Salesforce CRM Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
I am using Salesforce CRM every day as one of our main tools with RingCentral to help customers and businesses. I can see my pipeline and manage my deals effectively. I can create a customized report and see all the data I need in a dashboard. I can also check all the customer information that I need as a Sales Account Executive. This is also the tool that we use to set up a new account or process a change order for the customer's plans and services. Another good thing about it is that it is integrated with all the other applications that we are using at work. It helps all communications between RingCentral and its customers be centralized. That's why I find it very helpful, easy, and manageable to use. Lastly, it has a guide and support if you need help with something that you don't know about.

Easy integration with interactive storytelling capabilities but needs to improve data preparation features
What is our primary use case?
My primary use case of Tableau was in conjunction with Salesforce to enhance my data visualization and analysis capabilities.
Tableau empowers users to delve into their data deeply, effortlessly unlocking valuable insights and critical information. It's got a user-friendly interface and extensive visualization capabilities that allow me to create compelling reports and dashboards that help me make better decisions.
How has it helped my organization?
Tableau has greatly enhanced our organization's data-driven decision-making processes by enabling us to create visually compelling reports and dashboards.
This capability has led to better communication between teams. Despite some limitations associated with custom data connectors, Tableau has proven to be an invaluable tool for aggregating data from multiple sources, offering us a complete view of our operations.
This comprehensive perspective has allowed us to identify trends, make informed decisions, and optimize our strategies, ultimately leading to increased efficiency and competitiveness in our industry.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Tableau for our organization have been the interactive storytelling capabilities and easy integration with Salesforce. We can create visual descriptions of data, making complex information accessible and interesting to all sides. This feature enables us to effectively communicate data-driven insights.
In addition, our integration with Salesforce provides access to critical sales data in real-time, which facilitates quick decision-making and improves customer relationship management. Together, these features enable us to get the most out of our information assets, which helps us to develop informed actions and strategies.
What needs improvement?
Tableau is excellent at visualizing data, however, I think improving the data preparation features would be a great addition. Navigating through activities like cleansing, reshaping, and wrangling extensive or complicated datasets could prove challenging within the Tableau environment.
Also, the settings for working with complex datasets also need to be changed. In the next version, it would be good to add user-friendly resources for beginners, such as interactive tutorials and templates, to make Tableau even more accessible to a wider audience.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for more than three months.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
