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

"Salesforce Service Cloud improved our organization with its mobile capabilities."
"The complexity of the solution is very less."
"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."
"The solution is a great product. It's hosted on a platform that offers various features, such as email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots. You can connect with customers through any of these channels."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use."
"It is a stable product."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"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."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
 

Cons

"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."
"We've started using a couple of AI engines. I believe there's room for improvement there. For instance, when an agent receives a message like "My order is stuck midway, and the delivery guy isn't responding," there should be a pre-populated recommended response on the agent's screen. Instead of crafting a custom reply or searching through knowledge articles to find the delivery guy's contact, this should be the process."
"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could 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."
"Salesforce Service Cloud should work more on the resolution side. Once a case is raised and activities are tracked, at the time of closure, they could make it more simple."
"I face challenges with Salesforce Service Cloud because it requires and is difficult to customize."
"The pricing of Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive compared to other solutions like our current SAP CRM, which is much cheaper."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and enhanced."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"
"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 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."
"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."
"The price is too expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
