The goal of using Cirrus Insight in our organization was strictly to track emails sent thought Google Mail and to log them via Salesforce. The solution was one of the ways we increased our Salesforce compliance in order to make sure that everything emailed to clients was captured appropriately and logged.
  • Logs emails to Salesforce
  • Integrates with Google Gmail
  • Easy to track
  • Disappearing from Mailbox
  • Not logging consistently
  • Had some down time
Seemed to work well in simple instances with logging emails, etc. One of the challenges we had was the adding and removing of licenses. The Team member, licensing area is a little tough to use and I found myself resulting to having to chat with customer service to get things figured out and new licenses added.

Regular Salesforce users for fundraising and program at BioBus use Cirrus to easily connect our Gmail and Salesforce. Through Cirrus, we can see Salesforce data and save emails to Salesforce all within our inboxes. It's a huge timesaver and easy to use, so it facilitates actually getting the data into Salesforce.
  • Easily sync email communication to Salesforce from your inbox.
  • See data in Salesforce within your inbox.
  • Add tasks, phone calls, and other items to Salesforce from your inbox.
  • The layout doesn't always match edits made to the Salesforce layout and can require customization.
  • Some related items in Salesforce display as the reference number instead of name in Cirrus.
  • Mobile version is not nearly as user-friendly and is a bit cumbersome since it's not built into Gmail.
Cirrus is a great solution if you want to make it easy for users to access Salesforce (for both viewing and adding information) from their inbox. Doing this is a great way to see your database actually be used and see results from that.

Cirrus Insight is used across business units. There are a number of business problems it solves.
  • Easily adding emails to Salesforce records
  • Quickly creating Salesforce Leads/Contacts from Emails
  • Being able to view the Salesforce context for an email from within Gmail
  • Meeting scheduler to avoid the back and forth of when people are available for a meeting
  • Send Later to ensure the emails are sent at an appropriate time, despite the time they were written
  • Follow Up to help remind when a follow up may be required o nan email
  • The meeting scheduler is invaluable as it makes it much easier to arrange meetings at an appropriate time for all
  • Create Salesforce Leads and Contact as it extracts information from the email signature to autofill information such as phone number
  • Viewing Salesforce from within Gmail, rather than having to flick between different tabs on your browser to view all the information
  • I find that having the Cirrus Insight extension on my browser can really slow down by computer, and therefore disable it at times I am not using it
For someone who uses both Gmail and Salesforce as part of their main role, this software is an invaluable connector for them both. Some of the features are also not Salesforce specific - such as the Meeting Scheduler, which has proved invaluable to me, and I would recommend to any Gmail user who frequently set up meetings (either internally or externally).

Cirrus Insight is being used primarily by our Regional Representatives, who use it to add project contacts to our Salesforce. It simplifies and expedites the process of adding new contacts and their company in one easy step. They also use it to track new opportunities and document cases.
  • User friendly interface right in your mailbox.
  • Easily record e-mails and attachments to a contact, opportunity or case.
  • Create new accounts and contacts in one step.
  • Responsive customer service.
  • It seems to “break” periodically, which is sometimes hard to diagnose for non-IT users.
  • Would love to be able to attach emails to multiple locations at once.
If your users are field based, Cirrus Insight offers a mobile app, which our users love. Because of this tool, our Regional Representatives are finally inputting valuable contacts and interactions into salesforce.

Cirrus(sly) Awful

The sales team uses Cirrus. We use it to log meetings and emails from Google to Salesforce. This function works okay. We also use it for automated email messaging, which is absolutely awful. The logging features work as they help track activity, but the email automation is clunky, often breaks, and we run into problems DAILY.
  • Logs Emails automatically
  • Logs Meetings automatically
  • That's it.
  • Flight Plan is absolutely horrible
  • Interface freezes all the time, doesn't load, etc
  • Meeting feature isn't fluid
For logging emails it's great. It's fluid and it syncs everything I send with Salesforce. IF all you're interested in is tracking emails, this tool works well. The flight plan feature is underdeveloped and doesn't work well/at all most of the time.

There are much better options out there, I don't recommend.

Cirrus Insight is used by our Sales Development Representatives and Outbound Account Executives to execute a couple of key functions within our business. The first is that we find it extremely helpful to log rep activity within Salesforce via the mapping feature. We also use Cirrus Insight to assist us with scheduling reminder notifications for emails that are not engaged with by prospects/current account contacts. Furthermore, there is significant utility in Cirrus Insight supporting us to book meetings and to manage delivery times so that emails are opened based on the time elected by the sender. The final way in which Cirrus Insight helps us is via the email tracking feature, which allows us to see when, where and what links were engaged with by recipients to allow us to further determine the best course of action in the sales cycle.
  • Salesforce Logging Features
  • Email Templates
  • Email Tracking is not always accurate - this can be due to the nature of the device and the email client used by the recipient.
  • Gmail app is subject to being glitchy and auto-log out out behavior.
  • Meeting time function is limited in its functionality and is prone to glitches as reported by clients.
  • Send later function works about 85% of the time.
  • Follow up intervals are too short and should provide more customised options.
I feel that Cirrus Insight adds alot of value to our function but at the same point has some clear flaws which make it hard to recommend. The product, especially for Gmail - reminds me of something that has moved out of the Beta stage too early in product development. If they gave the app a solid overhaul and improved the reliability of the features I could see my feedback improving

Cirrus insight is used by everyone that interacts with Salesforce, which are primarily our sales, marketing and customer success teams. I've also used it in my previous two sales roles and I cannot imagine using Google Apps and Salesforce without it. The major problem that it solves for me is logging activity into Salesforce and attaching to the relevant opportunity. Also, I find it much faster to add new contacts from within Gmail through Cirrus Insight.
The tracking features are also quite useful and I've found "false flags" are much less likely than I previously experienced with tracking email links through Eloqua.
  • Logging activity to Salesforce from Gmail and Google calendar. The integration is seamless.
  • Scheduling follow-ups before I send the email. It also automatically logs a follow-up event in Salesforce.
  • Tracking opens provides useful insight.
  • Completing and creating tasks with the Cirrus Insight sidebar in Gmail is very convenient.
  • I've found the email tracking is not always accurate, especially when sending an email to multiple recipients. It would be great if it could track multiple recipients individually.
  • Logging activity to multiple contact records in Salesforce when sending to multiple recipients would be a beneficial feature.
  • Sometimes it crashes/freezes up, but I'm not sure if that's a Gmail or Cirrus Insight problem.
Cirrus Insight is most suited for sales professionals communicating via email. Especially, those in outbound prospecting roles. There's no excuse not to log your activity in Salesforce since it's as easy as clicking a button.

Being a small business, I wear a lot of hats, and any tool that can streamline activities and save me time at a reasonable cost is highly appreciated and valuable. In working with Cirrus Insight, I appreciate their forward-looking approach to their system as it has had small positive steps (syncing contacts and calendars) and huge leaps (templates integration, follow-up tasks/reminders and integration with custom objects) throughout my experience. It saves me a TON of time and makes my work life much more efficient.
  • The ability for the 'smart email' integration in Gmail to continue to recognize the desired Object and Record to document the email to is fantastic as a time-saver and is appreciated by compliance.
  • The reminders are one of my favorite new features as they help keep me from having to hop back and forth to SFDC. BIG TIME SAVER.
  • Integrating my Google Calendar to SFDC is a real help, and it even does a good job of looking up the contact based on the email, something Appirio's tool never quite figured out.
  • Email tracking is a great feature as well.
  • Email tracking - I think they need to step up the UI for the tracking summary. I would appreciate if it opened into a separate page in addition to the in-Gmail app to provide greater insight to the opens and clicks.
  • Tagging - I think it would be nice to be able to create a few custom tags and then add those to emails to make it easier to track just sales/service/marketing emails.
  • I think the next level for them will be to have some tracking code we can put on our website to see how our emails are leading people to review information on our site.
Different roles have different benefits to the use of Cirrus in our organization. I have not expanded the use of Cirrus as much as I would like and it would be helpful for Cirrus to create some fact sheets on how they might benefit different roles in an organization (Customer Service, Marketing, etc.).

  • It removes double-entry of contact record data
  • It allows entry of calendar items and invites in google apps calendar directly into salesforce
  • It syncs from salesforce calendar directly into google apps calendar
  • When viewing an email in google apps, it opens salesforce information for that contact in the sidebar of google apps
  • nothing - it's the best google to salesforce implementation i've seen
If you are looking for a way to integrate google apps and salesforce, this is the single best tool available on the market. For the price at which it is being offered, it will pay for itself in just a few days. You will become more efficient using it, and that extra time saved will make you more profitable as well.
