    Pros
    It was a fantastic experience and an essential for a company looking to better engage and retain customers on digital platforms.
    The code quality was awesome and the staff was super helpful. I think I'm getting the value for my money using this product.
    Superb integration with social media helping to leverage existing business relationships. Mobile functionality is also a positive.
    Cons
    Too many unused fields that muddy up the screen and info can get lost in all the blank fields.
    The prices are outrageous. As a small business owner; it is a horribly large pill to swallow to pay that steep of pricing- especially as you are beginning your journey of entrepreneurship.
    DO NOT try to use the tool as a task manger or PM supplement as it does not work well for these functions.

    Sales and Automation Software

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    Our experience using salesforce has been great. We primarily utilise it for invoicing and report generation of the overall view of the business. We also utilise it for our internal communications.

    Pros

    I like the interactive UI that makes access to varying tools and functionalities easy. I also like the mobile experience and the ability to integrate the software with third-party softwares. I also like the reporting tools that enhance prompt communication.

    Cons

    Salesforce can be very heavy when handling multiple pages which often leads to lags. There are additional issues that occur in customisation and merging of pages.

    a CRM must-have

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    Salesforce is great because you can work to keep track of real-time user and purchase analytics, customer support, customer complaints, and a variety of other CRM functions with the ease of storage and access in the cloud.

    Pros

    Salesforce makes it easy for companies to maintain an ongoing relationship with customers, prospects, or partners and to collect and monitor their data.

    Cons

    Quality of the price list is not for everyone.it's expensive

    Not great, unless you're super tight with Salesforce

    Reviewed 8 years ago

    We'd migrated from Zendesk, which is a system I will never ever have complaints about again after using Desk. As for some of the things I couldn't deal with: #1, and most egregious limitation: Only one agent can be working on a ticket at a time, and there's no way to kick out that other agent. Someone opens a ticket, then goes to lunch? Guess that customer isn't getting a response for the next...

    I use desk.com as the frontline customer service software to create and manage tickets.

    Reviewed 7 years ago
    Pros

    Desk is extremely customizable. We have a bunch of different inbound emails that automatically tag and assign tickets which saves us a lot of time. You can set up almost any combination of rules for inbound tickets to make sure your most important customers get prioritized and the right people get assigned to help. Desk also has an API that you can use to build a help center experience on top of their platform. We use it internally for bug reporting and feature requesting and our portal creates tickets right in desk.

    Cons

    Desk isn't very user friendly. Once it's set up it's works really well but it takes a lot of time to learn all the nuances of the configuration. The analytics have issues. Some of the metrics like last log in will show that I last logged in a month ago when I've logged in every day and am in fact logged in at the time. We don't use the metrics but if your customer service department relies on them that could be problematic.

    Fantastic but expensive.

    Pros

    I loved the thoroughness of Salesforce. It's by far the best CRM tool I've used. Everything that I want to do on it, I can.

    Cons

    It is EXPENSIVE! I love this software so much, but I had to cancel my subscription since it was too expensive for my budget.
