The most valuable features for us are Cases, Community, and Chatter.
What is most valuable?
How has it helped my organization?
Service Cloud has allowed our organization to centralize multiple tools and resources into one tech stack that has optimized our ability to coordinate service efforts across the organization.
What needs improvement?
UI/UX has always proven difficult to keep up with. Salesforce, in general, requires a continued training effort to keep people up to speed and to encourage adoption in the tools. While there have been big improvements to date, simple things like ability to bookmark, right-click or otherwise multi-task panes and articles in Salesforce and the community have been missing.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
We've had no issues with deployment.
