Agentforce has a lot of applications. We are using it in consulting to benchmark other clients, what they're doing, where we stand, how can we have better efficiencies coming in, et cetera. Those are the areas where it is doing exceptionally well. The area where we feel it can do much more better is maybe a market benchmark because it's been used across by so many players and it's a connected ecosystem. If Salesforce can have something where it gives me the market view of things, I can then benchmark rather than in my own universe to the broader university Salesforce and I know where I exactly stand and what more can I achieve, what's my final goalpost. So that would be something really great.
If you have a colleague who is based in a remote location or is part of a remote team, Zoom is a vital collaboration tool for your day-to-day work. Zoom AI Companion is easier and more effective for working with a colleague at a remote location rather than making a call. You can share your non-verbal reactions through video, which brings a close experience to face-to-face interactions.
Large meeting rooms that our marcomms team is able to navigate and problem solve with quickly and easily.
Ability to schedule meetings with internal and external team members for workshops. Provides us with several tools to communicate and share ideas without having to even turn your mic on.
AI companion to remember points that were made and provide a summary to those who were unable to attend after the meeting.
This is one thing in specific which my SMEs keep on coming back and telling me as a area of improvement. Agentforce is a little buggy, the product forgets context. So as an SME, I can't afford to forget context of the previous conversation. Typically sometimes there's a lag, which you've seen, it forgets the context and it needs to be reminded in the next conversation, which is happening, whatever we saw in the previous conversation. And then it picks up and then it helps. So if that connection can be better, it'll really help.
Although the whiteboard is nice, it's not as advanced as I'd like to be. For example, navigating it can sometimes be tricky, and it doesn't have nearly as many features as a tool like Miro.
The Zoom integration for Outlook has issues, it doesn't always sync
The React feature on Zoom calls doesn't always work and sometimes isn't visible
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.
It's really easy to use - the AI icon is everywhere all over the place in the Zoom client so it's easy to be able to leverage AI whenever you need it, and similarly in the meeting it's easy to find and to use. I don't have complaints here that I can think of
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.
Zoom has better compatibility compared to Teams at our institution. It also supports a wider array of codecs. We like using Zoom despite the fact that both Teams and Zoom are supported at an enterprise level at our academic institution. Zoom also seems to have better video and audio quality and lower drop rates.
