Sales Head - ICT Sector at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Workflow-driven processes enhance sales efficiency and analytical insights
Oracle CX Sales is workflow-driven, aligning with best practices in our sales process. The efficient workflow eliminates the need for multiple entries; data flows seamlessly from sales accounts to projects to quotes. The solution also offers robust analytical capabilities, enabling us to analyze reasons for wins or losses and strategically adjust our approach.
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.

Lead Solutions Architect at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Leverage top-tier automation capabilities while streamlining complex naming conventions
Salesforce Service Cloud offers pre-built packages that are best in class. The automation capabilities have evolved over time, consolidating previous features into Salesforce flows. However, these work best when everything is within Salesforce Service Cloud and everyone has a license. Without an enterprise MuleSoft license, external interactions complicate automation significantly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best practice business processes of PROMATIS helped us to implement an integrated process orientiented system."
"Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"The solution integrates well."
"It covers sales very well, covers 90% of the customer's needs, offers good WhatsApp and SMS integration, and is pretty straightforward to set up while being stable and reliable."
"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"We've implemented Oracle Sales Cloud there and now they are using the application composers and groovy scripting within the tool’s capability to deliver an inbuilt quoting metric, which allows their sales team to alter estimates, update sales cycles, delivery costs, and monitor margin through a system."
"Simplicity is key, and that's improved our organization."
"It covers sales very well."
"Salesforce is good for all sizes of customers because you can adapt Salesforce for all customer needs."
"Overall, I would recommend Salesforce, as it's an industry leader and integrates well across multiple platforms."
"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."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is used for selling, tracking leads, verifying customer information, scheduling appointments, visiting customers, and costing leads."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud has positively impacted my organization as the old excuse where a lot of people used to prefer working in Excel has been eliminated, and nowadays we have a system that's built around our business needs, which helps us optimize processes, make processes much shorter, and give us insights into sales cycles and how to improve them."
"This product is lightweight."
"The user interface is pretty simple."
"The product is very fast and responsive. There's no lag time when you are on the platform."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a user-friendly and flexible CRM tool that provides good accessibility and security."
"Nobody can compete with Salesforce Service Cloud's scalability."

"Customer service is very good."
 

Cons

"The initial setup of Oracle CX Sales is very complex."
"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"A lot of fields seem redundant or you have to re-enter information that you previously entered elsewhere."
"The user experience of Oracle CX Sales is not as good as Salesforce. The UI/UX is definitely not at that level."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"Sometimes, it is difficult to integrate it with my emails. I've had trouble integrating it with my emails. There were a couple of things I did try as well, but I wasn't able to do so. I've had difficulty in other areas too with integration. It was related to syncing my calendars. I want the tasks that I put in to automatically sync to my calendars and update my calendars, but I couldn't figure out how to do it."
"When integrating Salesforce Sales Cloud with other applications it can be difficult to maintain security."
"My rating for Salesforce Sales Cloud is seven. There are modern AI products that are now in the market offering better capabilities."
"One area where the solution could improve is with handling feature requests."
"If you don't have sysadmin rights, you can be hamstrung doing many things manually and one at a time."
"Sometimes, it is difficult to integrate it with my emails. I've had trouble integrating it with my emails."
"I need to do a lot of customization to implement an ERP solution for an energy and utilities client versus a BFS client. Salesforce should look at the common customizations each client wants and see how much of that can be standardized into industry-specific specific solutions. That would speed up implementation, so we don't need to go through the same steps a hundred times. Salesforce could do it once and put it out for the rest of the clients to use it."
"The cost of this solution could be improved."
"While Salesforce Service Cloud is more customer-focused, I believe a little more focus on assets is necessary."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"I'd like to see a better UI/UX. It also needs more competitive pricing on the Service Cloud feature licenses."
"The solution could continue improving its artificial intelligence capabilities."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The governor limits are a headache sometimes."
"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."
"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"The price is reasonable."
"The product is pricey."
"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."
"Not the cheapest"
"It's expensive, storage being the most costly aspect."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"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."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
