Salesforce Experience Cloud

Formerly Salesforce Community Cloud

Well suited for companies that have partners or end users that like to self-service. Easy to publish content and knowledge articles for them to learn if they are new, and to post announcements and important updates on the homepage so they don't miss anything. It's hard to customize it to look like your main website unless you have resources that can write code. The templates have some flexibility in how you can lay things out, but you're really limited unless you go beyond the out of the box templates or have people on the team that can put together custom components for you.

Community Cloud is great for an employee Intranet where data needs to be segmented to all company users. It is also great for partners who need some access to your database for pipeline or visibility, but not a full CRM license. It can also be utilized for hosting forms and surveys where full access isn't needed, but syncing back to the system is required.

Our pilot experiences were satisfactory and would need to [be further tested] to provide more feedback.

We can keep all content in one place. The idea to combine many Salesforce services into one is not bad, but sometimes this monstrosity gets in the way. Now we are looking toward WordPress, but earlier we created a website based on Salesforce. I liked the built-in templates, the intuitive constructor, and the speed of the builder.

Salesforce is well suited when I need to access information about my clients, for example, industry, revenue, website, contacts, opportunities (upsells, closed-wons). It is also good to keep track of pending activities such as onboardings and progress review calls. It is less appropriate when I need to see a record of all emails sent to a specific customer.

Salesforce Experience Cloud is well-suited for organizations that have clients who periodically or routinely need to access historical data or documents. The product also offers an exceptionally effective tool to engage with customers around support/service issues and the entire Case management functionality built into the Salesforce platform. The product might be less well-suited in environments where there is exceptionally high staff turnover within customer accounts, or where there is a substantial lack of very basic computer skills.

It's a good product if you are going to leverage Salesforce for a lot of applications. The product is well suited to serve as a collaboration portal with internal or external customers. It's likely less appropriate for fully public-facing websites where the importance is purely on look and feel vs. substantive content or collaboration.

It is perfect for a mid or large size company already on the Salesforce cloud. It is not appropriate for small-size companies considering the high cost and complexity in integrating non-Salesforce product integrations.

[Salesforce Experience Cloud (formerly Salesforce Community Cloud)] seems to be very well suited for what we want to use it for, which is to allow customers to have access to their ongoing and already-resolved cases, which will save our customer success team time and allow for transparency. It also seems well-suited for fine-tuning knowledge libraries, as it allows you to track the knowledge articles that are most impactful (and conversely, those that are less impactful) as you are able to track the path that customers use to self-serve ahead of submitting a ticket. I haven't run into any scenarios yet where we wanted to use Experience Cloud as a solution but discovered that it wasn't a fit.

Salesforce Experience Cloud main advantage is the 360º overview over a cuustomer and the easy way to adapt your onnections if you have other salesforce produtcs, and having those products is clearly a must have.

I also have to mention the strong user community that allows you to have permanent "support".

[Salesforce Experience Cloud (formerly Salesforce Community Cloud) is well suited] when there is a need to have access to Salesforce data but limited access. The need to control what a user will see and do but still access same system your core users will be functioning in

Some specific situations in which Salesforce Experience Cloud (formerly Salesforce Community Cloud) is well-suited are: when a large organization needs to share specific information over several user groups, organizations that operate with smaller divisions who have different user profiles, organizations that want to make information more used and graphically friendly, organizations that utilize Salesforce for their complete operations, and want to limit the information certain users are able to see.

[Salesforce Experience Cloud (formerly Salesforce Community Cloud) is] useful in tracking communication with qualified leads.

We knew what features we wanted and after evaluation, we zeroed in on Salesforce Community Cloud. There are many scenarios, like business integration, in which it helps us fetch the data from any system. In sales, it helps creation opportunities. It helps to share files/data without any issues. We can access it on mobile that one of the best parts I would say as one is not always on the system. Doesn't matter wherever you are or at what location it helps to be in touch with other members or clients at any time.

Salesforce Cloud has and integration with Microsoft Flow, allowing us to produce automatic triggers to integrate with other applications and reduce reliance on user action for monitoring for certain events. The search function does not allow complex queries and is not presented in any logical order. It is just a basic "free text" search.

Community Cloud is the perfect tool for people that are looking for a solution where they can create a web portal that is integrated with their existing Salesforce data and want to make some of that data available and interactable for people that doesn't really require a Salesforce user license, whether they are customers, employees or the general public. As a standalone product without integration to the Salesforce ecosystem, it really doesn't make sense as a regular web portal presents itself as a better option.

I don't know all the best use cases but its best suited for Salesforce to keep up-to-date records within one system. It also is a great platform to understand your progression throughout your day, week and quarter. I'm able to forecast more accurately than most other platforms,

Salesforce works wells for my business. It is simple to use and affordable.

In our automotive sector, we use Salesforce Community on behalf of our client as a Dealership portal to provide interactive communications.

Salesforce is well-suited for customer service agents, and other departments within an organization that interact with customer service. It’s easier to provide details to another department about an issue that a customer may be having, in order for a different department to support it if needed. It’s not as useful if not all departments are on the same version of Salesforce.

Best suited for use as a customer or partner portal to provide data related to Salesforce Community Cloud and lead and opportunity management.

Perfect for the partner network our company was building out at the time. It definitely helped us figure out how to best manage those relationships.

I think the idea is great to put our Salesforce sales data in the same systems as our use case as with our knowledge base. The execution is not good. Maybe it is our implementation. I fear it is not though. I think it will end up being the solution.

Well suited in addressing tech glitches and wiring them to the appropriate department to get such scenarios fixed. I think that everything is appropriate for salesforce to be used for our account.

Its well suited to be utilized as an online space for employees and partners to share info and collaborate with immediate access via browser i.e. SaaS application.

From a branding perspective, also very useful to brand ans personalize the user experience providing a UI that is personalized and easy to navigate through.

Can be used internally an intranet type solution to engage with internal employees allowing integration to Salesforce Chatter and other Salesforce app like Sales and Marketing Cloud. Additionally, collaborating with 3rd parties such as partners (as we do) to share info that filter back in to our Salesforce Sales and Marketing Cloud.

I see more benefit compared to writing any cons of the product. Just ensure you have strong NBN internet connection when accessing the SaaS application.

We use this for our partner portal. It has been heavily customized to reflect our brand and extend our online community experience. Their is an environment in play whereby our partners utilize this and can also log and register any business leads that automatically integrate to Salesforce Sales and Marketing Cloud. This can also be done via mobile anywhere, from any device. Partners can access the community through the Salesforce mobile app or from any mobile browser. Primarily used to grow our partner sales and relationships and also empower employees internally and externally.
