It's also elastic. Genesys Cloud also has chatbots, which I find valuable.""Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform.""Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows.""The stability is really good."

"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are opportunity management and metric integration.""The most valuable features are custom objects, custom workflows, triggering, and integration with other SaaS solutions.""On the high level, it's all about managing the clients, managing the opportunities around those clients, managing the tasks, calls, activities, all those things.""Salesforce Sales Cloud is a stable solution.""This solution offers a good user experience. It is easy to learn and use, even for those who are using it for the first time.""The ability to work on it from anywhere is most valuable. All you need is a computer, a browser, and an internet connection to access your instance. It can be accessed from anywhere, which is pretty cool and user-friendly.""The reporting features are useful.""Salesforce is a very powerful tool which helps us to build that through tools like Process Builder or Flows, or even write code to achieve these scenarios."

Cons
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud.""Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference.""The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful.""One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs.""Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution.""Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud.""The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies.""AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."

More Genesys Cloud CX Cons →

"The areas revolving around archiving and backup in Salesforce Sales Cloud are not as advanced as some of the other solutions in the market.""There are also certain restrictions on the reports in terms of the number of records. Ideally, that should be removed.""The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""As a presale team leader, I see a need to better understand the platform because our current knowledge is limited. This makes it difficult to explore possible extensions of its use. We also want more detailed information on commercial opportunities included in the tool. It needs to include better documentation on the functions it offers.""Salesforce Sales Cloud does not integrate with Slack or WhatsApp, for example. As a result, there is no easy way to directly log a conversation with a client that occurred on one of these platforms. There are a few things that still need to be done manually in these instances.""The scalability could improve by a small amount.""It could have a more user-friendly interface.""Applications that can help with migrating data over from the sandbox to production would make it easier because sometimes change sets can be bulky and they're not always as effective. This can be frustrating when you make a lot of changes and try to put those changes into production."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
  • "Genesys Cloud has pay-as-you-go pricing, so it's much cheaper than the on-premises solution. Apart from the standard fees, my company pays for Genesys support."
  • "I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
  • "The pricing is a bit expensive."
  • More Genesys Cloud CX Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The subscription is on a monthly basis."
  • "The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
  • "It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
  • "I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
  • "The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
  • "My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
  • "Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
  • "Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
