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.

Freelancer at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Has efficient automation features and the ability to integrate with multiple systems
The initial setup is quite difficult for the latest versions from 2020 and beyond and can take about four to five hours. It can now be deployed on the cloud. Oracle offers the same images for on-premise and cloud deployments, making it easy to switch between the two. I created the docker image using VM and completed the setup in a few hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 provided our company with a common platform, a common process, and has created a common skill set, and institutional awareness of major transactions."
"You can capture all the contacts that relate to an account or business, including personal details."
"I haven't had any stability issues, and Sales Cloud seems to be highly stable."
"Contact records are most valuable."
"This is a stable product."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is a CRM-based platform, it is used for customer relationship management, where we securely store customers' data, manage those customers' data, and easily connect with our customers in the best environment."
"In my company, we have very manual backend disparate systems, but the good news is that through Salesforce—not only the Sales Cloud, but the Commerce Cloud—our customer-facing experience is best-in-class with this solution."
"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve the partner management and communities. For the enterprise licenses, we have the help, but it should also be extended with the features to the partner community."
"They should also include ATP and CTP functionality."
"It's a very broad tool."
"I'd like to have the ability to change default values on certain fields such as the “Related To” field on the Task and Event pages."
"Salesforce has a built-in functionality called changesets to move functionality from the sandbox and into production. That's a little dated now, and it's not very good for version control or backups."
"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."
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive."
"Reporting can become slow to pull once you reach a certain limit of contact records due to the complexity and volume of the data available."
"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Not the cheapest"
"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."
"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."
"Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive. We pay monthly for the solution but we are billed quarterly."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
