Integrates with different scanners and helps to scan customer documents
One drawback is that the tool could be more agile in adding new features. Since the product is very big, new features aren't added continuously. However, it already meets most of our requirements for day-to-day use. A feature that could be improved is the ease of integrating various systems. We currently use it as a standalone solution and integrate it with other systems. A better way to integrate with newer systems, especially mobile apps, could exist. I think the compression technology could be improved even more, and it would be helpful if the software could integrate directly with certain applications.
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

"Oracle ATG Commerce is the leading enterprise eCommerce solution with around 50% of Fortune 100 companies using it."
"The features that help us to change the product and pricing are good; they give us enough flexibility to manage this application."
"The most valuable features are all the promotion capabilities and the tiered-pricing capabilities."
"The merchandising part is where the business user adds and configures permissions, which is quite important for us."
"The features that help us to change the product and pricing are good. They give us enough flexibility to manage this application."
"The tool's most valuable features are its integration with various scanners, OCR capability, and ability to populate the system with a lot of information. We use the workload automation feature occasionally."
"The best thing with Oracle Commerce is the personalization engine, and then the integration with one of the best search engines, which is Endeca."
"The tool is useful for B2B retail operations. The e-commerce platform is helpful for our customers when searching for products they want to buy. They can look up items using part numbers or product descriptions, which helps them find exactly what they want. We rely on the search functionality a lot."
"This solution offers a good user experience; it is easy to learn and use, even for those who are using it for the first time."
"On the high level, it's all about managing the clients, managing the opportunities around those clients, managing the tasks, calls, activities, all those things."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud is for teams the ability to do marketing on our page and to manage their marketing leads. You are able to close a deal and do the renewal. For the life cycle management for customer management, we use Salesforce Sales Cloud. The performance of the solution is good."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is used for selling, tracking leads, verifying customer information, scheduling appointments, visiting customers, and costing leads."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is very stable."
"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."
"I can see activity per customer. I can find out quickly and easily who was the last person I talked to, when it was, and what we were talking about."
"From a personal perspective, one of the key things Salesforce.com provides us is insight into our business that would be difficult to achieve otherwise."
 

Cons

"Its licensing cost could be brought down."
"Our impressions from testing out ATG is that it requires a lot of customization and professional services, which is not what we were looking for."
"The only issue with the tool is that it is not cloud-based."
"In order to scale, you need more hardware, so the product itself is not scalable."
"There should also be a mechanism for user surveys and product reviews."
"There should be some sort of native integration. All the integrations that we build are completely customized. There should also be a mechanism for user surveys and product reviews. As of now, I don't see any feature related to these. It must have a provision for doing customer surveys and allowing customers to give product feedback. If I have a customer who purchased something on the website, there has to be a mechanism for a company to capture the feedback. This feature is currently not there. Similarly, if a customer wants to do a review of the product, there is no native feature for that."
"The UI might not be the fanciest, and since it's an older system, our customers are sometimes hesitant to invest in it. They're even considering moving to new e-commerce solutions, maybe even something custom-built in-house."
"One drawback is that the tool could be more agile in adding new features. Since the product is very big, new features aren't added continuously. However, it already meets most of our requirements for day-to-day use."
"The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful."
"Salesforce has a built-in functionality called changesets to move functionality from the sandbox and into production. That's a little dated now, and it's not very good for version control or backups."
"The solution's customer support is not so good."
"Reporting is still not as strong as it should be."
"Compared to other CRM solutions, Salesforce is expensive. It is more affordable for enterprise users than for small businesses."
"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."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is not as simple to use as Zoho. It requires some level of expertise before you can use it."
"The developer console might be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing is costly. Finding the right talent to manage it is also a challenge."
"Oracle ATG is an expensive solution."
"The product's pricing is moderate. We use a license module."
"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."
"We must pay for the licenses."
"Sales Cloud is expensive."
"Not the cheapest"
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
"I've seen the prices for Salesforce Sales Cloud, but I haven't been the one to handle the money. As someone who's only visually looked at the price, I would imagine it's on the pricier side, but they do have a ton of leverage, and seeing that everyone I've worked for has always been dedicated to continuing Salesforce. I've never worked for anyone who has threatened to leave. Everyone has accepted the pricing for what they offer."
"You need to pay for the license per user per month. For example, you need to pay $100 per user. If you have 200 users using your Salesforce, that would be multiplied by a hundred, that's $20,000 per month and a quarter million per year."
