Personal experience
Comments: My overall Salesforce experience has been very positive. The platform has proven to be extremely user-friendly and intuitive, making it simple to customize and manage the system.
Pros:
Salesforce appeals to me because it is a simple, cloud-based platform for managing customer relationships, tracking leads, and automating sales processes.
Cons:
The least that I liked aspect of Salesforce is its complexity. It is a powerful platform, but it can be difficult to learn and use, especially for non-technical or inexperienced users.
SalesForce for the small user
Comments: We were attempting to organize our internal processes in Salesforce, granted our process were not well developed, our hope was we could fine tune processes and implement them in Salesforce. We share the blame for the difficulty because we really needed better developed processes, but we were pretty early in the development of our business. Probably should have waited a couple years before turning to SalesForce.
Pros:
Great functionality, decent customer support and training were available to us. We found when we ran into issues, we had difficulty getting someone to help us
Cons:
Too cumbersome for a small organization. We were always working on the implementation versus running the daily business.
Would not recommend.
Comments: We were originally using Work.com before it was acquired by Salesforce. After being acquired, Salesforce had changed the user interface to be more consistent with their other products. Unfortunately, a lot of the functionality that was on the old Work.com was taken away and now less user friendly. While you can run more extensive reports, it is very difficult and not easy to do. Our employees do not like using this system to complete performance reviews. The good thing about this system is Chatter - being able to share information as well as the recognition tools have been highly utilized.
Pros:
Chatter - sharing information with colleagues as well as recognition badging system
Cons:
Goal Setting and Performance Reviews Expensive
Salesforce is one of the bestest and comfortable softwares to work and complete daily tasks.
Comments: I personally like it, is one of the bestes platforms compare to the others I used in past works
Pros:
I actually like that everything is super easy to find, if I need to find my client's documents I can do it really fast and even call them or send them an email through it.
Cons:
I could say that the set up is a little complex but you can handle it.
SF has a lot of features but isn't intuitive at all to use; you have to learn a difficult language to use it.
Comments: We recently purchased Fonteva to record our registrations for a national conference. It was a nightmare, and wouldn't do even the most basic functions without adding on expensive services. We had to sort our reports by hand to get even the simplest name badge information: first, last, state, organization. It was very disappointing that it couldn't communicate better with SF as it had been sold to us.
Pros:
Has many features and options that can do many things to track donors, sales, record contacts, follow up and make notes on activity history. It keeps record of event specifics by campaign and allows us to communicate with our trained volunteers across the nation, making it an effective tool for inspiring and encouraging them.
Cons:
When trying to track specific information, and create a viable report, you have to know it's language and fill in every field perfectly, or you'll never get what you want. I always have to ask for our certified tech for help, and she often has to ask for help from SF, which costs us money. It's not easy to use at all.
My Experience In SalesForce.
Comments: Aside from the glitches (which to be honest, any platform is going to have at least some), I generally enjoy the software. It does not have great aesthetic appeal, but it does the job we need it to, and that's what matters.
Pros:
Powerful software to keep a massive company working together. I work for a Billion dollar company, so it's a tough job to keep it's staff in rhythm. SF enables us to keep that up as much as possible. We can communicate in a variety of ways, and it integrates pretty seamlessly with our company email provider.
Cons:
Can be hard to find clients' files - there are glitches that mean searching multiple ways to track these files down. It's frustrating, because we do NOT want to miss anything or create a duplicate client file. For example, if I am looking for a specific company in Louisiana, typing the company name is rarely sufficient. I will likely need to look by 1) phone number, 2) address, 3) variations on address (e.g. the street number and name of town), 4) zip code only, 5) partial company name, 6) company entity, 7) members and/or officers of that company. Sometimes we will quite literally do each of those steps, and we STILL cannot find that file in SF, even though it is most definitely there and one of us created it. This is an issue I run into multiple times a day, and one I've adjusted to, but I know our entire team would be greatful if the seach function of Salesforce was a bit more robust/comprehensive.
Great Product - Be Ready to Customize
Pros:
- User Friendly - Extremely Customizable (see cons) - Integrates across the business - Give ability to track and measure business
Cons:
- Not as plug-and-play as one would hope - Training and adoption across the team can be a challenge - not cheap
Great tool to communicate corporate goals
Comments: We implemented Work.com globally, starting with alignment, feedback and thanks and later rolled-out performance summaries. We were looking for a single approach to performance management that would be accepted throughout the organization and after considering other options decided on Work.com. It included all the components that we felt were critical and was easy to use and implement.
Pros:
Great tool to communicate corporate goals and link depratment and individual goals to the overarching company objectives. Simplifies the annual review process and incorporates 360 degree feedback. Very responsive account management and support teams.
Cons:
1) Driving adoption requires constant diligence. 2) Users are sometimes confused about when to use Chatter versus Work.com. 3) The reporting capabilities are quite limited.
Next Gen of Performance Management
Comments: I would rank Work.com very high. The only reason it is not a 5, is that there are some areas that could still use improvement (see cons) and also, it is fairly complex so does require a dedicated person to really work with it and be the company "go to" in my opinion. Otherwise, I do believe it is a very good product and the most comprehensive but "fun" Performance Management product out there.
Pros:
Lots of good videos to help users learn and use the product. Great interface as it is very easy to work in and very "social media" like. Friendly and helpful staff, including the support folks!! Has a "top of the line" feel for a Perf. Mgt. tool
Cons:
A lot to learn about. Reports not very good. Need to improve how Performance Summaries are administered (have to know HTML code, which I don't).
Salesforce Work.com: great for work continuity in any bussiness
Comments: Very useful in a project for the continuity of work during the pandemic, great for knowing the performance of the departments in your business
Pros:
Ease of deployment with a lot of functionalities already integrated in the start package
Cons:
Requires a good knowledge of salesforce in general especially if you want to customize the dashboard or add surveys
Terrific account management, order processing, sales management, reporting and then some platform!
Comments: In general, it is an amazing tool that helps productivity and sales management performance, I highly recommend it!
Pros:
Ease of use Complete tool used by the entire team; sales, account management, finance, operations, product delivery Customization Workflow processes for account management and project management Integration with marketing platforms such as Watson/IBM Silverpop for email marketing Add-on modules such as Wave, a truly amazing reporting module Ability to create custom proposals, contracts, work orders in one click Integration with Outlook
Cons:
Some data entry can be mundane Some of the set-up is quirky but that could also be at our request from initial set up years ago
As a manager - this is amazing.
Pros:
I love salesforce work.com - it's an amazing tool to engage employees and to make reward them for a job well done. The feature of offering immediate feedback is fantastic.
Cons:
Price. That is all I can say about any salesforce product is the price tends to be incredibly high, making it difficult for large teams.
Love Everything SalesForce!
Pros:
I love everything that is SalesForce! i appreciate the time the sales people take to walk you through how it works. It's simply and easy to use.
Cons:
I know I may sound slightly contradicting, but there is a LOT with SalesForce and it can be somewhat overwhelming. But that's not a reason to not like it!
Work.com: Cultural Amplifier
Comments: We all know culture isn't something you can bottle and sell. It forms organically from the people who are grouped together by a shared mission. In organizations, leaders look for ways to amplify culture to their employees to promote alignment and fit. Work.com has been a great amplifier of our culture as we can recognize people for not only stellar work product, but for also going the extra mile to help out a colleague which is a major component in our culture we strive to amplify.
Pros:
The ability for employees to publicly thank individuals and teams and for the recognition to double as real-time & specific feedback is a major pro of Work.com. Coaching Notes and Goals help foster healthy alignment between managers and reports.
Cons:
Really can't think of any specific to the tool itself. I miss when Work.com was Rypple because I liked the smaller company feel and didn't feel like it was being pushed for sales-based organizations only.
style over substance
Comments: it may have improved since I used it
Pros:
it has a good graphic user interface (GUI) very windowsesuqe and therefore quite usable. It is a nice clear visual.
Cons:
not very easy to navigate, things were not where i expected to find them, and needed several clicks to get to what you wanted
Salesforce Work.com
Comments: Salesforce Work.com is a great step in the right direction to seeing the full scale of your organization's work ethic. Not quite up to par with other products out there to measure the same thing, but it's getting there.
Good for sales and marketing
Pros:
An amazing software to develop the sales and marketing with all the required data in and analyze them to get better results.
Cons:
It has multiple user and each update them causing some conflicts and also the data collection becomes little difficult.
works perfectly and efficiently using Work.com
Comments: Work.com is new in the market but very efficient. Its help to make organization performance to run smooth, tracking all the performance matrices etc.
Pros:
1. Its helps driving performance of the company 2. Motivate the team , individual of the company
Cons:
Price is high
Easy to use, depending on customizations
Comments: I had used Salesforce as a PTO tracker my company had set up. Overall the software was very intuitive & easy to figure out. The only issues were the customization that my company had implemented. It was an illogical process, which made the tool a little more difficult to use. I have a feeling that had it just been the out-of-the-box solution, it would've worked just fine.
Pros:
Very intuitive & easy to figure out.
Cons:
Be wary of custom implementations that aren't well-thought-out.
