A versatile platform that can track commercial opportunities
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are the ability to track portfolio opportunities and reporting capabilities. The notification process inside the platform is also very valuable, and extracting reports is extremely useful. However, we are currently using only a small part of its functionality.
What needs improvement?
At the moment, Salesforce Sales Cloud is mainly used by key account managers and the commercial team. We are also looking to extend its use and functionality to the presale team.
As a presale team leader, I see a need to better understand the platform because our current knowledge is limited. This makes it difficult to explore possible extensions of its use. We also want more detailed information on commercial opportunities included in the tool. It needs to include better documentation on the functions it offers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool's stability is very good, and I rate it a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. We use it two to three times a month. My company has around 100 users, and my team has 12 members.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted the technical support team for the solution yet.
What was our ROI?
Currently, there is no impact on the duration of our sales cycle. We are asking more in-depth questions about the platform because, so far, there is no clear benefit. We are still looking internally to understand how to use it more profitably. I'm not involved in the investment itself. I'm just the final user, so it's something that other sales teams in the company evaluate.
What other advice do I have?
We update all our software to the latest versions as an internal policy. Salesforce Sales Cloud is the standard tool in our company. It is integrated with other application platforms developed in the company, which are proprietary software. The integration was difficult, but I don't have direct experience with that process.
My advice to people looking to implement the tool is that they should understand the organization in which the solution will be applied, including the business processes. A certain degree of customization is needed when applying the platform to the real context. Good advice would be to analyse the needs deeply before implementation.
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. I think it's a good platform. It's versatile and can be applied in many different contexts so that it can be recommended.

Easy to develop and provides good reliability and security

We used Salesforce Sales Cloud to build a solution in the healthcare industry, where customers can log in and see patient's health data and a couple of related inferences. They can also see the previous encounters we had with their provider.

Sometimes, we are confused about which Salesforce solutions to use for which purpose. The solution's customer support is not so good. It takes a lot of time to reach the support team, get some clarifications, or discuss with the Salesforce team, which is a horrible experience.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Salesforce Sales Cloud is an expensive solution.
What other advice do I have?
Salesforce Sales Cloud is deployed on the Salesforce cloud. Our company decided to use Salesforce Sales Cloud because they wanted to upgrade their tech stack, and Salesforce was the safer choice. Salesforce Sales Cloud is easy to maintain.
New users should go through the courses Salesforce provides to understand what they can build and cannot do using the solution. Users should be clear about what they want before using the solution. The mobile accessibility of Salesforce Sales Cloud is easy and has improved over the years.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
