Salesforce Sales Cloud Reviews

Pros

Having multiple tools available in one platform is really valuable and convenient.

Cons

The tools take more time to learn which makes us stick with the older version of the platform.

Pros

Right away, the CRM features are what I appreciate most about this software, contact management, workflow creation, task management, client interaction tools, analytics and statistics and the fact that it's mobile-friendly as well.

Cons

I can't think of anything I dislike about the software or its features.

Pros

Using it has been very easy and I'd recommend it to any organization because it helps store database information and makes office work more organized, manageable and convenient for both the company and its employees.

Cons

Honestly, our organization has been using this software for years and I can't really point to anything I dislike about it.

Pros

From a call center standpoint, this software does store all of our customer information which is useful. That said, I'd honestly rather be using a different system because searching for contacts can be frustrating when I don't have a name. Most of the time I'm working with a case number instead so that makes the search process more difficult than it should be.

Cons

Getting around this software can be frustrating. The navigation isn't very simple and there are some odd quirks when trying to update contact details.

Pros

Right from the start, the system felt very user friendly. It helps us keep all patient information organized in one place and lets us update new details in real time without any hassle.

Cons

The reporting side can be a bit confusing at first especially when it comes to creating reports.

Pros

It fits right into the way our business operates. As a cellphone sales company, we use it to handle orders and activations and we stay on top of everything through daily check-ins. The support team has also been consistently reliable whenever we need help.

Cons

One thing that can be frustrating is the delay in sales updates. At times, the reporting takes longer than expected to show up in the system. That said, it may have been related to an issue on our side internally so it can depend.

Pros

We're still early in the rollout but it's been a positive experience so far. Adding new users is easy and it's also simple to build in our custom business process logic.

Cons

Nothing significant at this point. We ran into a few minor hiccups early on but that seemed more related to developer adoption than the platform itself.

Pros

It works really well overall and the ZoomInfo integration is especially valuable. The High Velocity sales performance tab does a great job of showing the total outreach handled by SDRs along with email opens across the total addressable market. On top of that, the sales engagement tab is very useful for spotting interested prospects and separating them from cold leads.

Cons

My only real complaint is that there's no option to add multiple email IDs. You can store multiple contact details but being able to include more than one email address would make it much easier to run sales cadences across both work and personal emails. A lot of prospects show up with multiple email IDs from different prospecting tools and too much time gets spent figuring out which one is correct. That could be avoided if multiple email addresses could be entered directly. Other than that, matching some IDs in LinkedIn Navigator is still quite difficult because the search only allows name, position and company as filters. A location filter feels essential especially since each SDR usually covers a specific territory so that would be much more useful for prospecting. Even when a LinkedIn ID is already entered for a lead, Navigator often still fails to match it which forces us to fall back on the regular manual search and that usually creates extra manual work in sales cadences.

Pros

This platform has been a huge help for managing customers at scale and keeping track of new prospect information. It also supports sales process automation really well which makes it easier to carry out business strategies centered on customer relationships. One thing I really appreciate is that all client information stays within the company. If a salesperson leaves, they no longer have access to that data because the system includes protections for client information. Since every sales manager is required to log their information into the system, the data remains with the business and can only be used by authorized team members. That makes it possible to pick up customer relationships again and continue managing those accounts without losing history.

Cons

I honestly do not have any complaints about this platform since it is built to help both small and large companies retain their customers.

Pros

Right away, the biggest advantage was how simple it was to use. We moved over from another product because this one gave us more features, felt more current and had a lot more settings we could adjust depending on how we planned to use the software.

Cons

Getting everything set up for the whole team did take some time. If I remember correctly, it was a few weeks before everyone was fully up and running. We were also updating employee training materials along the way since, at the beginning, it was more of a learn-as-you-go process. That said, that was more about our internal rollout than a problem with the software itself.

Pros

Using it feels easy and it's really important for keeping track of customers.

Cons

The scheduling options aren't really my favorite.

Pros

It cuts down a lot of time by letting me import data that I used to enter by hand when putting together financial reports. Bringing the data in this way also helps reduce typo mistakes.

Cons

At first, the software seemed a bit intimidating but after I got used to it, it felt much more user-friendly.

Pros

It keeps a huge volume of data neatly structured and well organized.

Cons

Every time I drill down into different accounts, it opens a separate tab for each item I look into.

Pros

One thing I really appreciated was being able to edit the fields whenever I needed to and even go back to modify budget estimates from quite a while ago.

Cons

At times, the data didn't save properly and the system could be slow.

Pros

Everything is kept in one place, including customer master records orders and communication history.

Cons

The search and filter functions, along with exporting data, can be a little difficult to work with.

Pros

Getting document storage in place is really easy and the setup process doesn't take much effort at all.

Cons

Some features can be pretty slow and that can make the work feel a lot more stressful than it should.

Pros

It is easy to use, the interface feels customer-friendly and once you're properly trained, the reporting is very detailed. It also does a really efficient job of tracking customers.

Cons

To get the most out of all the features, you do need some training first.

Pros

One thing this platform does well is connect with a wide range of other tools, including marketing automation systems, customer support and ticketing platforms, lead acquisition and enrichment solutions and ABM software.

Cons

At the same time, the product has felt largely unchanged for years. It still doesn't let you report on leads and contacts together in a single view and campaigns are pretty limited when it comes to managing influence and attributing impact across pipeline and conversions. Reporting in general is quite limited and multi-touch attribution isn't available unless you pay extra for a very costly add-on.

Pros

It covers business processes really well and delivers a complete workflow rather than just handling one part of the job. I also appreciate that it does not only focus on customers but creates a fuller customer experience through its interface. On top of that, the platform is very simple to use and understand.

Cons

A few years back, this tool began mainly as an online sales solution and over time its features have expanded to meet a wider range of needs. Overall, it has worked well for me.

Pros

We use it to share information and upload contracts and it's been really useful because it makes communication between offices in different countries much easier.

Cons

At the beginning, it can be a little complicated to find what you need and the system could definitely be more user-friendly.
