Cons
"The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""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.""I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited.""The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations.""The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Salesforce Service Cloud Cons →

"The cost of the license could be lower.""Quality-of-life features have room for improvement.""The solution should integrate more features in NEAP.""We're using predictive analytics, and there are three or four algorithms. It would be helpful if this process were more standardized and scalable.""If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases.""We also faced challenges relating to UI development.""Splunk ITSI generates numerous false positives and has the potential for enhancement.""Microservices is the only area where Splunk ITSI can be improved. When things come from one EC2 instance to another, there's a lack of exposure to microservices, so we can't know what's happening. Apart from that, it's doing pretty well."
