Salesforce Sales Cloud Reviews for Indian Users
Just made the switch for the better,

Salesforce average review
Comments: Sales Manager at a high end restaurant for 10 years using Salesforce.
Pros:
Easy access for users. Helpful for all to navigate.
Cons:
Too many steps and does not integrate with outlook as easy as other products.
Best CRM software on the market!
Pros:
I love that Salesforce allows you to configure your org as much as you want, even if you find something not possible right away, you can always look for some third-party app on AppExchange or create some custom code to make your usecase work! It provides you with training on their Trailhead platform, where you can earn badges and valuable certifications. As far as for the sales features, it allows you to fully manage all your sales processes in it. It is super intuitive for beginners and really easy to work on!
Cons:
I think the price is the only downside of this solution. This is one of the most expensive CRM software on the market, but it is still understandable why. For someone who looks at the price not knowing it's pros it will just look big, but for a person who sees a value with automating sales processes and decreasing manual work within your sales or support team - it really makes sense.
Alternatives Considered: HubSpot CRM
Reasons for Choosing Salesforce Sales Cloud: The previous software was very limited and we just couldn't grow as an org with solution not designed for our needs.
Switched From: Freshsales
Reasons for Switching to Salesforce Sales Cloud: It is not as flexible as Salesforce, we wanted to do as much as we can and develop it continuously

Reasons for Switching to Salesforce Sales Cloud: It was all-incompassing of what we needed.

Sales Force Sales Cloud is--- Industry Leader Comprehensive Feature Set Scalability Customization and Flexibility Integration Ecosystem User Experience Community and Support
Salesforce Sales Cloud - User Friendly-ish
Comments: Overall, Salesforce Sales Cloud has been very pleasant to use, but it could use a few updates to make reports, claims, and general population of month statistics more user-friendly.
Pros:
Salesforce Sales Cloud is a very organized platform that makes it easy to see what projects are being completed and prioritize things that need immediate action.
Cons:
When running reports and needing to see the total of monetary value items, there is a difficulty in determining if this can be done within the report itself or if in needs to be completed on the dashboard. This is confusing in itself but also leads to difficulty when going between a PC unit and a mobile phone or iPad app version.
Powerful CRM for Driving Sales Growth
Comments:
Overall, Salesforce Sales Cloud is a very useful and powerful CRM that increases sales efficiency and customer relationship management.

Salesforce, a practical and useful tool.
Comments: Salesforce is a tool that I use on a daily basis, so my overall experience is pretty good, there are only details to be corrected. It's a useful tool that definitely helps me to provide a good customer service and keep record of each ticket I create.
Pros:
I enjoy creating tickets using Salesforce because it's practical and functional, and you can navigate easily in each ticket. This helps to have each ticket's information faster.

Sometimes it glitches when you detach an article and you have to refresh the entire page and the content of a case comment goes lost if you don't save it first.
Salesforce cloud is giving us the high ride
Comments: when we start using this SF we were admiring that this adjustable CRM arrangement of any business. Effectively alter work processes, reports, dashboards and connection point. Long haul answers for associations with developing necessities. More we spent time and more we got the skills and there was huge growth in our sales as well because we were improving ourselves by analyzing the numbers on dashboard
Pros:
We recently switched to this cloud and we are getting huge benefit because SF cloud is our best CRM with regards to overseeing information, accounts, contacts, pipelines and valuable open doors. Salesforce cloud genuinely figure out our necessities, cycles, and business to propose and help us with giving the best answer for us.
Cons:
The cost is comparatively high in the market. Extraordinary for information capacity, yet restricted usefulness for examination. I need to send out information each time I need to break down it, on the grounds that the dashboarding usefulness is restricted.
Salesforce Sales - To manage all the information related to your Accounts
Comments:
After some time getting around and knowing the tool, it became my "single point" to manage my portfolio of Accounts.
I could find all the information about my Accounts, develop business plans or understanding how many times a Customer had interacted with my company.
It provide me with a 360º view of my customers.
Pros:
The huge range of options with that you can personalize SalesForce Sales Cloud. How you can deploy a stable solution to your salesforce teams, worldwide, allowing global companies to align their "way of work" across all the geographies. As an example, it allows companies to use it just as a CRM or even as CRM plus, track open tickets related to their accounts, manage bids and contracts negotiations (even between internal teams).
Cons:
Having so many options to customize, giving you the possibility of interconnecting information from several teams, in one huge CRM tool - relating it to your Accounts, has the negative aspect of having to much information on the same tool. This leads to some difficulty handling and supporting the users, across the several tabs of information available. And to some complexity for the users to navigate around all the info of one specific Account. Salesforce has done their best to facilitate this, and avoid the outcome of "too much information in one place", for the end-users to access.
Salesforce sales cloud is very helpful for businesses.
Comments: My overall experience with salesforce salesforce cloud is good. It provides multiple ways for customization and implementation. We can easily and securely connect the salesforce sales cloud with other cloud or third-party applications. It provides standard and custom ways to build business automation. It has multiple data import and export tools. We can analyze data using salesforce reports and dashboards.

Salesforce sales cloud keeps data aggregated which helps to grow the business. We can get the leads by using powerful looks like web-to-lead and email-to-lead. Once leads are qualified we can convert those leads to accounts and contacts easily. Salesforce sales cloud provides different automation to make business automated.
Cons:
Salesforce sales cloud is a very strong platform but it is very expensive for small and medium-sized businesses.
It is worth it!
Comments: Salesforce is an excellent CRM solution for businesses needing powerful customer relationship tools, rich data analytics, and seamless integration with third-party applications. While the platform comes with a steep learning curve and significant costs, its flexibility and extensive features make it a worthy investment for businesses ready to dive in fully.
Pros:
Their powerful CRM capabilities are beyond any other similar system out there. The ability to customize it to meet our needs and automate a lot of the workflows are key points that lead me to enjoy using this product.
Cons:
It is on the pricier side of the spectrum. Setting it up and customizing it can be complex, so it is important to learn the product beforehand and performing some trial and error.

Pros:
As someone who self-taught themselves how to use the software for mass email marketing, Salesforce is super beginner friendly.

The process for updating distribution lists is quite tedious and can easily be messed up and need to be reevaluated.
Works okay, if LATENCY does not exist
Comments: Maybe I am used to the latency issue, it sucks but you have to get used to it since most of my work are in Salesforce; it's still helpful to use. but overall it's very usable.
Pros:
It's customizable. The feature where you are allowed to make your own report and customize your own page depending on your needs it's really helpful.

The LATENCY. It really sucks, sometimes some of the information would not load, would be stuck on the screen or does not respond.
