We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Suitable for all sizes of organizations.""One of the most valuable features is the automation of Sales Cloud. It gives us the ability to easily—without the use of coding—create automation in order for us to do our work a lot more efficiently, whether it's notification reminders or certain automatic processes. There are a lot of things that Sales Cloud can do that, in my opinion, make everyone's jobs a whole lot easier and give them the visibility they need when they require it, when talking to customers and prospecting. It makes the account management process easier as well.""The scalability is good.""The company wants to implement the idea of democracy within IT. As an end user, you can do a lot by yourself, so you do not have to write code. The idea is that they go for low-code and they use flow. It's possible to update records and do things like automation without writing real codes. I think this is one of the advantages of the solution.""I've found lead management to be the most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It helps capture, track, and manage leads throughout the sales process. The tool is easy to learn.""The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are increased productivity and business accuracy.""Salesforce's user interface is easy to use, and the reporting is good. It worked well with Excel, so I was okay with it. I don't know about integration with any other software because I didn't have to deal with them.""CRM solution that performs well. It's multifeatured, so you can use it for different activities such as managing opportunities, managing revenue, reviewing leads, etc."

"We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management.""The complexity of the solution is very less.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.""It is a stable product.""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 three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians.""It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up.""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."

More Salesforce Service Cloud Pros →

"When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have.""This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI.""The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports.""It is an easy-to-use solution.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module.""Change management is the most critical feature.""The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is its ease of use if you have implemented it in the right way. If you're not implementing it in the right way, then it's very difficult.""Its ITSM approach is quite useful."

Cons
"The problem is the solution has gotten so big, it's very complex now. It's a bit difficult to figure out how to do certain actions.""The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Amount of storage provided is limited.""I would like to see licensing fees reduced in the next release.""The solution can be difficult to understand for customers of Salesforce.""The monitoring is very good, but it could be better.""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.""Salesforce Sales Cloud needs a more user-friendly interface."

More Salesforce Sales Cloud Cons →

"The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great.""The documentation could be improved.""The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map."

More Salesforce Service Cloud Cons →

"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket.""The solution's change management could be better.""All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes.""Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved.""One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information.""An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records.""This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package.""It is time-consuming to add new users."

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."
  • More Salesforce Service Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
  • "Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
  • "There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
  • "The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
  • "TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
