Leverage top-tier automation capabilities while streamlining complex naming conventions
Salesforce Service Cloud offers pre-built packages that are best in class. The automation capabilities have evolved over time, consolidating previous features into Salesforce flows. However, these work best when everything is within Salesforce Service Cloud and everyone has a license. Without an enterprise MuleSoft license, external interactions complicate automation significantly.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our users are satisfied with the product, and they spend less time on this tool, but create more opportunity and other data."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Nobody can compete with Salesforce Service Cloud's scalability."
"If you can get customers to self-serve, this is invaluable and save your customers' time and your staff's time."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a user-friendly and flexible CRM tool that provides good accessibility and security."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its very good workflow engine, and customization is quite easy; you can add your own tools and your own extensions of Salesforce, making it very end-user friendly from a technology point of view, even for technical developers who can implement it easily."
"We have improved our customer service and call-deflection rate with Service Cloud, particularly with Knowledge Base and Customer Community features"
"Salesforce provides a really good overview of the pipeline and the stages of each sale, allowing management to make accurate forecasts in terms of what will come in by the end of the month, quarter, or year."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
 

Cons

"The integrations with other solutions can be improved."
"We're seeing a lot of automation and AI enhancements for improvements. This helps answer simple questions without manual intervention, saving time. We can improve by automating more of our solution-building process. Salesforce Service Cloud is a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. It's constantly evolving, and we're always looking for ways to improve our use. The cloud services we use include CRM (Salesforce), financial (NetSuite), and people (Workday). These services are becoming more automated, with a lot happening in the AI space. We do a lot of modeling ourselves to find answers to questions, and our product team has introduced some AI enhancements."
"The prices for storing files - like example attachments - are really high per GB."
"Specifically, they need to improve the Knowledge Management module."
"They need to improve the email integration with Outlook. At the moment the plugin is very unstable, and crashes from time to time."
"The initial set up can be a non-event. However, most businesses would need complex customizations."
"They could improve upon analytics."
"While Salesforce Service Cloud is more customer-focused, I believe a little more focus on assets is necessary."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
"I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive. I worked with ExactTarget over five years ago, and it was quite pricey then. Not everyone could afford it. Salesforce has different tiers for different kinds of users. It's expensive considering their features and services, but they offer best-in-class solutions."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
