Cons
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great.""The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""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.""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.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved."

"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution.""It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution.""I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release.""In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities.""While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use.""You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
