    Cons
    Salesforce
    • It takes a while before it recognizes bounced emails.
    • We get so many notifications from a single action. Not sure if this can be modified in the settings though.
    • Error messages are sometimes unclear which makes it hard for us to identify the problem.

    • I find the interface a bit complex and challenging to navigate. I remember having difficultly grasping it completely especially when I was new to the system. Simplifying the user experience would make it more accessible for everyone, making tasks quicker and more intuitive.
    • integrating it seamlessly with other software and platforms could enhance its functionality. I would really really love an integration between BenchMark email marketing tool.

    Usability
    Salesforce
    It's very good, but it's still living in a little bit in an older design aspect, but I think a lot of it is about to come out, just hasn't quite gotten there yet. Still a little clunky from a you have to know it to know it or you know it to use it. It takes a little bit of training to get into it. It's not quite the, anybody can come in and start using it immediately, type feel.

    We mostly work with the API which is of very good quality and is well documented.However, some of our success is also due to having very talented developers on staff, and also understanding advanced gamification design. The tool supports a talented team! It won't actually do everything for you automatically.

    There are some latency issues. The 24 hour caching problem mentioned earlier is a problem. Sometimes the Gigya system makes two calls instead of a single call if we go directly to the social platform. For this reason, it's sometimes more efficient to go direct rather than use Gigya.

    I am not an administrator so there may very well be outstanding Support and I am just not privy to it. On a user level it's hard to gauge the effectiveness and responsiveness of Support because nearly everything has to go through an administrator

    They trained me in a train the trainer model. I then trained the internal team. Total training was about two hours, with an additional two hours for system setup.
    Training was maybe a little thin, but the system was fairly easy to learn and this wasn't really a problem.

    There was a bit of a learning curve in the beginning, and perhaps we were unclear on some of our requirements. Once they figured out what we wanted though, things went pretty smoothly. Just some minor hiccups in the beginning

    We were previously using an older version prior to it becoming Salesforce Lightning Platform so we were well adverse on the advantages of using a CRM, to begin with. It made sense to convert to Salesforce Lightning Platform after we were given a free trial of the platform. Certain reps were chosen to experiment with it and from there a decision was made to move forward. We've been customers ever since.

    Resources and specialized IT personnel is needed for the effective administration and deployment of Informatica Customer 360. This resource-intensive for smaller organizations. Although Informatica has the ability to integrate, the process of setting up and establishing these integrations can be difficult and may call for programming experience.
