Mohammed Tafazal - PeerSpot reviewer
RPA Lead Architect and Manager at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees
A scalable low-code platform with an easy initial setup phase
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The stability of Pega Sales Automation depends upon how an IT architecture is built, and because of this, I can say that users would experience no downtimes in an IT environment with high-availability servers. With Pega Sales Automation, I haven't seen any downtimes.
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

"The initial setup of Pega Sales Automation was easy since it is a tool meant for sales-related activities, and moreover, it is a very low-code tool."
"This is a stable product."
"Sales Cloud's reporting and analytics capabilities influenced our sales strategy quite a lot. We can build every report as a dashboard, and there are various sorts of things."
"The solution has the ability to run reports on the pipeline and understand the likelihood of the sales. The analytics tools are very good."
"The tool is a feature-rich platform. It is cloud-based means it's accessible to multiple people in the organization simultaneously. It's a collaborative CRM system where updates are visible to everyone. You can use it lightly with basic notes or extensively with lots of information. It supports multimedia, allowing you to upload video and audio clips. Overall, it's a feature-rich platform, and I don't have one specific feature that stands out; it's just very functional and rich."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud has helped our organization by giving it the flexibility to customize our products to fit tiers of products, and there are many timing and automation features that have given us control over some of the very unique business processes."
"There are many extremely useful features."
"The entire organisation is now on the same page, with one source of truth."
"The biggest benefit of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is a centralized point, a centralized source of truth for customer-related information; you centralize all the information in a single database, and that's the biggest benefit."
 

Cons

"I want Pega Sales Automation to provide users with more predictive and adaptive models and on how to get a forecast of upcoming leads since these two are areas where the solution lacks."
"I think the user experience could be improved. I would like the user interface to be a bit more user-friendly and modern."
"I didn't use Salesforce too much, so I can't say much about it because I don't think it would be very accurate."
"The performance is sometimes slow. There is too much information and this makes it difficult to find the answers we are looking for."
"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."
"The areas revolving around archiving and backup in Salesforce Sales Cloud are not as advanced as some of the other solutions in the market."
"The product is not stable when enhancements are done to the cloud."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration."
"Its licensing can be improved to accommodate small companies. They provide a certain number of licenses in a set or batch, and you have to buy the set. For example, if they have 20 licenses in a set, you have to get the whole set, even if you need just three licenses, which could be a barrier for small companies. There is no option to buy fewer licenses. So, small companies have to go for a smaller CRM, such as HubSpot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
"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."
"Sales Cloud is expensive."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"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."
"It's expensive, storage being the most costly aspect."
"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."
"Not the cheapest"
