Featured Reviews

Greg Jacob - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines collaboration across teams and has a straightforward setup process
The platform initiates a series of processes to complete the sale, which may involve ordering equipment, providing services, and tracking necessary activities. The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team. Compared to my experience working with HubSpot, which excelled in presales and marketing but lacked integration with ERP and post-sales processes, NetSuite CRM+ stands out for its ability to streamline collaboration and information sharing across teams. It facilitates post-sales engagement by effectively providing visibility into the bill of materials and assigning responsibilities. The platform is not highly customizable like Salesforce. However, it offers sufficient flexibility for our requirements. I can easily create different views and reports and add widgets to my home screen as needed. I rate it an eight out of ten.
Richard Mottershead - PeerSpot reviewer
Infinitely customizable, good end-to-end sales and customer management processes but lacks good documentation
Essentially, it's the CRM solution for managing customers and leads. The features that had the most significant impact on our sales efficiency include flexibility, regular updates, and very good end-to-end sales and customer management processes. AI and machine learning are on the agenda for next year. Initially, it will be very silo-based, but eventually, we'll be integrating MIBI data into our solution. Sales Cloud's reporting and analytics capabilities influenced our sales strategy quite a lot. We can build every report as a dashboard, and there are various sorts of things. We are using Tableau as our MIBI analytic solution, which is also owned by Salesforce these days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the product for standard CRM functions like email marketing, account management, scheduling customer profiles, and marketing materials, and for integration with the Suite Commerce."
"NetSuite CRM+ helps us provide customer support and track schedules for field service."
"The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team."
"Very scalable solution that provides customer relationship management, sales, and marketing functions. It's very straightforward to set up, and it supports multi-subsidiary organizations."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"The reporting is easy and helpful."
"It is a good platform that shows consolidation of information for our customer base."
"The most significant features of Salesforce Sales Cloud that boosted our sales productivity are workflow management and integrated commentary. Workflow management allows us to progress from exploration and qualification to closing a sale. The integrated commentary feature lets us open conversation threads around a sale and bring in team members, enhancing collaboration."
"The features of Sales Cloud most useful for testing and running email campaigns are highly valuable."
"The solution can scale massively. I've been quite impressed."
"Salesforce's user interface is easy to use, and the reporting is good. It worked well with Excel, so I was okay with it. I don't know about integration with any other software because I didn't have to deal with them."
 

Cons

"The product needs to improve the warehouse management feature."
"What could be improved in NetSuite CRM+ is its UI, because it's ugly. When you compare it to the Salesforce UI, the UI in Salesforce, particularly its reporting, looks better."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating AI functionality to provide intuitive assistance."
"NetSuite's field service automation should be updated. We should be able to fully automate the assignment of service orders to technicians."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is not as simple to use as Zoho. It requires some level of expertise before you can use it. However, you can easily learn how to use the solution as you go along."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting formats could be better."
"We have a very broad set of products at our company. The process to get that information accurately into the Sales Cloud system could use improvement. It shouldn't take weeks of time. The process of identifying products that are being sold for forecasting purposes and sales tracking purposes is too hard."
"The developer console might be enhanced."
"When importing from other apps, it gets messy."
"There are also certain restrictions on the reports in terms of the number of records. Ideally, that should be removed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other tools, you have to pay for the NetSuite CRM+ module itself. You will pay a recurring fee regardless of how many users you have, then you will pay a fee per user, per month. Its cost is not a licensing cost per user, but a module cost and a user cost."
"It ultimately depends on the features and functionalities required for your specific use case."
"The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of users. It has a different pricing for 0-100 and another for 100-500 users."
"The price of the product is very high. I rate the product price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means expensive."
"The overall price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be better, it is more expensive than other competitors. There is an annual license for Salesforce Sales Cloud."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
