Since we already had SAP Sales Cloud V1, it was logical for us to enable service capabilities in the same tenant. (no additional effort for the integration and change management for the users).
We evaluated 4-5 software and also thought of building one in-house but after a thorough evaluation, we decided to go ahead with SAP Service Cloud. SAP Service Cloud met our integration requirements better than the other products we evaluated. While the pricing could be a bit …
AI features are behind what Microsoft offers in its Dynamics 365 Customer Service, but as we already had other SAP products, the integration was easier with SAP Service Cloud. Implementation time was a key aspect of our project.
Salesforce has many integrations available, but configuring and setting them up can be difficult and necessitate development experience. While SAP Service Cloud integrates well with ease and without any difficulties.

It's been preferred by organizations already using other SAP solutions, as it integrates seamlessly within the SAP ecosystem. The choice between Salesforce and SAP Service Cloud often depends on an organization's existing technology stack and specific needs.
License fees, there is huge difference in licensing fees but both are having similar features to offer but SAP is having slight chance, the integrations adapters that were offered are lot better compared to Salesforce, we also had inventory that was on SAP platform so its …
I think Service Cloud is best suited for medium to large operations that require both proactive and reactive service. It’s a great fit for post-sales support. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for very small companies because it can be quite costly, and many of the features may go unused. Salesforce also performs best when you have a capable team managing it, so it’s important to consider your organization’s size and readiness before starting. Once you do, I recommend exploring other parts of the Salesforce ecosystem—Service Cloud works even better when integrated with Sales Cloud, since it allows better visibility across teams.
SAP Service Cloud is well suited with its omni-channel capabilities giving the possibility to collect service requests from different channels like phone, e-mail or CTI telephony. It also has nice User Interface (when it comes to desktop version). On the other hand SAP Service Cloud needs to be definitiely improved in terms of mobile app, which is horrible and it has limited development possibilities.
Email to case is an interesting piece of it. The threading is very strong, sometimes too strong, but it does very well at handling the incoming emails.
The omnichannel routing, using skill-based routing is really effective.
Pathing. So making the workflow and helping the team understand what it is that they're trying to do, what they have to accomplish, those step-by-step pieces. That's really helpful.
We had a principle initially to try and use Omni as much as we can from the user experience perspective, but have found that fairly restrictive. It was very difficult to actually get the right customer experience and customer engagement going. So we're actually on a journey at the moment to replace all of our Omni with Lightning web components that gives us that flexibility. That's probably one area where we've had some challenges in terms of how we've used the product out of the box.
While SAP Service Cloud offers a wealth of features, its interface can sometimes feel overwhelming. For newcomers, especially those not tech-savvy, a more intuitive or simplified layout would be beneficial.
While it allows for some level of personalization, making deep customizations can be challenging. Given the unique requirements of our client's customer service, having more flexibility in tailoring the tool to our exact needs would be nice.
While SAP Service Cloud integrates well within the SAP ecosystem, it can sometimes be less smooth when linking up with non-SAP third-party tools. Enhancing these integrations would streamline our operations, especially when using other software tools alongside it.
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.
SAP Service Cloud offers sturdy competencies for case control, workflow automation, and purchaser engagement. However, since our organization continues to be within the early assessment section, we have not but experienced its complete potential. Once fully applied and custom designed to our desires, the score can also increase as we investigate usability and integration with other SAP solutions.
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.
Working on an application that caters to customer needs requires a platform that acts as a mediator between the actual person and the client. This mediator handles the customer and resolves many of their doubts, helps them map through the entire process, and automates the processes. Such a platform is Salesforce Service Cloud. For queries that cannot be serviced by the platform, it creates a separate ServiceNow ticket for us, and it is assigned.
The Salesforce Service Cloud generally has very good performance, however the overall new Lightning user experience can bring that down. For example, if you have too many tabs open, then it can take a while for the Lightning UI to load. This UI is probably not well equipped to handle loading of all of that information at once, but Users tend to leave their tabs open all day long. It can also be fickle depending on which browser you use, what extensions you have installed, and whether you've cleared your cache. This can be the downfall with any software as a service though, not just Salesforce
Salesforce offers support, although it generally gets routed to overseas support teams first, and once they are unable to help, it gets escalated up the chain to higher tiers. Frequently, the answer back from support is that there is no native solution, and we either have to turn to the AppExchange for some solution provided by another developer, or custom build our own solution.
I have found that sometimes issues reported to the SAP takes more time also they lack system support with respect to the priority . Also we don't see RCA for the issues raised. Also turn around time for the issues is not fixed as the support is global sometimes the issues float here and there.
Our in-person training was provided by our implementation partner and it was quite good. This was in part because we were already working with them and so it naturally leant itself to a good training relationship. And because they were building our customizations and configuring things, they could then provide training on those things naturally.
Trailheads are great but it was often unclear what actually applied to our organization. This made it difficult to get a whole lot out of it. Part of it is that because the basic Salesforce features didn't quite work for us, we had to add customizations, which then nullified a lot of the training.
I would go through an implementation very differently knowing what I know now. It was difficult coming from systems we liked in post-sales service and having to adapt to the clunky and underwhelming feature set in Salesforce. I would trim back our expectations
We selected this product because we already had some competencies in Salesforce. We own a Salesforce partner with expertise in this area, and on top of that, Salesforce purchased it — it was originally called Velocity. When Salesforce decided to acquire it, that finalized the decision for us.
Zoho Desk is the ultimate software for clear communication, but when we compared these two according to our needs, we found out that SAP Service Cloud is the best option for us. Since it provides everything in one location, Zoho Desk is somewhat lacking in this area. That was the reason for choosing SAP Service Cloud.
We have cut our service team in half over the past 5 years due to the efficiency of the tool
The amount of direct inquiries to our technical team is less than 10% compared to the number support tickets that get entered in the system for them to work in a more organized manner
Responses are 100% more timely because tickets can be responded to by any individual in the queue or on the team, as opposed to direct emails to just one person
