InMoment XI Platform vs. Salesforce Experience Cloud

InMoment VOC is well suited for any hospitality-based company that is guest-centric. It's like receiving a report card every day with info about what we are doing well and where we need to improve. I like how we were able to customize so many things like how often our managers receive emails and how organized guest recovery is now. I don't care for the reply templates. I don't like the idea of a guest feeling the reply is robotic in any way. Especially, if the guest reaches out more than once and the team uses the template provided in the system again. I think it takes away from the sincerity of the managers' response.

Salesforce Experience Cloud is well-suited for organizations that have clients who periodically or routinely need to access historical data or documents. The product also offers an exceptionally effective tool to engage with customers around support/service issues and the entire Case management functionality built into the Salesforce platform. The product might be less well-suited in environments where there is exceptionally high staff turnover within customer accounts, or where there is a substantial lack of very basic computer skills.

• Houses all of our information in one convenient location that everyone at any time can access
• Praise and coach our employees on customer service
• Problem solve using the reporting tools such as add criterion to narrow down on specific points of interest. I love how detailed the reports can be, it really takes the guess work out of problem solving

Incentivized

• Complete integration with the Salesforce ecosystem. Data displayed in your Community portal reflects records from a Sales Cloud organization
• Highly customizable. A Community Cloud portal can be totally customized both visually and with different funcionalities with little to no coding skills required

• I wish we could edit some of the information on our end. Sometimes it takes a little while to get access issues resolved from the support team going back and forth in emails.

• The documentation for implementing Experience Cloud can be a bit confusing as their rebranding hasn't made it's way into all articles, resulting in different terminology being used to refer to the same thing
• Some things are not as intuitive regarding their customizability, so there's a bit of a learning curve (i.e. Lightning apps can't be used to customize layouts in Experience Cloud)

Usability is pretty streamlined, especially if you're familiar with other Salesforce products, but even if not, take it from me, as I just entered the technological space about two years ago, that this product is pretty simple to learn. You don't have to jump in with your head underwater. Small wins and learnings along the way are what foster long-term understandings and enable your evolution alongside the product. I definitely recommend Salesforce Trailhead along with it

It's delivered on our original requirements and we've found ways to grow its usage. We continue to build on our original success and we can report our data out to leadership to show a true return on investment which is great for growing support and expanding uses for the system.

We have weekly calls with our Salesforce reps. They bring new ideas to the table and help with taxonomy builds. They have also answered many questions and connected us to the right people for us to grow our knowledge and utilization of the platform. They are a good partner overall in comparison.

I have used Datatel/Colleague/Recruiter before. There were issues because only one person at the institution was able to have the student's record open at a time. This was problematic when collaboration between departments was necessary especially in the case of admissions, financial aid, and registration. We also had to do our work and then log out before asking a questions of another department. Sometimes simultaneous use was necessary. However, this was years ago and they may have since updated the program.

• Our Guest Care dept. became more efficient and productive overnight when we adopted the InMoment systems. Too many hours of tedious work was being done internally to track and report trends. The guest was taken care of but the root of the problem was solved. InMoment provides us with the tools needed to do so which boosts sales.

Incentivized

• Improved online admission application completion rates from mid-60%s to mid-80%s.
• Positive user experience from start-to-finish to leverage one data system for all prospective student data
• Fewer data integrations transforming and loading sensitive student data by leveraging Salesforce Community Cloud to access already existing data
