Pros:

Anyone can pick it up and start using it right away. Numerous special functions help users grasp the situation and perform effectively. Learning about and using Salesforce is a requirement of using Service Cloud.

I wish I could send out a mass email to all of my accounts and track their activities in one place. In a broad sense, that would assist advisors save time. It would be convenient if a call could be recorded for more than two accounts at once.

Service Cloud is a Game Changer

5.0 9 months ago

Pros:

Service Cloud can integrate to many many platforms including telephony systems and most websites via API. Queue management, approvals, email and web to case are huge for tracking. Approval processes are available which is particularly helpful when training new employees.

Cons:

Salesforce in general is expensive. The UI is a bit dated out of the box. It takes a bit to get it up and moving and it generally needs a specialist. Once its running, life is grand but the set up process is not always pleasant.

Amazing tool that will definitely help your customer service team if you have the money

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: Salesforce has been an amazing CRM and provides great flexibility in their Service cloud platform. From case/ticket management to creating a portal for customers to ask their questions and find answers via knowledge base, Salesforce has it all.

Pros:

Extremely customizable, and very user friendly. Salesforce has always been on top of CRM and their service cloud is another powerful platform where after sales agent can easily help their clients.

Cons:

Salesforce as a whole can be quite expensive and the money you paid is not good enough for their knowledge base. This is currently very limited and if you have a knowledge base outside of Salesforce, it can be tricky to connect it to the Service cloud to use the inbuilt features. But Salesforce is currently working on this limitations with their data cloud platform.

It accelerates customer service and personalizes case management

4.0 last year

Comments: Compared to our previous ticketing system, we now have more intuitive case routing based on statuses, escalations, queues, and other routing options. We're excited to shift our attention from solving cases to helping members with their immediate problems.

Pros:

With SAP ERP as the backend, Service Cloud serves as the customer service interface. Our Service Staff's ability to quickly and easily record and bill for Service Activity is the major function.

Cons:

In order for Service cloud to function properly, too many technologies need to be incorporated. There are many features of Service Cloud that are unnecessary for our company.

Salesforce - A must for CRM

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, Salesforce service cloud is an incredibly powerful tool that has allowed me to understand our company more than ever through the dashboards and reports I create to make data more than just data, but answers to my questions. The valuable insight I have gained is a game changer.

Pros:

Although Salesforce might seem a bit daunting at first, it overall is extremely customizable and can (and should) be built for you and your company's needs. This tool is so powerful and key in customer relationship management and has taken our CRM to the next level. Our data is all held in Salesforce and we are able to create reports and dashboards to keep track of the business and gain insights.

Cons:

I do sometimes wish Salesforce was a bit more user friendly however once you learn more about the program you do become quite comfortable and customer service will always be there to help you in a kindly manner

Love Service Cloud

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall a tremendous fan of Service Cloud and all of the product offerings from Salesforce.

Pros:

It's a great business solution when set up properly. We're able to use it as a single platform for all contact center needs as it fully integrates with our CTI system as well

Cons:

The ramp up period for users to adopt and fully use the platform can take some time. It's not always user friendly, but once the users get the grasp of it, it increases productivity

It makes your work easier

5.0 last year

Comments: It made my work easier and that was positive for me and for my employers as well.
I felt more comfortable to use it when I have a client on the phone as it’s faster than other software programs. So I had a good experience in the overall.

Pros:

As a customer assistant this program helped me in managing clients datas easily and quick. When you have a client on the phone you have to be quick in filling the forms with its datas to sell a power or gas contract and recorder a vocal agreement.

Cons:

It’s too simple and it doesn’t have many tools. It suits only for certain jobs. In my opinion it could be improved.

I like Salesforce very much, because it is simple to use and automation

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: the experience itself, is very good. it makes it very easy to automate contact with the customer, especially when I want to update data. it helps me optimize my time, in my opinion there is little to improve

Pros:

I like the ease of changing the text I want to send to the customer, and the ease of automation of updating customer purchases

Cons:

i believe they could, verify if the client's number is in whatsapp or not, update the contact lists automatically, inform the quantity of available contacts in each list and a greater facility when searching for a specific contact. it is not so easy to filter the contact you want to contact. but i know that the platform is always being updated to improve the experience of its users

Great for luxury brands

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

I liked the fact that you could use it with other software so you don't have to put the same data in to multiple software one by one that feature was really time effective

Cons:

Well sometimes I had to refresh to ensure the data that I had had in the other system shows up I think its kinda good tho because if the data is incorrect or you made a mistake you'd see it by how its reflecting in salesforce
