A fast and reliable solution that reduces data storage costs
The product leverages flash storage and predictive analytics. It helps us to monitor the infrastructure and reduces data storage costs. It reduces risk against snapshots and has great performance and capacity. The tool can be useful for applications that need speed. It is a fast and reliable solution. It can work on various IT platforms and environments.
Jonny Katz - PeerSpot reviewer
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot
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

"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
"There is a ton of information on the dashboard. Reports are also there for us. We can analyze information across the team and across a period, such as quarterly or annually."
"Our productivity and capability to solve and anticipate problems in the Call Centre team increased at least 50%."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are increased productivity and business accuracy."
"The tool is very good in terms of stability, support, and features."
"Sales Cloud has accelerated the business process; it has helped generate more revenue and close deals faster."
"Quick go-to-market with a sales process Utilization of the "platform as a service" features of Salesforce Appexchange packages help to quickly hit requirements Robust feature set when considering all the Salesforce packages - Sales Cloud, communities, Service Cloud etc."
"In terms of the return on that investment, a non profit that uses the system well should be able to raise more money with the data and time savings provided."
"It does what it's supposed to do with relatively little intervention on my part where I don't have to completely think about everything every step of the way."
 

Cons

"The product has a security flaw."
"Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard."
"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
"There are things that could be improved with respect to file sharing. There is a limited file size."
"Salesforce is a powerful tool and you need specialists to create or to develop new functionalities. It is a difficult platform to learn to manage and you need years to know the whole product."
"Salesforce must build some connectors and features to make integrations easier."
"I would like if Sales Cloud had the flexibility to create or edit the forms used to submit requests. Right now, they're fixed, and users can't edit them. Only administrators have editing privileges, so it takes too long to make changes."
"Some areas of functionality from early versions of Salesforce are getting a little dated and in need of overhaul."
"Its license is expensive. It is probably a lot more than smaller solutions."
"The solution could improve the partner management and communities. For the enterprise licenses, we have the help, but it should also be extended with the features to the partner community."
"The solution's scalability has some limitations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"It's expensive, storage being the most costly aspect."
"We must pay for the licenses."
"Not the cheapest"
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"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."
"We have a yearly license, and there are no hidden costs. Considering the Indian market, the pricing is reasonable. I don't consider it to be on the high side."
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive. We pay monthly for the solution but we are billed quarterly."
"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."
