Salesforce Essentials Reviews

We use the solution to manage leads, sales, and billing. It is easy to manage the customer requirements up to invoice.

Salesforce makes tracking every product and customer activity easy, enabling managers to monitor their products, such as key products and their peak performance.

The solution could be cheaper.

I have been using Salesforce Essentials for over 3 years.

The product is stable.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

The solution’s scalability is easy because we are growing and adding more people to our organization in Salesforce.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

The initial setup is easy. First, you need to obtain an architecture license. Then, we create a user. Once this is done, we can easily access the web page, connect to the internet, and use the app. It's straightforward to open and utilize. To deploy, create the user ID and access, and the end user can immediately go on.

ROI is good.

The product has a yearly pricing.

I recommend the solution to enterprise users. It's cloud-based, making deployment easy, and the cost is reasonable.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I use the solution in my company for opportunity management, report generation, creation of lists, and all the data input and output.

The product's reporting area has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required. If you wanna extract a report, you have to know a lot of the things that you want in the report. The reports should be a little user-friendly. Users should be able to draw information from the reports at first glance without having to learn a lot about what you look at in the reports.

I have been using Salesforce Essentials since 2014.

The product is stable. I have nothing to complain about. The product usually announces when there will be downtime, and it is mostly on the weekends so that nobody is affected.

I don't use the scalability feature of the product.

Around 500 people in my company use the product.

It is used on a daily basis as an admin tool to perform certain duties in our company.

I have contacted the tool's support team. I cannot complain about the product's technical team since they are pretty fast to respond.

I have experience with on-premises CRM tools. Basically, it was a CRM tool under another cloud provider.

Though I am not involved in the product's setup phase, I know it can be installed straight out of the box.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution.

The solution streamlines our company's sales process since it provides a single pane of glass on which I can access all the information I need. For example, I do not have to open a million links to find the contacts, and I can see the full history of interactions in the past, allowing me to see what was lost, after which I can explore whatever is in my interest. The tool also helps me figure out if some information was lost, why was it lost. Basically, the tool brings everything under a single page, including most of the information I need, so I don't have to invest a lot of time doing research.

The product's integration capabilities are great. If you add a voice over IP application, the tool works fast. It works well with Outlook as well. The tool is good in terms of integrations.

Working with the tool's mobile application is very difficult because it requires a lot of configuration. Usually, I just use the browser to use the tool on my cell phone. I have never used the mobile application and prefer to use it over Google Chrome.

The product is very easy to learn, it works fast, and it is very intuitive. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Salesforce Essentials is stable.

We used Oracle before. We switched to Salesforce Essentials, which is a cloud-based architecture and a highly scalable flexible system to use.

The tool's deployment is very straightforward. It took around six to eight months to complete. We undertook steps like initiation, planning, and execution to complete the installation. 

The tool is moderately priced. 

I rate Salesforce Essentials an eight out of ten. 

The solution helps to track the performance of salespersons before closing deals. 

The solution needs to be more user-friendly. It's difficult for a senior to track leads when a salesperson uploads leads. The solution should also improve its integration capabilities. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

I rate Salesforce Essentials' stability a six out of ten. 

My company has 2000 users who use it daily. 

Salesforce Essentials' deployment is complex. It takes 20-30 minutes to complete. 

We can do the deployment in-house once the training is done. 

We chose quarterly payments. 

I rate the overall product a six out of ten. I rate its integration capabilities a five out of ten. You need to test the solution thoroughly before going full-scale.
