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.

Reasons for Switching to Salesforce Service Cloud: We chose Salesforce over Hubspot due to its reputation. Salesforce is #1 for a reason. This tool is by far the most intelligent.

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

Salesforce! Great TOOL All-around!

5.0 last year

Comments: Using Salesforce every day is great for workflow procedures. The layout look and design are easy to navigate and use. The ease of finding documents is a must when you are trying to get a task done in a timely manner.

Pros:

Salesforce has dome of the greatest admin tool. it is also a good import tool of documents and procedures that are needed for everyday resources and procedures.

Cons:

you cannot use Salesforce on the mobile app to merge duplicate documents. This would be great as an on-the-go task. Convenience is a great thing when it is at your fingertips! Other than that, I can't think of anything at the moment, but with all implements, there is always room for improvement!
