What I like most about sales cloud is its flexibility and scalability. The platform can be customized to match all kinds of sales process, which makes it suitable for both simple and complex organizations. Features like opportunity management, lead tracking helps sales teams stay organized and track more deals effectively. Automation features like flows, triggers, schedules are always my favourite to assist sales team in all kinds of sales process and stages.
It's a very configurable platform - there are some exceptions but as long as you don't go too wild, you can get a lot done through integration, automation and customer facing technology. SF is very clear in their roadmap about what is going to be supported and what isn't, which is helpful when planning purchases. Flow automation keeps getting better and better every season, but it's still not as intuitive as the older and now defunct Process Builder.
Sales Cloud covers nearly every aspect of the sales process - lead capture to opportunity tracking to forecasting and post-sale follow up. Historical data capture on fields that change over time is a massive advantage over other CRMs and makes up for some of the challenges that come with it.
One area that can sometimes be challenging is the initial setup and configuration. This is because it requires careful planning and experienced developers and administrators to design and maintain the system properly. Another aspect is that licensing and pricing may be a bit too much for SMBS and medium businesses.
The lack of care in bringing functionality that's been requested for multiple years, by multiple customers. SF is hell bent on AI adoption, at the expense of very simple, effective fixes.
The requirements for a third party tool to dedupe, manage lead routing, and run outbound sequences is a pain. Each tool has it's own cost, implementation, and learning curve to fit the use case. Also, why does the Lead object still exist?? Consolidating Leads and Contacts would simplify lifecycle stages and make reporting and lead management a lot easier.
