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.

Cons
