Leverage top-tier automation capabilities while streamlining complex naming conventions
Salesforce Service Cloud offers pre-built packages that are best in class. The automation capabilities have evolved over time, consolidating previous features into Salesforce flows. However, these work best when everything is within Salesforce Service Cloud and everyone has a license. Without an enterprise MuleSoft license, external interactions complicate automation significantly.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main benefit is having it integrated with the core Salesforce."
"It integrates with all our platforms, providing a comprehensive view of the customer."
"Clients gain productivity and save time with Salesforce Service Cloud."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the traceability of actions."
"The instant input of feedback into the CRM systems by case management is one of the impactful features"
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use."
"I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its very good workflow engine, and customization is quite easy; you can add your own tools and your own extensions of Salesforce, making it very end-user friendly from a technology point of view, even for technical developers who can implement it easily."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
 

Cons

"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Salesforce Service Cloud should work more on the resolution side. Once a case is raised and activities are tracked, at the time of closure, they could make it more simple."
"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."
"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved."
"I would like to add some bot features."
"Knowledge Management platform could use some intelligence improvements. Data mining techniques for recommending the most relevant knowledge articles would be beneficial. Currently, that selection process is more administrative. AI could be used here."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and enhanced."
"Reporting could be improved."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive. I worked with ExactTarget over five years ago, and it was quite pricey then. Not everyone could afford it. Salesforce has different tiers for different kinds of users. It's expensive considering their features and services, but they offer best-in-class solutions."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."
"The price is too expensive."
"The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
