Service Cloud: A Review

  • December 15, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the managing of support process that Salesforce allows and how you can pivot fast to test or implement new support processes. Also, support processes via the Service Cloud are highly flexible and can be as simple or complex as you need them to be.
What do you dislike about the product?
In order to get Service Cloud up and running, you will definitely need to have an implementation partner. All the moving parts can be a bit much to juggle for those first venturing into the Service Cloud. It is a time consuming and complicated process. After you get it up and running, fine tuning and getting things purring is another beast. However, will all that being said, it is worth the investment and is no different for any other robust cloud software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business we are trying to solve/address is churn rates. The great thing about Service Cloud is that if you ask the right questions, you will get the answers you need. We have realized why and how our accounts churn and we have devised AB test to address them. Service Cloud has given us the flexibility to quickly form hypothesis about our business, test them, and address them accordingly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understand and map our your business processes if you haven't done so already. Understanding your support process, as it currently is, will help in implementation. Furthermore, learn how to ask the right questions about your business and be able to test your customers constantly to help improve your service. Service Cloud excels at this and for it to be as good as you need it to be, you need to be constantly testing and reverifying assumptions and ideas you have about how you run and support your business.

Benefits Support Team's in Closing Cases

  • December 13, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I think the layout of Service cloud fosters faster closure of cases due to the most information they would need being accessible with less extra on the page.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a change the teams have to get used to and when things are not in the same place they are used to it can cause retraining
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business problems are to tailor the system to be as easy to use as possible because our support teams case load has slowly been increasing. Making sure the tool doesn't cause a bottleneck is incredibly important.

Service cloud has been extremely helpful when tracking our customer service issues and open cases

  • December 13, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how we're constantly reminded of open cases. This was a big issue for our customer service because occasionally issues would fall through the cracks and we would end up with a unhappy client.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have more training materials on Service Cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have less unhappy customers because issues are being handled no matter how many months have passed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it some time to get familiar with before making a decision.

Used Service Cloud for 4+ years for mulitple clients.

  • December 13, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
a. Flexibility of modeling Salesforce for business use case.
b. Native Case Management with blend of workflows and approval process.
c. Real time health check on service via Reports and Dashboard.
d. Support on Success Community is really appreciated.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are several and is difficult to jot them in this survey. A few in the hit list are:

a. Limitations of Process Builder (there are lots of problems).
b. Ideas on Idea Exchange sit for years and never get implemented even when it is on threshold. Although there are stages defined but ideas are not delivered, seems SF product team is real picky on what can be delivered. If an idea can not be matured as a feature at least there needs to be a status that says ""Can not be delivered" rather than lingering around for years.
c. Case Comments needs to be added in Salesforce 1, for institutions that are in Higher Ed domain and making use of Salesforce 1, there is no real benefit of using it as it lacks the ability to add comments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation limitations with total number of workflows: On our instance we had exceed the maximum number of active workflows and was left on a stand still stage where no further implementations could be made. We therefore were forced to hire a developer to move all possible workflows to APEX and then move newer implementations to Process Builder. At this stage process builder have its own limitations and specific construct to use to automate business.

This may be straight forward to Salesforce as a company but, this really gets a client in black hole as an administrator can not stop the service of existing clients and no further clients can be onboarded.

Keeping the team honest and the organization humming!

  • December 13, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The analytics and reporting engine for the service cloud is superb. It is intuitive, clear, and provides the data I need with a click. The fact that I can produce dashboards for the team to review and monitor is an added bonus that no other platform does.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most cumbersome thing about Salesforce is that to configure the system, you almost always need to hire a consultant. The fact that they make it a money making machine for other organizations is annoying to say the least. Luckily, we put it in the time to configure it properly, so it wasn't a repeat offence.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Salesforce for all incident review and resolution. We also use this as a knowledge base for our technicians and customers. The knowledge base has decreased our case volume by 20% and allowed our technicians to be trained quickly with lots of reference material.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure that when you go through the demo's that they are showing you the full integration for email. Configuring this later is extremely pricey.

Inbound Marketing Manager

  • December 13, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Completely customizable to your company's workflow and sales structure. It's in the cloud so we can access it anywhere with an internet connection. If you can think of it, you can do it in Salesforce.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not the easiest software to learn -- because it's so customizable -- and it's not the prettiest. It can be slow and frustrating to work with at times, but it's the most comprehensive sales CRM out there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Salesforce Service Cloud helps us ensure that every lead is being followed up with throughout the entire sales funnel. With our entire company using Salesforce, we can all see the activity history and interactions we've had with every contact.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure your Salesforce instance is set up correctly from the beginning, otherwise big headaches will occur down the road that may be too difficult to fix -- causing a near permanent inefficiency in our organization.
