    Once I had to search the logs to find cases and data on a particular keyword, but I was not able to do so as there was no search tool available, nor was there a sort or filter tool. I was totally frustrated as I had to skim through the data to complete my task manually.

    My company works with a client who offers a SaaS solution to
    the beauty sector. We had been using Salesforce for three years but needed a
    system with lead nurturing, workflow automation, and user-friendliness that
    Salesforce lacked without a hefty monthly price tag.

    We are taking use of LeadMaster's eMarketing, automation,
    and workflow management capabilities as well as the streamlined nature of the
    Professional Edition. We've been able to better regulate the sales process and
    boost our conversion rate as a result.

    We have been very pleased with LeadMaster's customer service
    and would suggest their product without reservation.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Desk.com automatically tracks analytics on all cases coming in and going out.
    • Desk.com helps prevent multiple people from working on the same case. However, it does allow us to assign the case to someone else if we feel that person is more qualified to address the case.
    • Desk.com has very few bugs or server issues that we've seen. This helps prevent any delays in communicating with our customers.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Internal knowledge tools are clunky and annoying to access, outside the regular workflow of everyday staff
    • Arbitrary and confusing limitations in business rules and custom fields
    • Arbitrary and confusing limitations in case handling - for example, if you begin a case as a phone call you CANNOT email the customer from the case. As though no one working at Desk has ever sent a follow-up email...?
    • Not very good for B2B, mid-to-large businesses. Difficult to set business rules based on company information (for example, service level/tier) and nearly impossible to track key stakeholders and get clear insight into the relationship at a high level
    • Reporting tools are clunky, slow, and just all-around pretty useless

    We will be very likely to renew our contract with Desk.com. It is easy to use, and provides us with everything we need to keep our customers and employees happy. They have also been very helpful in catering the application to our specific and unique needs, including working across brands and adding specific content for our products

    Usability

    Desk.com and Salesforce Service Cloud's usability is seamless to get up and running, administer, and scale across the organization. It allows us to get up and running in days rather than weeks and has transformed our customer support teams globally into efficient, world-class teams. The best practices that the Salesforce and Desk.com teams provide are also very valuable, as we have the right case studies and tips to implement right away in our organization.

    My ability to more effectively manage the workflow in our office has been greatly enhanced by LeadMaster. Each member of my team is aware of the students they are responsible for recruiting and the specific process that should be followed with each and every one of them. The system also enables us to practically eliminate the use of paper in our process, which helps to reduce the number of different types of office errors.

    Their support leaves much to be desired. They do not respond quickly and do not follow up with feature requests. There is also a lack of on-demand or live training available for the teams to use as they learn a new tool. Because there is so much customization, a lot of questions do come up regularly.

    The reason to give this rating because of the following.

    1. Assessing the efficiency of campaigns involving
    several agencies and points of contact

    2. True close loop reporting

    3. The capacity to manage a channel through the use
    of features for updating leads and pipelines.

    4. Ensuring that no leads were lost and that they
    were always assigned to someone for follow-up, whether the lead originated
    through e-marketing, the filling out of a form on a website, or even a lead
    from a trade fair

    5. Creating a seamless connection between marketing
    and lead generating

    As I stated earlier, implementation of Desk.com went more smoothly than most. The resources in the "Support Center" are fantastic, and I never ran into anything that left me stumped, angry, or disappointed.

    Overall, it performs a lot better than all three combined, with a lot fewer glitches and a lot more user-friendly and user experience efficiency. Any new link that needs to be done, takes a lot less time to execute on desk compared to the three others. Simply advanced when it comes to execution this platform is.

    My client has been using Salesforce for the past two years,
    but they were looking for a system that would provide lead nurturing, workflow
    automation, and overall ease of use – functionality that was just not available
    within Salesforce without incurring a large, monthly fee. I'm using one of my
    clients who has been using Salesforce for the past two years.

    Because of LeadMaster's user-friendliness, robust automation
    and workflow management, and eMarketing capabilities, we have decided to employ
    the Professional Edition. As a result, we are able to better regulate the sales
    process and achieve a higher closure rate.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • Better customer service and employee efficiency when dealing with cases
    • It's so universal, meaning that everyone can use it and it's easy to understand.
    • The only negative impact is that our IT department who is assigned tickets has responded to customers instead of to the local reps and we have to ensure they know to change the email if it's assigned to them.
