    It is extremely well suited to client management in the insurance and financial services industries. I think it would not be nearly as useful in a retail setting as many of the features would be irrelevant.

    Salesforce Financial Services Cloud is really helpful when it comes to projections for our business. In order to cover our office overheads, we try to project sales leads becoming opportunities and closed and won sales for each quarter so we can ensure all targets are met and obligations too.

    Cons
    Orion Advisor Tech
    • I would like to see the ability to push annuity business into Redtail like brokerage accounts.
    • I would like to be able to attach documents to specific notes instead of just contacts in general.
    • Those are the only two cons that I have.

    • Automation. There is room to automate certain processes that require manual executions.
    • Implementation. It is hard and requires a 3rd party to help to implement which is costly.

    The platform is easy to use and train on. It is a one stop shop with all the information needed to maintain a clean client relationship. We recently had our scheduled audit done and Redtail was helpful in pulling the different reports we needed to produce for the audit

    Usability
    Orion Advisor Tech
    Was good and still is good. Seems like when a company acquires another they try to squeeze out more profit and forget what made them successful in the first place. Reducing staff and support seems inevitable, even though the number of users has increased significantly over the past 10 years

    It does its job but could be better. I think it all comes down to each business configuration of the platform.

    Reliability and Availability
    Orion Advisor Tech
    Generally speaking, Red Tail has been available whenever needed. there was a time period however where it was down and not available, giving 500 errors when trying to log in. They explained that it was due to upgrades they were making and it has virtually disappeared. Has now been available 99% of the time.

    Performance
    Orion Advisor Tech
    Overall general performance is quite satisfactory. Some of the automation factors that other products have available are slowly migrating to Red Tail. When these add ons are available and fully implemented, it greatly increases the power and usability of the CRM. Occasionally there are products that will not intergrade due to the nature of how they are set up

    We use the HELP section of Redtail often. If it is taking you more than 5 minutes to figure out than go to the HELP desk. We have had only great experiences when reaching out for help. We also LOVED the Redtail University we attended.

    Alternatives Considered
    Orion Advisor Tech
    Quite honestly, I have visibility into a number of CRM systems and Redtail stands alone as the strongest contender. It has the most thorough and customizable interface of any I have encountered. There are few other tools that offer the unmatched flexibility and the depth that any business could stand to profit from.

    We haven't used anything previously to Salesforce. We were trying to implement what we needed as a company with our current ticketing and quoting software, but it wasn't doing what we needed. Once we found Salesforce we were able to really dial in on the important things needed as a company.

    Scalability
    Orion Advisor Tech
    The biggest problem seems to have been with the email module. connection issues, sync issues, compliance updates, etc. The concept is great however there seems to be issues in getting it to work consistently. When it works, it works well. It seems that the frequency of downtime had been greatly reduced however.

    Return on Investment
    Orion Advisor Tech
    • Redtail makes it easy to log customer interactions for compliance related fields.
    • With Redtail, you don't have to worry about losing information. Just pull up the customer's profile and make some notes on what is going on. You can never be too detailed in the advisor industry.
    • The integration ability at Redtail really saves us heaps of time. You can feed information over from the custodian straight over to another 3rd party. API is game changing!
