Unified customer insights have reduced redundant communications and improved campaign targeting
Every function in Data Cloud has its unique purpose, but Calculated Insight is one of the strongest functions that I believe is very useful. I can accomplish everything, including customization, using Calculated Insight. If a client uses Data Cloud, they can save time and most importantly, they can save budget because I generate the target audience for marketing campaigns using unification. Redundant email or communication never happens due to the unified profiles, which helps businesses save their marketing budget and indirectly increase revenue. That is one of the most important benefits. Technically, there are many benefits, but in terms of business revenue, that is the most crucial part.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I rate my experience with Data Cloud a nine out of ten."
"We never had a problem with stability."
"In my opinion, some of the most valuable features of Salesforce are the integrations it has with our internal systems, with sales planning probably being second, and then third is contact information."
"Overall, Data Cloud is a powerful product for unifying real-time customer data and enabling personalized activation."
"If a client uses Data Cloud, they can save time and most importantly, they can save budget because I generate the target audience for marketing campaigns using unification."
"Because in many cases, we knew what was going to happen before it happened or before the opportunities arose, it allowed us to get a jump on sales and then a jump on delivery, so it allowed us to scale."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
 

Cons

"Most of the time, I believe that not all SQL functions are working in Calculated Insights or in Query Builder."
"Customizability is both an advantage and a disadvantage. While it provides a suitable solution with many pieces to integrate, it also adds complexity."
"In my opinion, areas that can still improve Data Cloud include the speed of the user interface, which is somewhat a problem, and reporting, as creating reports could be a bit easier."
"It is a very good product, but it is very complex to implement, change, develop, and integrate."
"Data Cloud is an overall average product."
"The product has a security flaw."
"Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard."
"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
