Joule vs. Agentforce

Joule in SuccessFactors is well suited in case you just want to have a quicker way to execute quick actions for a couple of users, or if you extend Joule with some Joule skills. Apart from this at this point in Time I don't see a lot of default scenarios that Joule brings to the table in SuccessFactors.

Based on experience with Salesforce’s Agentforce, it is best suited for scenarios that require autonomous decision-making within a structured CRM environment, moving beyond simple chatbots to handle end-to-end tasks. It is least appropriate for tasks requiring high empathy, complex human judgment, or when the underlying data in Salesforce is chaotic and unmanaged

• Users can prompt Joule to create business partners in MDG.
• The change process for Business partner (Customers/Suppliers) updation is made easy, particularly for updating data such as address and communication details.
• The workflow process has been simplified by Joule agents, such as identifying the high-priority task and sharing it with the end user.
• Improved data quality to almost 30%~50% in the CR creation process, which is a significant milestone for us.

• It can accurately understand the full context of customer requests
• Identifies customer sentiment in real time
• Delivers knowledge-based answers while corrects indicates the source

• I would definitely like to see faster responses. One of the question I was getting when I was interacting with my customers here, they are saying how proactively Joule is updated or how fast it is updated with the real time technology and the things we are asking or what is the frequency of it, which was totally something to work on to see how continuous improvement is happening because if you are asking something. It's not helping the answers because it's just not updated, or there's no continuous improvement; that's something you should work on. And I think that will also help with faster response, at the speed and all that.

• Allow bigger text messages
• Be more clear when using html
• Call other variables available in the org

As we explore, we can learn more. As i believe, we can only learn to live and live to learn stuffs. So as well AI does the same and improve itself. By trying and prompting joule more, we can use it in better ways. I would definitely wait and use the new versions shared in SAP Teched on Joule with more LLM involved

I would rate Joule’s overall usability a 10 out of 10 because it makes interacting with SAP incredibly simple, intuitive, and fast. The conversational interface removes the complexity normally associated with navigating SAP modules, running transactions, or building reports. Even non-technical users can get meaningful insights within seconds just by asking natural language questions.

It would be around eight to say the UI is simple, it is like the Salesforce interface, so I don't have to look at what options sits there and what happens. That's something that is easy to understand. From a UI standpoint, it's really good. It functions on the layman day-to-day language, so that's really good. Why I scored a eight and not a nine or a 10 is because the missing off that context when you restart the conversation, that's an area which Salesforce needs to iron out and then maybe a 10 or 10.

as its cloud based, as of now, we see it available all the time and havent faced any issues while accessing. Not sure if this has high availability and Disaster recovery features got set up already with the default version that we are using at our organization. no issues so far.

SAP Joule's pages load quickly and it does display the information on what we are looking for w.r.to the knowledge base or the SAP articles.

Usually support for Joule takes longer than normal, and the correct answer always takes a long time to get, or we just don't get it at all, and we fix ourselves.

Joule implementation was easy but it has too many steps, it would be nice if part of the steps could be done automatically.

Deep SAP integration — it lives inside your SAP workflows and can take action directly (run queries, trigger orders, pull reports). Role-aware context — knows SAP role and authorizations automatically. Pre-built business process knowledge across HR, Finance, Supply Chain, etc. No prompt engineering needed for standard SAP tasks.

We did evaluate the EVA bots, which are coming in market for Salesforce effectiveness. Those bots are good, but they're based out of very traditional use cases in the life sciences space. Agentforce is very, very advanced, right? Eva can talk about a typical sales rep coming in, logging in the day, log their entire day, and then probably having a simple text to reporting kind of a view. And that's it. Agentforce gives me a lot of insights, it gives me a lot of actionable insights. It uses its own brain. That's where Salesforce is an AI company. So we trust the Salesforce banner for it to innovate more and more, more and more. And that's where we chose Agentforce over.
