Pros
"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.""It is a stable product.""The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians.""It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ.""I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.""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.""The interface is quite user-friendly."

"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred.""The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation.""The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation.""VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process.""The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."

Cons
"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations.""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 product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Knowledge Management platform could use some intelligence improvements. Data mining techniques for recommending the most relevant knowledge articles would be beneficial. Currently, that selection process is more administrative. AI could be used here.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The documentation could be improved.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved.""Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map."

"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap.""Should have more YouTube webinars.""The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use.""The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions.""There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
