A reasonably stable and scalable tool to manage human resources, payroll, and expenses of a business
There are multiple options in the product that are improving quarterly by considering the user feedback Oracle receives from its multiple clients. I am not exactly sure about the improvements made in the product since I have not been working with the solution for the past four to six months. The area where employees' personal and contact information is called the person management section in the HR module of Oracle Fusion Service, has shortcomings where improvements are required. Sometimes, there are some issues with the areas around national identifiers in the product, so our company has to add multiple national identifiers. Though a person from the USA works in some other country, and that person has every valid document of the residing country, the product sometimes gives some trouble to access the information. The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly. It would be great if there was an option to do internal calculations in the product since sometimes, in our company, we have to calculate all the fields manually in Excel and then upload them in the application.

"The main benefit of Salesforce Service Cloud is that everything is in the cloud. We can track the entire customer journey from lead to account or opportunity. The CRM is in the cloud, while the financial transactions are in NetSuite. By integrating these applications, we get a complete view of the business. Some integrations are event-driven, while others are batch integrations that run at scheduled times. We also build reports using our in-house analytics tool to help leadership make decisions."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use."
"With Salesforce Service Cloud, customers can have end-to-end visibility from inquiry to delivery."

"Reporting could be improved."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and enhanced."
"The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
