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 ability to automate processes is one of the most valuable features of Salesforce. This sets it part from other systems. We use the journey builder to design a fully automated journey."
"The most valuable part of the solution are the selling features."
"I like the user interface it has a nice look and feel."
"We use this solution for reporting, pipeline generation, and forecasting."
"It is easy to send emails and SMS's."
"It's a software-as-a-service solution. Everything is managed centrally from the cloud. As far as I can tell, installation is relatively simple."
"Marketing Cloud has improved our productivity and our team enjoy using it."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud's integrations are seamless since it is a native application. It helps us with B2B and B2C send-outs and can handle large columns."
"The most important feature of Sprinklr is its high availability since it is a cloud solution."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
"The scheduling feature is, of course, key just so I can do it in one sitting, plan out the month, and be ahead of everything."
"The most effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
"Everything is integrated in one platform."
"The interface is the most valuable feature to me."
"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."
 

Cons

"When you use your iPhone or Android phone, Salesforce is not as user-friendly as it could be. That UX needs to be improved."
"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."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud should be linked to an email ID, so the features after 15 days can update on the opportunity. You should not have to update them manually to the next step."
"It should contain artificial intelligence, in my opinion."
"I've noticed on one-to-one leads, the customer objection option is not available."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud should provide some debugging facilities for every user."
"It's a very good solution, but the way the prices are structured is not always good, and I feel like that is a problem."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud should include more point-and-click functionality."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"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."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
"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."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
"Customer service needs improvement, especially in problem-solving rather than just stating why issues exist."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for the solution is on a yearly basis."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a highly expensive solution, it needs to be less expensive. We are on an annual license to use the solution."
"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."
"My company pays to use this solution."
"The price is expensive."
"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."
"It's normal pricing."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
