“Navigating Support and Feature Clarity Presents Challenges With This Software”

3.0
Jun 23, 2025
Their support is extremely difficult to extract answers from. The software is non-intuitive and often requires custom coding to meet the full potential. It's almost impossible to track user interactions with a knowledge base, for example.

User Sentiment About Salesforce Sales Cloud

Salesforce Sales Cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

Flexibility and functional diversity. I used the software for customer relations and found it met almost all my needs.

Like

When it works, it works really well. The centralization of customer contacts is extremely helpful. Managing Knowledge articles is largely seamless and relatively intuitive.

Like

What I really enjoy most about Salesforce Sales Cloud is the various views and information you can quickly pull on an account. It makes finding the information you need simple and easy. Oftenttimes I have used other services and finding relative information has been difficult to find or not in the best most visable place. Salesforce Sales Cloud keeps it simple, easy, and helps move our business forward.

Dislike

It requires quite a lot of training and constant learning to maximise its use. There's a steep learning curve and it's not the most naturally intutive system

Dislike

It is almost impossible to figure out how to do things on your own; it's not clear if any given item is a feature or a bug.

Dislike

Often I will click on buttons or change stages in an opportunity, and it takes several clicks or seconds to wait before the information has loaded. I wish the buttons were improved upon and much quicker when it comes to selecting different menus and options within the service.

    The platform facilitates business management but presents challenges in customization

    It's a key tool for managing our sales process and improving customer follow-up. The platform offers an intuitive and highly functional interface that facilitates the sales team's work. Some customizations and processes may be complex at first and require dedicated training.
