Easy on-the-go Analytics!
This is mainly part of our initiative to retire our legacy reporting and to get our company to use Salesforce as the one-stop shop for data. We use it for getting raw numbers and just replacing our old reports for now. In the future, we are committing to using this as our full-fledged analytics tool for looking at trends or doing forecasting.
- For mobile, it is great. The usability on a phone is fluid and the reports look really nice.
- Customization of the tool on different platforms is very cool. It is very simple to use and even non-developers can use it.
- Very easy to set up. There were no difficulties with implementation.
- One thing that I noticed is its data limitations. For very large files, the tool struggles unlike other software like Tableau (which Salesforce owns).
- Learning curve could take some time because of the product's uniqueness, which is always frustrating.
- Customization is good, but compared to other data visualization tools like Power BI or Tableau, Salesforce falls short.

Salesforce is on the wrong course
We used to use Salesforce as our CRM but found it to be very annoying. We much prefer our new solution, SharpSpring, even though it's a much more simple email automation tool. Salesforce just became too complicated for us in our day-to-day. It can address email, CRM, and more, however and is good at what it does.
- Email opens.
- Email clicks.
- Email unsubscribes.
- Pages visited by a user. This is one is done better by SharpSpring.
- Simplifying their UI.
- Allowing for easier integrations with WordPress.
- Allowing a more collaborative sales space, like JIRA for sales.

Crystal clear
Salesforce is being used across the entire organization. This is the main CRM for sourcing and organizing all of the accounts received by the sales team. It lets sales representatives know exactly where they stand in terms of statistics and goals. The main problem it addresses is confusion when it comes to picking up exactly where you left off the day before.
- Provides a visual breakdown of daily activity
- Gives detailed analytics to your day to day progress
- Allows sales representative to see exactly where they stand in comparison to their peers
- I guess the ability to add color coordination in the bar graphs so it's easier to find your name
- A better way to solely focus on your progress and cut out everyone else

Solid tool for predicting revenue
this tool is used by our sales, sales management, and sales operations teams to track the progress of our deals and the likelihood of the closing. It helps us determine which deals to prioritize, which ones we have let slip for too long, etc.
- Insights into what makes up the scoring.
- Easy to see the view on the apps kanban view.
- It is not always portraying an accurate description of the deal.
- Some of the analytics, I am not sure how they can predict a deal's likelihood to close.

Smart cookie and very pretty ;)
We have corporate clients and individual clients we service over time. Who are the most profitable, what size clients are most tailored to our services, where are the clues as to where to develop future markets and clients. With SAC, the results are beautiful and very illuminating
- Clear and colorful depiction of the data
- Can present multiple sets of data clearly even on one page
- And just thrilled they bought Tableau because it just keeps getting better
- Sometimes lower the volumes of lightning page views
- Sometimes baffling error messages

A fine analytics tool for Salesforce gurus
Sales uses it primarily to track data. My department used it to track churn.
- Reporting.
- BI
- Data visualization.
- Limited access.
- Need a dedicated engineer.
- Pricey.

Analytics for customer relationship management done right!
Salesforce Einstein Analytics allows our organization to drive business intelligence insights like never before, paired with artificial intelligence. This allows us to do business in ways previously not imagined. I think the core business problems it addresses are forecasting and understanding our customers better to ensure better service.
- Analytics
- Insight generation
- Artificial intelligence
- Business predictions
- Interface
- Integrations
- Support

Great tool for managing a large, diverse sales team calling on multiple market channels
Our firm, in the home improvement products industry, sells through multi-channels (big box retailers, electrical distributors, and online retailers). Our diverse sales force needs strong direction or they each will go on their own and develop marketing materials and digital content that does not meet company guidelines. We use Salesforce Analytics Cloud to have a pulse on their activity by account. It helps us manage and DOCUMENT a very difficult process that is fluid on a daily basis.
- It gives our ELT a snapshot via dashboards so they can see the big picture.
- It gives our directors in-depth information via dashboards and regularly delivered reports to have a detailed view of what is going on.
- It gives our managers a task list of things to follow up on to make sure their team members are getting all the detailed tasks done and on time.
- When we started with SAC we did not realize for it to be effective it would require a FTE to be the administrator.
- You need an energetic, self-starting person to be the administrator to get the most value out of your investment.
- You need ELT buy-in to make all parties accountable for their assigned duties.

Great!
It helps to be able to see how many sales specific people make in what part of the country. It is a very effective system and I highly recommend it. Most organizations I have spoken to that use it recommend it as well, if you have any questions they will answer those as well.
- Helps optimize
- Helps improve productivity
- Easy to maintain
- Need more customization
- Needs better API

Mobile-ready reports ready in a Jif!
Having a very specific role in my company, I struggled to find a reason not to work remotely. That being said, I enjoy that the analytics can be used on my mobile and with just a few clicks I can drill down to a specific marker. This has created ease in my life because, let's be real, not always do I want to bring my laptop with me? The ability and flexibility it provided is top notch
- You can import other CRM data.
- It works like a search tool (engine) which allows me to look at all aspects of reporting.
- Almost anyone can use it ... no special degree or advanced courses are needed to get the information to calculate correctly.
- Uploading large data can take A LONG TIME!
- The customization is okay but could use some more enhanced features.

Salesforce Analytics is the gateway for representation
Salesforce Wave Analytics from Salesforce is optimized for mobile access and data visualization/chart representation.
The Wave mobile app allows our users to work with large data files and create graphs, charts and other pictorial representations of data from them. The platform allows users to drill down into key parts of the business with only a few clicks and little or no training in this data analytics field. That is why we primarily use this in our organization for data massaging and pictorial representation.
- Integration with other Salesforce.com clouds, including the Marketing cloud and community cloud.
- Very flashy charts and simple to use pictorial representation.
- A lot of filters within this and the data can be analyzed and filtered out very easily.
- Compatible for mobile platforms and Ipads.
- Agile efficiency is the only thing it needs to improve.
- Licensing seems like an issue which affects the cost.
- The ability to connect with all objects in Salesforce makes this kept apart and not able to integrate completely for all tables.

Reliable with a huge learning curve
Management of daily employee activities, a summary of work performances and setting goals. Identifying inefficiencies in an effort to automate operations where it makes sense to do so.
- Dashboards are relatively easy to build once you get used to it.
- Engagement monitoring.
- The Accuracy of data.
- Support of Unlimited Edition.
- Cost is quite high if you don’t immediately begin to customize it to your individual department and even roles.
- Must have a trusted Salesforce Admin who knows simple coding and setting formula criteria.
- Not fully functional with Salesforce Classic.

Great BI tool if you are already using Salesforce as your CRM
Salesforce Analytics Cloud, or Salesforce Wave, is a great BI tool and optimized for mobile access and data visualization, especially if your organization is currently using Salesforce. Our University is currently using Salesforce for Student Relations Management and this tool is great for pulling data and presenting that data in an easy to ingest format in a visually pleasing way. It is used by our Enrollment departments on campus.
- It has dashboards that, out of the box, can be useful for people who do not want to put in much effort in creating custom dashboards. It also has the ability to customize dashboards so you can add more info and functionality to your dashboards if the need arises.
- The developers are continually investing in the platform and providing improvements, and listen to customer feedback and feature requests. They regularly update the app and provide more functionality which has been beneficial to our institution.
- Native integration and natural connection if your organization is already using Salesforce. Super easy to set up and works well with Salesforce. Very smooth and natural when connecting it to your Salesforce instance.
- Excellent visual experience for presenting data. Users find it so much easier to navigate and view data in a visual way, which allows them to drive their performance in the right directions.
- Has the ability to pull data not only from Salesforce but from other external systems and databases, making it an all-around BI tool. Mixing data from Salesforce and other third-party systems puts all your data in one place which can easily be ingested by decision-makers and executives.
- Implementation takes time and resources. It is a heavy lift to implement and at first, it can take a little bit of time to understand what you are looking at. But once it's implemented it's easy to get started.
- Without any BI expertise or resources available to your organization, the implementation of this is difficult. If you aren't used to BI tools and don't have an expert in house, the terminology can be difficult to understand at first.
- Their support is not on hand to help you if you encounter any issues, at least not on all the plans or the basic plans. Real-time support service is an add-on, so you'll need to be patient if you require help or pay extra money.
- More functionality for the tool is needed to compete with other heavyweights in the arena like Tableau, Qlik, and Microstrategy. Still lacks the robustness, functionality, and flexibility other competing products possess.

A must have for any growing business
We use Salesforce Analytics Cloud for all of our data analytics. This is our main analytic tool and it is used across multiple departments throughout the company. We have it tied into multiple third-party software such as Marketo, HubSpot, 6connect, etc. It allows us to easily pull reports for any type of data you can imagine. We use the sync between Marketo and Salesforce to easily segment emails based on Salesforce fields.
- Easy drag and drop report builder. This makes it very easy to pull reports quickly.
- Easily manage sales cycles. It was very easy to set up the sales cycle with very little help from our devs.
- Easily manage everything from one place such as social, chat, behavior, etc.
- Having direct access to client information helps us solve problems quickly. I love how it creates a record. No more going through email chains.
- It can be confusing when you first start using it due to the many features it offers.
- Support is lacking. Getting a hold of someone that knows what they are talking about can be a challenge.
- Sometimes the app can be slow and crash.

Another great Salesforce hit
At our marketing firm we are using several Salesforce products like the Marketing Cloud and Sales cloud. We needed a solution to allow us access to the myriad of data in a mobile friendly way and provide us insights into our key business performance indicators. Choosing Salesforce Analytics Cloud was a no-brainer in that regard. It is used company-wide to access data regarding our marketing clients as well as financial performance.
- With native integration to the Sales and Marketing clouds, the data exploration and predictive trends become way easier to manage and access.
- The mobile first design and pre-built dashboards allow the access of data securely from any device.
- With the power of Einstein discovery we are able to receive contextual answers and recommendations regarding our performance.
- In our implementation we did not see any major drawbacks in the product. However, the data loading aspect into the software seemed fairly error prone. Once again that might have been an artifact of some incorrect data mapping at our end as well.

Salesforce Analytics review
We use it to monitor sales growth and improvement. We mainly use Salesforce Analytics to see which changes we have to make to the sales process - which leads are being held onto for too long, etc. This is also helpful to show investors and potential employees, as well. It's a great tool.
- Money made.
- Unique leads touched.
- One-call closes.
- Could use video.
- Could use more notifications.
- Could use a better interface.

Great for data driven analytics
At our cybersecurity firm, we have a wide myriad of solutions being used to provide valuable services to our clients. We have accumulated large amounts of data sets pertaining to our clients and needed a viable technology for building intelligent data-driven metrics. Salesforce Analytics Cloud us offers that capability. It is being used by our sales, marketing, and finance departments.
- Salesforce Analytics Cloud is designed with a mobile-first approach and offers dynamic visualization over underlying data sets.
- Salesforce Analytics Cloud comes equipped with lots of external data connectors making it possible to integrate it with numerous back-end data sources.
- Salesforce uses multi-tenant cloud operations. However, we have seen that certain cloud instances are more performant than others.

If you’ve already invested in the Salesforce ecosystem, the cloud analytics tool is more than capable of deriving solutions from data
Salesforce analytics is used across all divisions of our company, mainly by product managers, accounting managers, and marketing managers. It’s mainly used to address how successful our salesforce is across regions nationally as well as determining the financial or customer funnel for target growth products and new innovations.
- Building dynamic tables - you can easily categorize and adjust reports.
- Creating valuable graphics for key data.
- Migrating sales or part information from most major POS systems
- More robust, modern selection of graphics. Specifically, expand the current selection of funnels or create a sub-funnel feature.
- Ability to dynamically link graphics to data tables realtime
All analysts use Salesforce Analytics Cloud. As an analyst, I create reports either for myself or for stakeholders who request them. It hosts the majority of the data for our organization.
- The user interface is easy to use. Most people in the organization can get started and use the product after a bit of training.
- It is easy to share reports across the organization. The site also allows other users to edit and save reports created by others.
- The report export function is not optimal. Sometimes, it will not export to a specific format.
- The platform does not allow the advanced user to query directly from the backend database.

Salesforce Analytics Review
Salesforce Analytics will be used across our departments for a myriad of data analysis purposes. It allows us to report on data and see problem points and various informative charts.
- It is mobile friendly
- Visually represents massive amounts of data
- Search based reporting opens up use to the users.
- It may be too expensive for smaller companies
- Reports and Dashboards in Salesforce might serve the majority of users needs making Analytics less necessary

Great Software for data analysis
In our organization Salesforce Analytics is used by marketers and data analysts, and some other colleagues, such as sales sometimes, to login to Salesforce to find or check out some information. We use Salesforce Analytics to gather, store, analyze and manage the data so that we can find insights, make predictions and learn more about our clients, sales and market.
- Lots and lots of features: Salesforce has it all, any feature you can think of Salesforce Analytics offers.
- Data visualization: Salesforce Analytics does a great job visualizing the data, it is clean and very easy to understand.
- Lots of integration options: Almost any analytics software can be easily integrated with Salesforce.
- Mobile version: I do not like the mobile version at all, it is not adaptive, very hard to operate and even missing some features.
- User interface: the UI looks a bit old and it is not very user friendly.
- Too many features: I like that Salesforce Analytics has a lot of features, but for a new user it could be overwhelming.

Salesforce Analytics Review
Salesforce Analytics is a great tool to leverage if you're already leveraging the reporting power of Salesforce. Our company is currently using Salesforce Analytics Cloud to create and manage all our customers and we need something better than the standard Salesforce reports and dashboards to provide better information to our clients We are able to run reports and get a better understanding of our performance, as well as get a better grasp on customer management.
- We are able to run reports and increase our overall sales performance as a company
- It brings over the data that we need to provide to our sales team.
- Manipulate data into visual graphs
- UI doesn't look that modern
- Images larger than 3mb cannot be automated

SF Review
Salesforce is our all in one data management and analytics platform for sales/customer success/technical support. We store lead opportunity and then client info, recorded telephone calls and plan information.
- We are able to track where our leads come from at first touch.
- We can analyze the demographic information of sales and correctly target areas of opportunity.
- We can monitor employee metrics across all departments.
- This is our total financial reporting center.
- We would like more storage space for less money.
- We plan on switching to lightening dialer once call monitoring is added, and if we can solve the storage expense issue.

Salesforce Analytics Cloud from a marketing professional in a massive sales-driven organisation
Thomson Reuters uses SalesForce to track leads and sales for our financial and risk products in the financial and risk sector of TR but also across the legal, tax and accounting section -and I think Reuters news use it too.
- Opportunity tracking
- Leads overview
- Account details
- Comparison metrics
- Sales dashboard
- Customized user base for companies
- Search engine
- Navigation difficulty
- Training videos
- Too many mandatory fields to enter

Important to any sales org
Salesforce is our company's primary source of truth for organizing and managing new and existing customer accounts. My team primarily uses Salesforce to reference for account info, track deals in pipeline, log activities, and create reports. The analytics portion allows us to get info that we can't otherwise glean from standard Salesforce reports.
- Easily track opportunities and their stages in pipeline
- Create reports and glean data and information that we can't get out of any other tool
- Can easily identify and track leads and log their activity
- The UI is not always user-friendly or intuitive - if I haven't used something before, I tend to have to do quite a bit of digging or refer to support for help.
- Reporting can be a little clunky and tedious to create
- Too many mandatory fields to enter in - not all are necessary
- Because there's so much data and information in Salesforce, it can be cluttered with too much on one single page (ie an account page can contain a lot of unnecessary information to sort through)
