Featured Reviews

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."
"Contact records are most valuable."
"This is very flexible product."
"The most beneficial aspect of Salesforce Sales Cloud is my development life cycle will have been shortened."
"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."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is very stable."
"Salesforce highlights what are we selling in different regions and which regions or areas offer opportunities. We are able to view sales by month, quarter or year."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are code hub management and sale opportunity management."
"The reporting features are useful."
 

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."
"The reporting functionality of Salesforce is much more a query engine than a true reporting module."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. Its reporting interface should be improved to personalize reports."
"We have a very broad set of products at our company. The process to get that information accurately into the Sales Cloud system could use improvement. It shouldn't take weeks of time. The process of identifying products that are being sold for forecasting purposes and sales tracking purposes is too hard."
"It might be easier if there were better integration with other sales systems or clouds that are not powered by Salesforce. For example, when we work with partners, such as Amazon or any other major tech company, sometimes we collaborate to develop a sales lead."
"The solution is secure. However, they could always improve on security."
"If the infrastructure is not correct, then customers are having an issue and it's taking a lot of time to load."
"Auto clean for duplicate leads, accounts, and contacts needs improving. When importing from other apps, it gets messy."
"The cost of this solution could be improved. It is pricey, although worth it now that they have bumped up default storage amounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive. We pay monthly for the solution but we are billed quarterly."
"It's expensive, storage being the most costly aspect."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
"The price of the product is very high. I rate the product price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means expensive."
"There is a license required to use this solution and the price is expensive. It could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
