Useful for B2B retail operations and order management but UI is bland and old
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. It's quite basic and bland compared to today's modern web developments, which have enhanced user experiences. We're just providing support services to our customers, and they’ve been exploring a move to Oracle Commerce. However, there's some concern about Oracle Commerce's future, especially since support for version 11.3.2 is set to end in March 2025. We haven’t heard back from Oracle regarding any plans to extend support. We’re just keeping the lights on for now, but a transformation might be on the horizon. We have done some proof of concept with Oracle Commerce.

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 merchandising part is where the business user adds and configures permissions, which is quite important for us."
"The most valuable features are all the promotion capabilities and the tiered-pricing capabilities."
"The features that help us to change the product and pricing are good; they give us enough flexibility to manage this application."
"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."
"Oracle ATG Commerce is the leading enterprise eCommerce solution with around 50% of Fortune 100 companies using it."
"The product is really good. It is a robust tool that can scale up in any business, including some multi-million businesses."
"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 features that help us to change the product and pricing are good. They give us enough flexibility to manage this application."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is a stable 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."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are ease of use. It is very simple for the sales team to use. You can integrate it with a lot of other systems."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is very user-friendly, and simple to create dashboards and extract the reports, and it integrates well with other applications."
"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."
"Learning how to generate specialized reports, the more metrics and understanding of functionality, the better."
"The most valuable features are custom objects, custom workflows, triggering, and integration with other SaaS solutions."
"The tracking and monitoring of daily activities within each account is the most valuable aspect of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It allows for staying informed about ongoing activities, ensuring comprehensive visibility into the progress made within each account on a regular basis. Additionally, the plugins that are available, such as ZoolInfo are useful."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"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."
"Its licensing cost could be brought down."
"There should also be a mechanism for user surveys and product reviews."
"In order to scale, you need more hardware, so the product itself is not scalable."
"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."
"So far, with Oracle ATG, I haven't seen any good cloud-based solutions."
"It's a very broad tool."
"The main area that I feel could be improved is the performance of the Salesforce1 mobile application."
"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."
"One area where the solution could improve is with handling feature requests."
"There is TOO much functionality and it is far too complex."
"Compared to other CRM solutions, Salesforce is expensive. It is more affordable for enterprise users than for small businesses."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud needs a more user-friendly interface."
"The performance is sometimes slow. There is too much information and this makes it difficult to find the answers we are looking for."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle ATG is an expensive solution."
"The product's pricing is moderate. We use a license module."
"The tool's licensing is costly. Finding the right talent to manage it is also a challenge."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"It is alright for now because we ended up getting a discount off the base price. So, for now, it is okay. We may have to renegotiate when we get more users, and I don't know if the price would stay the same or increase. It has just a standard licensing fee. If you end up hiring a consultant for implementation, you will have to pay for the implementation. Other than that, there are no additional fees."
"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."
"I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"In terms of investment value and return of the investment, Salesforce right now is pretty good on the Western markets where the price of the employees is pretty high."
"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."
"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."
