Shows where every sales employee stands, what the pipeline is and how healthy it is, but lacks an auto-population feature
In the last twelve months, there are two primary technologies I work extensively with. I've used Salesforce CRM and other similar technology. I'm not aware which version of Salesforce CRM I'm using, because I'm just a user, not the buyer. It's deployed on the public cloud, via Salesforce. Salesforce as a CRM tool becomes the source of truth in terms of what the standing of every sales employee is in the organization, what the pipeline is and how healthy it is, and what needs to be done to add to that pipeline. My advice to people looking into using Salesforce CRM is to understand their requirements and see why they need such an expensive tool. Data is very important in an organization, but then there are alternatives such as Zoho CRM and other CRMs available in the market. Understand how important it is that they want to work with data. If they have a vision of scaling the organization to a very large number, then Salesforce CRM makes sense. If they don't have more than two hundred or three hundred people in sales, Salesforce CRM is probably not the best solution because it will not give the best value for money. They can look at other options that can give better value for money. If they're part of large organizations beyond three hundred, then Salesforce CRM is a must-have. I'm giving Salesforce CRM a rating of seven. It's a great solution, and it's very user-friendly and has great reporting. However, the pricing is expensive and there could be better population features, for example, auto-population, with less manual activity.

Automation tools have improved workflow efficiency and offers AI features
AI manages customer interactions really well, and the flow becomes easier. The best part about AI is its analytics. For example, if a customer has been with the product for past five years, it provides insights into a customer's buying behavior and past issues with the company. This data is important when dealing with a customer on a call or another channel. Sprinklr's automation tools have improved workflow efficiency for our customers and made their life easier. he integration is better than before because they are really focusing on what they're doing now. Some of our colleagues even moved to Sprinklr from Aethela, and they are really building it up in a better way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I found most valuable in Salesforce CRM is its reporting feature because it's extensive and it's very accurate. I also like that you can move opportunities by stages. I find that feature very important and very useful because it helps you understand where opportunities get stuck, and at what stage it is currently."
"All the business intelligence included in the tool gives more information about the cycle of the sales stage."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
"The most effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
"The interface is the most valuable feature to me."
"The most important feature of Sprinklr is its high availability since it is a cloud solution."
"Sprinklr provides an in-depth, comprehensive solution akin to Salesforce for social media, offering a 360-degree cover with numerous options."
"This single-pane-of-glass approach enhances efficiency by consolidating social network interactions on one dashboard."
"AI manages customer interactions really well, and the flow becomes easier."
"Everything is integrated in one platform."
 

Cons

"The user interface can be improved."
"An area for improvement in Salesforce CRM is that there's still a lot of manual input you need to make. If it could pick up things automatically from an email and auto-populate, that would make the tool better. Another area for improvement is that the Salesforce CRM connector for G-suite does not work effectively."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
"The interaction and integration with our CRM should be improved, especially to ensure security with on-premises solutions and to be suitable for banking environments."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"If I compare Sprinklr with NICE, people still opt for NICE. This is because they are not as confident with the use cases of Sprinklr, even though Sprinklr is trying to improve."
"Their support team should opt for phone calls over emails to resolve issues faster."
"Customer service needs improvement, especially in problem-solving rather than just stating why issues exist."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for Salesforce CRM is extremely expensive."
