Easy to deploy, stable, and scalable
The encryption and decryption have room for improvement. We need to be confident that the customer's data is secure when shared outside of the organization. I would like to request additional mobile app features that go beyond push notifications. As the mobile development industry continues to advance with new technologies, such as AI components, it is important to consider these advancements when setting up campaigns. Currently, campaigns are scheduled to be sent to customers at a prescribed time, but they may not be relevant to the customer unless they see them as valuable. For example, if I want to run a campaign offering loans, I would need to consider the customer's needs and balance. In the future, I hope Salesforce can incorporate an AI component that utilizes the shared data, rather than just scheduling campaigns.

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

"The Journey and CloudPages and automation are all great."
"The solution is very, very scalable."
"Datorama is part of Salesforce Marketing Cloud, which is quite a valuable feature that provides customer analytics."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to get quotes out in a timely manner."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"It is easy to use."
"The most effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
"AI manages customer interactions really well, and the flow becomes easier."
"This single-pane-of-glass approach enhances efficiency by consolidating social network interactions on one dashboard."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
 

Cons

"They could improve the product's data integration functionality for larger companies."
"An additional feature needed would be better capacity for personalization."
"There could be easier tools to configure the product and to create landing pages to better handle large data sets."
"I found that the tool is more complex than expected. It requires a deeper understanding to utilize its capabilities thoroughly."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is expensive. The email functionality should be more modern and user-friendly."
"We need a development environment for Marketing Cloud. Currently, there is no development environment for this solution. Other Salesforce products, such as Sales and Service Cloud, have a development environment in which the developers can do some things and then post them in production. Currently, everything happens in the production for Marketing Cloud. There is only one environment, and the developers and the end-users have to work in the same environment, which seems to be challenging. If Salesforce can bring a developer environment for Marketing Cloud, it will be good."
"The performance is sometimes sluggish, but I think that's to be expected with a heavy CRM tool because they're running reports in real-time on the data that you have entered."
"This solution could be more user-friendly."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"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."
"Customer service needs improvement, especially in problem-solving rather than just stating why issues exist."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is affordable, considering the significant improvements it brings to our campaign results."
"We did a yearly license. We negotiated and got a great deal. I don't think we would have gotten far with the regular price, but they negotiated, so it was worth that."
"The price is expensive."
"It's normal pricing."
"Salesforce has different versions of the solution and some are more suitable for smaller clients. However, Salesforce is expensive."
"Its licensing is on an annual basis. Customers are okay with its licensing cost, and they don't find it expensive."
"The solution is paid for monthly."
"It's not cheap, which is why I recommend that you use Marketing Cloud to create automated journeys. If you plan to use Marketing Cloud just to send emails, use another tool."
