"Salesforce provides the best they have with the current version. Most of the features we need are already there, and it's very easy to use.""Salesforce makes tracking every product and customer activity easy, enabling managers to monitor their products, such as key products and their peak performance.""The most important feature is how Salesforce Essentials brings together information from multiple channels. The nature of our complex custom product data has been challenging due to our manufacturing nature. Salesforce also allowed business processes like finance, credit lines, customer complaints, and quality issues to integrate seamlessly. I haven’t used the mobile app functionality, because we haven't fully utilized because of our preferance of more personal interactions over using mobile apps.""The product is stable.""The solution is very scalable and flexible. It can be customized as per the business need."

Cons
"The UI experience needs refinement to enhance user-friendliness.""The vendor must provide a user-friendly mobile application.""Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise.""The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly.""The user experience has to be much better.""The solution’s reporting could be improved.""Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization.""There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."

More Oracle Fusion Service Cons →

"Salesforce Essentials does not contain domain-specific solutions.""The solution could be cheaper.""Less integration would be better. It should work independently.""The product's reporting area has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""Integrating Salesforce with SAP, considering our business relies heavily on SAP for ERP, has been quite challenging due to the intricate product configurations. Unlike standard products like computers with a few options, our products have hundreds of configurable options, making the integration complex. If such integration were possible, it would have been easier to understand the unique nature of our industry and the limited number of customers who buy steel products, unlike consumer electronics."
