Allows to customize the sales process, easily adapts to our use cases but integration with other sales systems or clouds that are not powered by Salesforce is very hard
Pros and Cons
  • "When it comes to the lead management process, we track and evaluate the different stages and the challenges in each stage. It's so that the entire team has visibility of what's going on with each individual lead."
  • "It might be easier if there were better integration with other sales systems or clouds that are not powered by Salesforce. For example, when we work with partners, such as Amazon or any other major tech company, sometimes we collaborate to develop a sales lead."

What is our primary use case?

It's for managing the sales cycle.

How has it helped my organization?

When it comes to the lead management process, we track and evaluate the different stages and the challenges in each stage. It's so that the entire team has visibility of what's going on with each individual lead.

It has significantly impacted the sales cycle because we are able to get more precise updates, report back to our senior execs using the Salesforce stats, and make database judgments. So, it has shortened the sales cycle.

What is most valuable?

I like that I can customize the sales process to a particular team so that, based on whatever framework I use, I can significantly adapt sales. That's the security of the system.

What needs improvement?

It might be easier if there were better integration with other sales systems or clouds that are not powered by Salesforce. For example, when we work with partners, such as Amazon or any other major tech company, sometimes we collaborate to develop a sales lead. 

We use integrations between Salesforce instances so the partner can add opportunities to our account and vice versa.

The integration between systems used by different partners is very hard. So, that's something that can definitely be improved.

There are features I would like to see in future releases. It could give recommendations on what could be a possible next step and highlight important points; that's where AI would come in. If it sees patterns in sales and Sales Cloud could evaluate it and showcase to us how that sales cycle could be shortened – that would be a great feature.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for five years now. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is fairly stable. I have not faced any issues. 

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution adapts to our use cases. It's highly customizable, but you just need to know how to customize it.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a six out of ten, with one being easy and ten being difficult. 

It's just a matter of enablement. Sometimes, when it comes to inputting data, it has to be in certain formats, and it doesn't work properly. When you convert it to a report, it doesn't display the report correctly, so you need to know exactly how it needs to be tailored.

What about the implementation team?

Our IT team deployed it.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend having a good Salesforce administrator. Other than that, it's pretty easy to use. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. I would recommend using it. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

What is our primary use case?

We use Salesforce Sales Cloud for lead management, contact and account management, sales forecasting, collaboration, and workflow automation.

What is most valuable?

I've found lead management to be the most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It helps capture, track, and manage leads throughout the sales process. The tool is easy to learn. 

What needs improvement?

One aspect I find challenging with Salesforce Sales Cloud is its forecasting feature. While it's useful for analyzing sales data and predicting future revenue, I've encountered instances where the outcomes weren't as perfect as expected.

I have been using the product for three years.

Provides good business accuracy and monitors customers, projects, and sales
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are increased productivity and business accuracy."
  • "The solution's design could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for CRM and to monitor customers, projects, and sales. We are using Salesforce Sales Cloud as a forecast platform. The solution forecasts the current data, current project stages, and the probability of it happening or not happening.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are increased productivity and business accuracy.

What needs improvement?

The solution's design could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Salesforce Sales Cloud for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution ten out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Salesforce Sales Cloud is a scalable solution.

What was our ROI?

With Salesforce Sales Cloud, you have visibility and competency and see all the information you need from the sales side on one page.

What other advice do I have?

We chose Salesforce Sales Cloud because we need everything in one place to have one forecasting platform, one sales platform, and one customer management platform. The solution's forecasting feature gives us visibility on one page to give us better guidance and understanding of what's going on and what could happen. Since the solution is an appliance, there's nothing to deploy.

I would recommend the solution to other users. From my perspective, it's a tool that should be used for every purpose because it could be scalable from a small number of users to huge ones. Usually, it's flexible enough to implement all the features that customers could need. Salesforce Sales Cloud is a native integrated solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Powerful sales tool and CRM used for lead tracking and opportunity management
Pros and Cons
  • "Salesforce highlights what are we selling in different regions and which regions or areas offer opportunities. We are able to view sales by month, quarter or year."
  • "In five minutes, you can create a marketing campaign and send the campaign to users in less than 10 minutes."
  • "Salesforce is a powerful tool and you need specialists to create or to develop new functionalities. It is a difficult platform to learn to manage and you need years to know the whole product."

What is our primary use case?

We use Salesforce for lead management, opportunity tracking and sale tracking. It provides insight into what has been sold and a forecast for future opportunities.

How has it helped my organization?

Salesforce highlights what are we selling in different regions and which regions or areas offer opportunities. We are able to view sales by month, quarter or year.

What is most valuable?

I like how you can create marketing campaigns. In five minutes, you can create a marketing campaign and send the campaign to users in less than 10 minutes. 

What needs improvement?

Salesforce is a powerful tool and you need specialists to create or to develop new functionalities. It is a difficult platform to learn to manage and you need years to know the whole product. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Salesforce for four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. I previously used Asana but Salesforce offers better scalability compared to Asana. 

How are customer service and support?

The customer service team respond really quickly. I would rate their support a five out of five. 

What other advice do I have?

Even though we have more than 50 employees in our organization, only 10 users use Salesforce. This is because licenses are expensive and more employees use Asana which we have free licenses for.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The reporting features are useful.
Pros and Cons
  • "The reporting features are useful."
  • "I haven't had any stability issues, and Sales Cloud seems to be highly stable."

We primarily use Sales Cloud to process internal requests from field sales and operations.

What needs improvement?

I would like if Sales Cloud had the flexibility to create or edit the forms used to submit requests. Right now, they're fixed, and users can't edit them. Only administrators have editing privileges, so it takes too long to make changes.

I've been using Sales Cloud for about four years.
