Salesforce is combination of all the tech stacks combined and not just an CRM tool. In this software you can have single view of customer and all the teams of your organisation can see 360 degree view of a customer and take up the business accordingly.

Quick option to add update. Response to the customers ask, add details for the sales and marketing team. Add customer contact so that details can be shared by just adding customer name.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Nothing much to dislike, I hope company will make the UI bit easier and provide some AI features to add comments etc faster.

Please do the reaserch and check which product is suitable. As far as our requirement was concern, SF was right fit.

What differentiates Salesforce Service Cloud from other similar products?

It is an excellent tool because it is easy to use and covers all the needs of a company. It helps maintain data and optimize productivity, both of which contribute to satisfied customers.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Easy integration, a service console, automated case routing, customizable dashboards and reports, and dial-up connectivity to popular providers like Cisco, BT, and Avaya are some of the best features of Salesforce Service Cloud. The most important thing for me is how easy the case management system is to use.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The tabs can be a little complex at times, making it difficult for beginners to navigate and receive all the information they need.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Customers can submit issues and we can track them to ensure they get the right resolution using the Salesforce cloud service.

Pros

Continually Improving Product
Unique Features
Efficient Service
Saves Time

Pricey. Not worth the money. Features disappoint.

What differentiates Salesforce Service Cloud from other similar products?

Salesforce service cloud is 3 x more expensive than Zoho and only meets 30% of our requirements. We have procured other suppliers to make up our requirements, so spending extra on telephony, reporting, email marketing, live chat with other suppliers. It’s also hard to maintain and the teams of guidance are confusing. The expensive decision was made to procure Salesforce before my time.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Duplicate records are highlighted to you

What do you dislike most about this product?

Most of it

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Shop elsewhere it’s highly inflated for what it does, not worth the money. IT support is terrible.

Pros

Security Protects

Cons

Less Respectful
Less Fair
Vendor's Interest First
