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

"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
"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."
"In my company, we have very manual backend disparate systems, but the good news is that through Salesforce—not only the Sales Cloud, but the Commerce Cloud—our customer-facing experience is best-in-class with this solution."
"We use Salesforce for every aspect of our business and it improves efficiency and gives us one source of truth when it comes to organizational information."
"I've found lead management to be the most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It helps capture, track, and manage leads throughout the sales process. The tool is easy to learn."
"Our use case within the organization covers the entire cycle from lead generation, demand planning, and opportunities to realization and closure. For our clients, Salesforce is used more to plot the cycle from products to cash and lead to revenue. They mostly build offers and pricing quotations in the Salesforce environment through their field marketing agents."
"The company wants to implement the idea of democracy within IT. As an end user, you can do a lot by yourself, so you do not have to write code. The idea is that they go for low-code and they use flow. It's possible to update records and do things like automation without writing real codes. I think this is one of the advantages of the solution."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is a CRM-based platform, it is used for customer relationship management, where we securely store customers' data, manage those customers' data, and easily connect with our customers in the best environment."
"There are many extremely useful features."
"Easy to understand and logical GUI."
 

Cons

"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
"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 product has a security flaw."
"No free SQL like Query Analytics tool (you are limitied to a certain amount of tables you can include in a query/report)"
"The solution can be difficult to understand for customers of Salesforce."
"The mobile application for Salesforce.com is somewhat lacking. I also at times am frustrated by the response time as I am logging activities in the system."
"If you don't have sysadmin rights, you can be hamstrung doing many things manually and one at a time."
"It is expensive."
"Salesforce is more expensive than other CRM services."
"As a presale team leader, I see a need to better understand the platform because our current knowledge is limited. This makes it difficult to explore possible extensions of its use. We also want more detailed information on commercial opportunities included in the tool. It needs to include better documentation on the functions it offers."
"There is TOO much functionality and it is far too complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-effective."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"Sales Cloud is expensive."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of users. It has a different pricing for 0-100 and another for 100-500 users."
"It's expensive, storage being the most costly aspect."
"The price of the product is very high. I rate the product price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means expensive."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
