Brand Embassy is excellent for brands that utilize a great influx of traffic, though even smaller channels will surely see a ton of improved feedback by using the platform. Having the ability to approach each audience differently yet organize the results and responses together, with the option for comparison and having the report issued separately or together is a great deal better than to have to do the manual work yourself (not to mention it is not going to be as insightful nor precise).

Salesforce Service Cloud is excellent as a CRM, a case management system, multi-channel contact centre support application, service and ticketing application as well as helping automate back office processes. If you want to extend Service Cloud into Sales, Self-Service or Digital Marketing, you need to purchase additional services which can be relatively high cost.

Pros
Brand Embassy, now part of NICE inContact CXone
- Social CRM: we appreciate this tool, because we focus on influencers a lot these days. It is important to know the person we are communicating with so we can prioritize who are we going to answer first. Influencers can cause passionate discussion and thanks to Brand Embassy we can quickly respond to them. Therefore we mark influencers in our social CRM. We also appreciate the fact that our online care team knows what the person has been dealing with lately.
- Analysis: our colleagues sometimes want to know how their product is doing and what people say about it on social media and how much is it discussed. Thanks to Brand Embassy we can generate a simple overview of the amount of questions and comments about specific product according to our tags.
- Simplicity: we prefer simple, yet effective tools, which Brand Embassy surely is. Our social care team does not have to switch between channels and social networks which increases their effectiveness. We also appreciate that our team can see any discussion about O2 wherever on the web, which is very useful for us as we enter the world of sport games, football and hockey. That causes passionate discussions on sport pages and online media outlets.

- Flexibility of data tracked, displayed, reported on, and customized.
- Single source of truth for support, implementations, sales and management.
- Ability to integrate through built-in app exchange and easy API.
- Reporting and emailed reports with direct links to drill down into data.
- Do virtually whatever you "need" to do.

Cons
Brand Embassy, now part of NICE inContact CXone
- In terms of reports that we get from Brand Embassy, it would be great to have information about the number of cases, or conversations that we have with our customers. At the moment, we have just info about number of interactions and the total workload.
- There are options to tag every conversation, in order to track why our customers contact us. Their tag menu is a bit too small, it would be great if it was larger.

- Incredibly complex to set up and configure.
- Multiple points of potential failure.
- Things Desk.com did out-of-the-box require customized code and components in Service Cloud.
- Front-facing community is extremely difficult to configure and comes with many limitations.
- No help is provided by Salesforce without expensive Premiere Support plans.
- Expensive! Hidden costs and development costs are going to make Service Cloud far more expensive than almost any other Help Desk provider out there.

Professional edition works best for a small company with lower call volumes and is very useful but as you grow exponetially I think it has limited ability to do all the things we want to - SLA management, defect, release management to name a few. Reports and dashboards being available in real time.

I had Salesforce experience prior to using Service Cloud which made it a little easier to learn and navigate, but overall my team (some who had no Salesforce experience) caught on very quickly and found Service Cloud to be easy to use.

Salesforce has a more than 99% uptime rate and Salesforce Service Cloud is no exception. I have never had any issues experiencing outages or service degradation when it comes to using the Service Cloud product (that I can remember). Always reliable and easy to use, I would recommend this product as your go-to for helpdesk, service desk, incident management, call center, and other business process needs.

There are issues with page load performance and database performance for sure, but we are a very complex setup with a lot of automation and processing for 2000+ users so this is not surprising. We are also global, so the issue with distance from the regional servers is a problem.

It is difficult to describe just how awesome the support guys and gals at Brand Embassy are. Ever-present and eager to help, with kind and helpful attitude and you can really feel they are doing this to help you make results

It depends on what support package you buy from Salesforce. That can be good or bad. It's highly flexible to your needs pricing wise. If you have devs on staff then don't buy support. If you don't, then sfdc offers support for a cost.

Generally I don't see huge differences between social CRM tools - it's mainly in the details of how well it's implemented and connected to your channels. For example other tools cannot easily process non-standard channels like custom made forums or have a e-mail based ticketing for private follow ups. Brand Embassy shines in this area.

I have used Microsoft Dynamics in the past and I feel that Salesforce compares positively to it. While both software offers cloud based service and a mobile app, Microsoft Dynamics doesn't support integration with Gmail. One of the reasons we like Salesforce so much is that it can integrate with your email.

- + We can fully monitor every mention of our brand.
- + We are able to respond faster and more accurately (thanks to customer history)
- + As more employees can work all at once, we can solve more posts from different sources immediately.

- While I don’t have a dollar value because I’m not the manager of the support team, I have heard many accounts of how the use of Service Cloud has made us much more efficient at delivering customer support
- Using Service Cloud has had a big impact on removing silos between departments because it’s much easier now for non-support users to interact with cases
- We now have a lot of automation of other features that we didn’t have before Service Cloud, for example, integration with our customer survey tool
