Tigerpaw Unleashed, according to Trust Radius is no longer being marketed. If it worked correctly, it has the potential to be great software for Enterprise level businesses. We chose the Unleashed version so that the technicians could use it in the field. It does take a lot of information to get the software up and running

If you own a business that has complex selling processes or requires integrations with 3rd party tools/systems, you should look at Professional, Enterprise, or Unlimited editions. Salesforce operates very well across pretty much every industry, but not all sales, marketing, and operational processes are created equal. If your marketing process requires a long list of sendable contacts then I would recommend adding on Pardot or Hubspot. Always start small and scale up, to avoid boxing yourself in down the road.

  • Tracking phone calls is extremely easy when using the app on the iphone. After a phone call is complete it prompts the user to enter in call details.
  • SalesforceIQ also automatically logs emails for us. This has saved us time from entering in information manually.
  • SalesforceIQ was easy to set up and allowed us customization for fields that were relevant to our business.

Cons
Rev.io PSA
  • When training, during the overview of a chapter the examples tend to be from a prior version and do not reflect current software.
  • In my experience when things don't work the way you think they should being told to go back and read the chapter that you read 5 times before is not helpful.
  • I my experience when they know that there is an issue and the software is not working they keep billing you.
  • They like to tell you that they are escalating the problem. You never see a resolution and they do not get back to you . You have to keep calling them.
  • They acknowledge that you are having issues and state that there will be a credit. I have not seen one.
  • In my opinion, training is filled with jargon and no glossary.

  • Table views can be sorted by column. Filters can be applied, but only to one column. Multi-column filtering like Excel allows would be extremely useful and a big improvement.
  • The ability to quick copy data in a table view would also be helpful, like (ctrl ') in excel.

The system is very user-friendly on a desktop but lacks mobile friendliness. The Customer relationship manager disappears after the deal is signed. We struggled to get the system in a usable format, which was not cost-effective. The CRM system on desktop was great but way more complicated than it should be.

more expensive but as an industry leader and go, the learning curve pays for itself in ROI in lost time in onboarding

  • It made the job more efficient for staff so they can spend time doing other tasks rather than configuring and maintaining Salesforce Starter.
