Naga Kiran: I'm Naga Kiran. I'm technical lead working in L&T Infotech. Our company is in technical side. We implement Salesforce technology for many companies. Rating I give for Salesforce Service Cloud is four out of five. Salesforce Service Cloud is used in our company as a ticketing system. Previously, we used to have Legacy ServiceNow ticketing system, but now we have replaced with Salesforce Service Cloud. So, that is where we are using it for now. Salesforce Service Cloud offers us many configuration stuff. You don't want to know program to design like Automated Logic. Instead, you have lot of automation in-built in Salesforce. Salesforce provides that to us, so that we can use in our environment and it will be useful for achieving all the service-related issues. One thing that I like the most about Salesforce Service Cloud is it offers lots of automation, which can be easily... It's point-and-click interaction. You don't want to learn coding also. It's just point-and-click interaction, where you can achieve those automations. For example, you can create different teams. In support system, you require different teams, right? So, you can create different teams and you can measure the quantity, how much days it is staying in the queues. Everything can be done easily in the point-and-click interaction in Salesforce Service Cloud. One thing which I feel bad about Salesforce Service Cloud is the license cost. The license cost feels a little bit more when you compare with the competitors. Second thing is the UI. It is offering us Salesforce Lightning, but still that UI is not up to HTML standards. There, Salesforce can improve a bit.
