Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of the solution are reporting and dashboards.""It is a very stable solution.""I find the forecasting the most valuable feature. It's valuable because there are two types of forecasting, customizable and collaborative forecasting.""The development cost, maintenance cost, everything will be drastically reduced - unlike traditional infrastructure where we maintain everything on our own.""The product is very fast and responsive. There's no lag time when you are on the platform.""The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are opportunity management and metric integration.""Our use case within the organization covers the entire cycle from lead generation, demand planning, and opportunities to realization and closure. For our clients, Salesforce is used more to plot the cycle from products to cash and lead to revenue. They mostly build offers and pricing quotations in the Salesforce environment through their field marketing agents.""Salesforce Sales Cloud is a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use.""It is a stable product.""We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management.""Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features. It includes robust case routing, escalation capabilities, entitlement mapping, and entanglement rules. Additionally, it supports Computer Telephone Integration (CTI), which allows for automatic case generation when a call is made to a designated number.""It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up.""It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ.""The interface is quite user-friendly.""The strength lies in its ability to work cohesively with other systems, creating a centralized hub that enhances efficiency and collaboration across various functionalities within our organization."

"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it.""The solution has a great filtering feature."

More Samanage Pros →

Cons
"The solution is secure. However, they could always improve on security.""Sometimes they refresh the production environment, which can be a bit of a challenge.""The user interface could be more intuitive. I had some challenges with how to convert from a lead to an opportunity.""The scalability could improve by a small amount.""One aspect I find challenging with Salesforce Sales Cloud is its forecasting feature. While it's useful for analyzing sales data and predicting future revenue, I've encountered instances where the outcomes weren't as perfect as expected.""Salesforce Sales Cloud could improve by allowing some customization of the processes with coding to avoid the problem of memory. When we use only flows in the process, which can become large flows, they are more complicated to debug and also for maintenance. It's better to invoke some Apex classes to make the process better.""The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud Cons →

"Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map.""The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""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 pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper."

More Salesforce Service Cloud Cons →

"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating.""The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The subscription is on a monthly basis."
  • "The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
  • "It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
  • "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."
  • "The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
  • "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."
  • "Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
  • "Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."

  • "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."
  • "Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
  • "The price is too expensive."
  • "We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
  • "The tool is pretty expensive."
  • "The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
  • "The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
