"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use.""We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management.""I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions.

Cons
"It is still a niche skill and resources are scarce in the market unless big IT companies are involved.""The orchestration needs to be better.""In this modern world, in this automation space, if Pega could provide more options that are user-friendly and provide a way to quickly develop an automation solution that is drag-and-drop with a minimal coding approach, then it would be great for automation.""Pega Robotic Process Automation scalability is too low.""Rule versioning and deployment to enable parallel development could still be improved​""The way integration classes are created could be improved.""The OCR capabilities of the solution could be improved.""In Pega, the UI has to be improved because that is the most challenging area that most of our customers ask for because we have to depend on some other React JS or some other tool to bring that kind of UI experience. So, there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of UI and UX."

More Pega Robotic Process Automation Cons →

"The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""The documentation could be improved.""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.""I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited.""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.""Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map."
