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.

Customization and process automation enhance support operations, but interface consistency could improve
At this time, there is not specifically something to improve regarding Service Creatio, but a couple of years ago, Creatio started developing a new version called Freedom UI with new interfaces. The new interfaces are amazing, but we still have some features in Classic UI that we cannot use in Freedom UI. What we miss is having all features in Classic available in Freedom. Creatio works every three months to release new features, but they are taking too much time to make all those features available. We could use more time. There are a lot of business rules we can use in Classic UI, but we cannot use many of those business rules in the Freedom UI because of the different interfaces. We miss several kinds of business rules or conditions that we could use in the design of the application or interfaces to the customer. For instance, I had a feature to introduce a formula graphically, but I can only use very basic formulas in the latest release. In Classic UI, we have powerful formulas, but in Freedom UI, I am limited to direct files from the current screen. The only thing I miss is having all the features from Classic UI available in Freedom UI. For instance, managing duplicated records is a feature that we can easily use in Classic UI, but in Freedom UI I cannot merge contacts to resolve duplicates, which is not available yet.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"I would rate Salesforce Sales Cloud's scalability as very good. We have scaled from 30 to 150 within three years without a glitch."
"This solution offers a good user experience. It is easy to learn and use, even for those who are using it for the first time."
"We can also customize Salesforce Sales Cloud to our customer's company requirements. As for your demand, you can customize it. There are so many configurations we can do with the application. There is a lot of functionality that you can implement. It's an easy-to-use, user-friendly, and secure platform."
"I like that Salesforce is ERP agnostic. In the past and at different companies, I have implemented new or replacement ERPs. It's best in class. I like that it's a SaaS. I like that it can work on any device—any Windows, Android, or Apple device."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to use."
"The ability to work on it from anywhere is most valuable. All you need is a computer, a browser, and an internet connection to access your instance. It can be accessed from anywhere, which is pretty cool and user-friendly."
"Our customers have seen value and efficiency using this solution."
"You can draw a video map or draw on a piece of paper and put it in creation using the designer tool."
"Service Creatio is a great tool in process automation."
 

Cons

"Salesforce Sales Cloud overall is too complex. There is too much functionality, it's hard for the user, at the beginning. It takes a lot of time to update the information."
"Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds."
"Sales Cloud could improve in areas such as AI integration, particularly for templates."
"I need to do a lot of customization to implement an ERP solution for an energy and utilities client versus a BFS client. Salesforce should look at the common customizations each client wants and see how much of that can be standardized into industry-specific specific solutions. That would speed up implementation, so we don't need to go through the same steps a hundred times. Salesforce could do it once and put it out for the rest of the clients to use it."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration."
"When integrating Salesforce Sales Cloud with other applications it can be difficult to maintain security."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The customer self-portal is not good. Service Creatio has a special capability for external customers and users to access the web portal, but we had to use third-party solutions developed by us."
"The return material authorization should utilize no-code or low-code."
"Despite me telling them that Service Creatio has many certifications to protect data, they chose on-premise, which has created issues, as they must be responsible for updates, upgrades, and new releases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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"
"I've seen the prices for Salesforce Sales Cloud, but I haven't been the one to handle the money. As someone who's only visually looked at the price, I would imagine it's on the pricier side, but they do have a ton of leverage, and seeing that everyone I've worked for has always been dedicated to continuing Salesforce. I've never worked for anyone who has threatened to leave. Everyone has accepted the pricing for what they offer."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"There is a license required to use this solution and the price is expensive. It could be reduced."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of users. It has a different pricing for 0-100 and another for 100-500 users."
