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.
Valdi Venter - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner | Director of Operations at Expert Technology Solutions
A modular, easy-to-use solution that needs to improve support and include automation
There are one or two annoying things. For example, if you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself. That's annoying. If you have five items in the drop-down list or if you have a hundred, it's just pathetic. It makes no sense that you have to do that because I've never seen it not work before in any other system that I've ever worked with. If you make a list of things, most solutions automatically put it in an alphabetized order. Or it'll put it in date order, but there is some order. It doesn't just go randomly in the order you create them. For example, I might load about 20 neighborhoods into a drop-down list, starting at "a" and ending at "z." But I might miss one of the "b's" and two of the "c's," so I add them, but they are added after the "z." Then I have to go to the bottom of the list, click on the one that starts with "b," and drag it all the way up to the "b's." That's just a pain in the butt.

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 Salesforce Sales Cloud are increased productivity and business accuracy."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is very stable."
"It is an open the platform with API integration with other systems. Salesforce, it is not a software. It is very famous and available. When you are creating leads, generating leads, opportunities, it is wonderful in the reports as well. Dashboards are amazing."
"In terms of the return on that investment, a non profit that uses the system well should be able to raise more money with the data and time savings provided."
"You can have non-sales and marketing personnel using Chatter without driving up licensing cost."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is used for selling, tracking leads, verifying customer information, scheduling appointments, visiting customers, and costing leads."
"The technical support team is very cooperative, and I'm satisfied with their service."
"The most valuable features are custom objects, custom workflows, triggering, and integration with other SaaS solutions."
"Very flexible and customizable; we appreciate being able to host it locally with direct access to the backend."
"The fact that we can build our own modules on the solution is really quite attractive, and it's not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
 

Cons

"When importing from other apps, it gets messy."
"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."
"Sale items for complex-solution sales."
"There are things that could be improved with respect to file sharing. There is a limited file size."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, it is difficult to integrate it with my emails. I've had trouble integrating it with my emails."
"The cost of this solution could be improved. It is pricey, although worth it now that they have bumped up default storage amounts."
"If you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself."
"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
"The charts and graphs available out of the box are pretty outdated, and you're a little limited in how you can present information on the dashboard without adding modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be reduced. It is expensive."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is an expensive solution."

"Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"The overall price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be better, it is more expensive than other competitors. There is an annual license for Salesforce Sales Cloud."
"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."
