Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 2, 2025

Salesforce Service Cloud and Opsgenie are contenders in the customer relationship management and IT service management automation categories, respectively. Salesforce Service Cloud seems to have the advantage in CRM features, while Opsgenie excels in alert management and integration capabilities.

Features: Salesforce Service Cloud provides a customizable CRM platform with automation tools, seamless integration capabilities, and a robust Service Console. It includes a Knowledge Base and customer community features. Opsgenie specializes in alert management, on-call rotation scheduling, and integrates well with monitoring tools, allowing for precise incident response and management.

Room for Improvement: Salesforce Service Cloud requires enhancements in mobile app stability, email integration, and reporting functionalities. Opsgenie could benefit from a more intuitive user interface, improved documentation, and smoother incident management features to enhance its service offering.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Salesforce Service Cloud supports public cloud and hybrid deployments, generally receiving positive feedback for customer service and technical support. Opsgenie offers flexible deployment options, including on-premises and private cloud, with support that is regarded as adequate but can improve response times and overall customer service experience. Both platforms have active user communities providing additional support.

Pricing and ROI: Salesforce Service Cloud is perceived as expensive, ideal for large enterprises with flexible pricing based on features and user count, offering significant ROI through enhanced productivity. Opsgenie offers more affordable, clear per-user pricing tiers, making it suitable for various business sizes, and it is cost-effective for alert management, though some view it as costly given its scope.

The price is competitive and it's easy to use and configure

We are using the cloud version of Atlassian products now, but I think the Data Center version we used earlier was much more user-friendly. There are lots of limitations in the cloud version The add-on or features that work with the Data Center versions are not compatible with the cloud version. Opsgenie fits on top of the base application, which is Jira Service Management. Jira Service Management is an investigation. Previously, we had Jira Service Management and PagerDuty running on top of that. Now, Opsgenie is bundled as a part of JSM. However, when we switched to the cloud version, many of the features have become a bit complicated compared to the Data Center version I had used for years. It might be due to an architectural change or some other reason: Also, it would be nice if Opsgenie had the ability to import rosters from other sources like you can do in PagerDuty.

Improved customer service and post-sales support saves time

The solution could be more affordable as it's quite expensive for some organizations, particularly middle-sized companies. Additionally, finding technical talent for improving the solution is challenging. Configuring Flows in Salesforce Service Cloud is very difficult. There are very few technical people in the market capable of implementing all the flows that clients need at this moment. It's primarily a matter of talent limitation, and flow is the technical mechanism of Salesforce Service Cloud for process automation. In general, while they have the knowledge and help solve problems, finding the right person to address specific issues is very challenging.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."

"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."

"The rotation and scheduling are beneficial."

"OpsGenie has many features, such as email notification, SMS notification, roster, tracking of the tickets. Automation, like scripting, is also possible. There are also features for maintaining the history of the tickets and all the solutions related to how it was resolved previously. If there are similar kinds of tickets, we can look at how a person is working on that ticket. If he doesn't have any idea, you can look back at a similar ticket and solve it as the previous person did it."

"One of the features my team found valuable in Opsgenie is the alert. There's also the option to install an app on your phone, so even if you don't have any mobile reception, but you're still connected to WiFi, you still get the alerts via the app, not just via phone call or SMS. The combination of both options was very useful because sometimes you have data and you don't have coverage by mobile, or vice versa. To have both options in terms of receiving alerts was very useful. Another valuable feature of Opsgenie is the on-call rotation with alerts. I belonged to a small team of three, then the team expanded into four members where everyone was on a weekly on-call basis, with each team member having a week of being on-call. At first, it was a bi-weekly on-call rotation, then it became once every three weeks, and after that, it was once every four weeks, so the on-call rotation with an alert feature was useful. My previous company had two separate environments, on the cloud and on-premises. My team was in charge of the on-premise environment, so there was a queue for my team with everything in Opsgenie, then the DevOps team had its queue on a group of infrastructure related to the cloud. Each team had its own devices organized in a group that was only managed per team. The on-call rotation was also separated between groups. Opsgenie is a very convenient solution for both teams in my previous company."

"That clarity, visibility, scheduling, and the management of on-call schedules, as well as tracking SLA breaches and workload, are key reasons to utilize Opsgenie."

"Opsgenie integrates with Atlassian and other web monitoring and incident management tools."

"This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."

More Opsgenie pros

"With Salesforce Service Cloud, customers can have end-to-end visibility from inquiry to delivery."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

"The interface is quite user-friendly."

"The main benefit of Salesforce Service Cloud is that everything is in the cloud. We can track the entire customer journey from lead to account or opportunity. The CRM is in the cloud, while the financial transactions are in NetSuite. By integrating these applications, we get a complete view of the business. Some integrations are event-driven, while others are batch integrations that run at scheduled times. We also build reports using our in-house analytics tool to help leadership make decisions."

"The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians."

"The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready."

"It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ."

"The instant input of feedback into the CRM systems by case management is one of the impactful features"

More Salesforce Service Cloud pros

Cons

"I would like to see a little bit more work in API key management in the Opsgenie UI. It's a bit difficult to manage sometimes. For example, in terms of management, you can either see all the keys or none of the keys. This is something for which I would like to have better granularity so that I could give some people access to some of the keys. It's something that I don't have today if I'm not mistaken."

"The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."

"They could introduce many more features."

"It should have a lot of plugins. It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now. It should have AWS, Azure, and Google cloud integrations. It should also provide automation, that is, it should open somewhere, like orchestration. Something like the orchestration that ServiceNow is doing. That would be great. Orchestration is the main thing. If OpsGenie comes with stack down feature, not completely but some part of it, and orchestration is there, that would be beneficial."

"The handshake with the monitoring tools can also be improved. When there were a bunch of alerts or the number of alerts was more than a thousand in a minute, OpsGenie wasn't able to handle everything properly. The handshake issues were there."

"We are using the cloud version of Atlassian products now, but I think the Data Center version we used earlier was much more user-friendly. There are lots of limitations in the cloud version The add-on or features that work with the Data Center versions are not compatible with the cloud version."

"I would like to see improvements in reporting capabilities that could provide additional value."

"The installation of other applications is difficult in Opsgenie. I would like to see more flexible reporting methodologies. Scalability and pricing also need to be improved."

More Opsgenie cons

"The pricing of Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive compared to other solutions like our current SAP CRM, which is much cheaper."

"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."

"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"Salesforce Service Cloud should work more on the resolution side. Once a case is raised and activities are tracked, at the time of closure, they could make it more simple."

"The solution could continue improving its artificial intelligence capabilities."

"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."

"Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map."

More Salesforce Service Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's prices are exorbitant."

"We have opted for a yearly subscription. The initial quote given was about $29, but I don't know the actual price. There might be some negotiations during renewal."

"In the company I'm working for, currently, we are using the standard edition of Opsgenie. We're paying around $3,000 a month. It's a bit expensive compared to the other tools we use for different purposes. We find it a bit expensive because although Opsgenie is a complete tool for monitoring, it does not provide us with everything."

"The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."

"I'm not the person who dealt with Opsgenie in terms of pricing, and I don't know how the solution compares to other solutions in the market, price-wise. I won't be able to say if it gives you the best value for money or not, but if Opsgenie gives good value for money, then I don't see a reason why you shouldn't use it."

"Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."

"The pricing is on the lower side; I would rate it a six out of ten, with ten being low price, which indicates good affordability."

"The pricing is fine. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with one being high price and ten being low price."

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."

"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."

"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"

"The tool is pretty 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 price is too expensive."

"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"

Service Cloud

Overview

Users are empowered to manage their contact details and notification preferences in a single location, hence the administrators don't have to maintain this information at each application. OpsGenie is a cloud based service with reliable, distributed architecture that is replicated in multiple data centers, and monitored around the clock. The lifecycle for each alert, notifications, actions taken by users, are recorded and reported to enable admins to easily analyze what happened. No more wasting time, digging up log files. No more finger pointing.

Most enterprises employ multitude of tools for IT management: for monitoring, ticketing, configuration and change management, etc. Although each of these tools may be individually capable of sending notifications via email or SMS, it is a burden for administrators to maintain the same information in each of these multiple, disparate systems.

OpsGenie enables organizations to consolidate notification management into a single management system. OpsGenie enables users to maintain their own contact details and preferences in one place, eliminating duplication of data, reducing administrative overhead.

Service Cloud is fully customizable support and help desk that provide faster, smarter service that will increase loyalty, retention, and satisfaction.
