### "The Best Field Service Platform"

January 31, 2025

5.0

I have a total of 2.5 years experience in Salesforce Field Service

Pros

Salesforce FSL helps our team to provide solution for end customers with its AI driven scheduling & Optimization. Further, it helps to track the work orders by using service reports. Overall I like the Mobile app since its really helps the technicians to track their orders.

Cons

Sometimes the mobile app crashers and it affects the technicians to complete their orders on time.

### "BEWARE, This is not a stand alone product, it was developed to enhance Salesforce"

September 8, 2020

1.0

IT DOESN'T WORK . After countless meetings with Salesforce and the implementation team, they have admitted that it does not work as we were promised it would. But, they have an iron clad contract that does state that it doesn't matter if it works or not, you must pay. We have now been sent to collections. Their best offer for resolving the problem, was to offer us "Premier Service", which means someone will call you back with in an hour. Since regular service means they never call back, it might be worth something, but not for a program that doesn't work

Pros

The sales and marketing team promised that this software would solve all of our issues and problems.

Cons

We were told that it would take 3 months to build our instance. It has been over 18 months and we continue to pay for a non-functioning product. It is so complicated, the interface programmers have never been able to create and dispatch a work order using this product.

Alternatives considered

[FieldAware](https://www.capterra.com/p/120648/FieldAware/)

Reason for choosing Salesforce Field Service

Excellent false advertising by sales executives who are not held accountable for any false promises they make, regardless of the supporting documentation.

### "Great Field Service Product with a lot of depth"

July 31, 2019

5.0

We have a large field presence and FSL is vital to our business in scheduling and collecting info from the field

Pros

I self-implemented so the ability to quickly extend the package with flows was great

Cons

It took Salesforce awhile after acquisition to turn this into a real product, but it is rather impressive now

Very good! Easy to use across all departments and outstandingly easy to deploy across teams as a whole

Pros

Super easy to use. Great value for the money and allows multiple teams to collaborate. Can be buggy at times but never dead in the water.

Cons

Sometimes the amount of updates needed for our techs is a bit overwhelming. They are easily frustrated

### "Scaling with Salesforce Field Service"

December 13, 2023

4.0

Overall the experience is positive and we believe it will have a significant impact on our business. This includes our ability to increase service revenue through multi-trip work orders, and cut costs with tighter management of our inventory.

Pros

Field service allows us to update our inventory as it is used in the field, while also allowing us to track and bill for work orders with multiple site visits, and/or complicated multi-step solutions. Additionally, it allows us to visually track the schedules of more technicians while allowing us to set standards for our management team as it relates to fulfillment and billing.

Cons

As with all things salesforce, it is not simple to understand out of the box. May items are customized, and these are natural adjustments to the users. The implementing company you partner with is critical to getting things off the ground. It also requires at least one individual who is confident enough to tinker in the software and mobile application as small issues arise during implementation.

Reason for choosing Salesforce Field Service

Keeping it simple for our team and limiting the number of products our people have to interact with on a given day.

### "One-Step solution"

July 3, 2021

4.0

Perfect app for a sales team to store data , follow-up , manage and save time. self enhance and used to increase statistics of management and the best thing is it is cost effective as if we want to run our own software, we need to focus on many things like infrastructure, software developer team and a separate wing for the team to handle the software and security issues. This is the one step solution for all the problems for any kind of organization. I particularly recommend for small and medium scale organizations to use this app which helps them economically and mentally also

Pros

I like many features in this app. 1. The first thing I want to address here is about its security. This app carries customer data base which is confidential and we can trust this app very much. 2. We can follow-up very efficiently. Set up reminders and even we can send quotations, we can manage every activity in this app 3. Record every activity and calculate our daily, monthly and yearly performance which not only helps the management , but also helps in our personal growth in the channel.

Cons

To me this is the perfect app and I don't have any complaints regarding this app .

March 18, 2020

5.0

This software has changed the way we schedule and run our daily routes.

Pros

We implemented this software in our scheduling and it has drastically cut down on our field teams travel times. Very helpful.

Cons

There are a lot of forms to fill out to get the software running correctly. 6 months in and we still are battling some bugs.

### "Extrem schlechte Entwicklung "

February 17, 2025

1.0

Ich frage mich, wie man so etwas zur Benutzung freigeben kann. Nach dem Absturz muss die App neu installiert werden, alle eingegebenen Daten sind dann verschwunden und müssen erneut eingegeben werden. Zur Synchronisation benötigt man eine extrem schnelle Internetverbindung, sonst dauert die Synchronisation ewig. Wer sich als Unternehmen überlegt, diese App zu nutzen, sollte sich lieber vorher die Lösungen von kompetenteren Entwicklern ansehen.

Pros

Leider gibt es nichts positives über diese App zu berichten.

Cons

Stürzt ständig ab und ist wohl in der Bedienung die mit Abstand schlechteste App, die ich je gesehen habe. Völlig überlagerte und unübersichtliche Menu-Führung

### "Review for Salesforce"

March 2, 2026

5.0

At the end of the story, it is worth of it's price and I definitely recommend it for your company. use it and enjoy

Pros

I've seen competitors costing even more and performing less than Salesforce, so i can't complain now.

Cons

It is still a costly service, but at the same time, prices are going higher and higher, and we need to choose a better value for our money

### "Must have for field techs- no downtime"

August 5, 2019

4.0

I feel that it has helped us fix customer's issues more efficiently when we can connect with our field techs quickly, and inform them of any last minute scheduling changes via the app.

Pros

I love that there is virtually, even if our few field techs don't have internet. They can still access their schedules, see what vans/equipment is available, and we can also refer or send them articles ("manuals" ) to help them on jobs.

Cons

We are enjoying this software. Well, really used more as a mobile app by our few field techs, as our company still is small scale. I would also make this slightly cheaper.

Reason for choosing Salesforce Field Service

We tried this along with Salesforce for our Service Desk, and have not yet tried another since this is working quite well for us currently. We are in the process of "sandbox testing" another with a lower price point, but unsure if we are ready to implement any changes .

### "Excellent interface and ease of use "

June 5, 2020

5.0

Pros

Field Service Lightning has a beautiful interface for my team to find and schedule our field engineers to get to our customer sites. With the use of dynamic rules on how engineers are selected and the use of the area map is very helpful and it takes away the guessing of hoping we are selecting the correct personnel.

Cons

The user experience from the field engineer side using the IPhone app our team has heard a lot of complaints on how the notification is not loud enough and where notifications are not seen. Also where when they press on the accept button it does not always talk back to the software. Our solution to this was to go with a Salesforce integration that uses SMS when dispatch is selected on a case. I do have to note a factor on why this may be happening - our engineers are not always in great cell zones given we work in hospitals and x-ray rooms.

### "Sales force Field Service"

June 24, 2023

4.0

Pros

Sales force field service has been used for the allocation to work orders to a nationally deployed team of engineers. Allocating work orders is straight forward. Creation of the reports from the Engineer with the clients signatures is great and required to produce for customers. The system can quote for jobs too.

Cons

I have had quite a few issues with the loading of the dispatch console. The pop up appears but takes a very long time to load or crashes (connection checked and ok). Customising the system is difficult without in depth training.

### "Planet Salesforce Delving into Field Service"

December 12, 2019

3.0

It was just a mere upsell by the sales staff at Salesforce. We all know Salesforce it is a cut throat environment and it was a case of account executives looking for an easy upsell for their team's quota relief.

Pros

I like the fact that Salesforce is now in the field service industry with Field Service Lightning. This essentially means that Salesforce is no longer stuck within the four walls of the office and now has endless reach to all technicians in the field.

Cons

I strongly dislike that FSL's "Out of the Box" and extremely generic. There is little to know industry specific aspects associated with the software and there's a myriad of other SaaS softwares that are industry specific. FSL is not a one size fits all platform.

All our accounts and data are overall less overwhelming to manage

Pros

Their sales management and tracking interface helps our business easily manage all customer accounts

Cons

I wish customer support was more accessible. We have emailed and called, and their response time is always slow.

### "Salesforce CRM is great to use!!!!"

August 7, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with Salesforce Field is perfect, I love it!

Pros

Salesforce is the perfect tool to use during the work that I do. I work in the unemployment in the Department of Employment Services, and I use salesforce to keep track of every call, and take notes. I love how Sales force have different levels to how serious an issue from the caller can be. It is the perfect tool to use when you have a call center job.

Cons

I feel like Salesforce doesn't have anything to improve from what I use on the site.

### "Good software, but not for everyone"

July 24, 2019

4.0

Pros

It’s definitely leagues beyond paper work orders. Streamlines the process of adding parts, making notes, capturing signatures, etc.

Cons

It’s a catch-all solution in a world of very individual businesses. For some, I’m sure this software is exactly the ticket, but for a specialized service department working as a relatively small wing of a large business, this software can bring more headaches than solutions. Salesforce is great for the sales team and the account managers, but for the technicians, not so much.
