Salesforce - Best of Breed, but Overkills to a Point

Valuable Features:

Lots of functionality and it is a customizable interface.

Room for Improvement:

There is TOO much functionality and it is far too complex. Not a user-friendly interface with overkill features that diminish the point of having the system in the first place.

Excellent solution for ticketing with great reporting facilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are the reporting and the custom codes."
  • "Sometimes they refresh the production environment, which can be a bit of a challenge."

What is our primary use case?

The most valuable features are the reporting and the custom codes.

Sometimes they refresh the production environment, which can be a bit of a challenge.

It is for normal CRM usage. We are using it to manage our contacts and customer-related information.

What is most valuable?

It is a very good tool. There are a lot of interesting features. It is one of the best solutions.

We have 200 to 300 users of this solution. We will expand its usage depending on our needs. If needed, we'll extend the number of users.

How are customer service and support?

Our administration team handles that. I never needed support from them.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

It was a company decision. We are a part of a bigger group, and in that group, we had Salesforce. It was also easy to deploy because we had a Salesforce specialist.

How was the initial setup?

I'm not an admin of this tool, so I don't know about its setup. In terms of its maintenance, it is provided as a SaaS service. Its maintenance is not our business. It is provided by Salesforce.
