### "Best-in-class CRM and support solution"

October 16, 2023

4.0

It's a win-win for both your business and your customers. Customer service has been boosted as a result. The help and service provided to customers has improved. It makes work more adaptable and scalable.

Pros

Anyone can pick it up and start using it right away. Numerous special functions help users grasp the situation and perform effectively. Learning about and using Salesforce is a requirement of using Service Cloud.

Cons

I wish I could send out a mass email to all of my accounts and track their activities in one place. In a broad sense, that would assist advisors save time. It would be convenient if a call could be recorded for more than two accounts at once.

Storage space for a large amount of information about callers and potential customers. It's well-structured, so advisors can quickly find what they need and comprehend it. The ability to check up a person's name, address, or phone number is fantastic.

March 19, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with sales force service cloud was a positive one. It showed a tremendous amount of information so we could make the customer experience better and could handle the call efficiently.

Pros

What I liked most about salesforce service cloud was that any information that you needed to know about the customer was located in sales force and we didn’t have to navigate other systems.

Cons

Salesforce service cloud could be overwhelming when learning how to navigate around for the first time. There are many different ways to find out the industry so you would have to know the proper pathway.

### "Improve your CRM experience and customer relations better with Salesforce"

June 22, 2026

5.0

The overall experience about salesforce is great as it helps in managing CRM. It allows team to access customer data. Also, we can use AI tools easily from IOS to Android. Its easier to review the information via dashboards.

Pros

Salesforce is the great application for getting overall experience in CRM. It helps in maintaining the data logs, time entries. Its easier to check the sales pipeline. It helps in social media marketing.

Cons

The only cons which affected me is its pricing, its bit costly. If the cost might have been bit low then it would have no cons i guess.

My overall experience was on the customer service side. It's a great call management customer support tool.

Pros

I like that is a very easy ticket management system, it allows for our tech support to provide great customer support. I am not familiar with value for money, bugs and issues, creating user accounts, but I do know it's used a part of call management and has great security.

Cons

There is not much to say in terms of cons for Salesforce Service Cloud. It helps my colleagues get their jobs done so what more can you ask.

March 16, 2023

5.0

### "Easy to implement, good data management"

June 13, 2022

4.0

Keeping track of and following up with my clients was made easier, and I was able to see an overall picture of my month's performance thanks to the data it provided. Because of it, I am able to come up with innovative ideas for our company. When you create a solution that can be used almost indefinitely, you need to be able to scale it. There is no end to what can be done here.

Pros

Because I've been using it for six years, I've become accustomed to it. It's also easier to use when you have all the information you need about the lead, the firm, and your calling app all on the same page. The best aspect is that you'll have a lot of options when it comes to finding new customers for your business. You'll have no trouble seeing and pursuing the best prospects.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to tell which information is helpful and which is negative since there's so much of it out there. It's difficult to gain hands-on experience with different options.

### "Salesforce Experience"

May 21, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience with Salesforce has been amazing and love how much potential uses for all of the features it houses.

Pros

Salesforce is amazing because it allows you to create multiple actions all under 1 windows tab. It is also amazing how it has integrated AI functionality to be utilized to house knowledge material and can recommend these resources to you in real time based on the cases you create within your interaction.

Cons

With AI being so new, there are many times when the Salesforce system misses the mark and does not provide the suggested material needed to navigate and sometimes provides incorrect information.

### "Reliable backbone for our daily Ops"

April 24, 2025

5.0

Keeping customer records safe and accessible across teams, whether in the office or working remotely, has been made possible with the help of Google Cloud. That kind of constancy ensures I’m able to respond more quickly and accurately, which directly impacts how seamless the customer experience is.

Pros

Google Cloud is the stability and speed with which it handles our daily backend tasks. Our customer database, shared docs and even the support ticket system are all services hooked in to Google Cloud and they’re all up most of the time. That reliability is a big deal when you’re trying to help customers in real time.

Cons

It gets too technical, you are trying to fix something without IT. If a setting or permission needs to be changed, I have to wait for the tech team to jump in sometimes. Also, the billing dashboard isn’t the most straightforward to interpret.

May 31, 2022

5.0

It have been a very good platform to work on, I love the fact that I can create a view for each agent's box and I can easily view all their solved cases.

Pros

I love the live chat function because we get to speak to our valued customer's and resolve their customers in real time, this also helps to reduce the email contact.

Cons

I wish I could be able to see if someone opened a case before I accessed it, this would help me know as pa QA whether some of my agents are avoiding certain cases or not.
