This product has enabled us to advance the way we are working with our customers in providing them with exceptional details on booking vacation packages and hospitality services. We have found Salesforce Community Could to be easy use, reliable and customer friendly in how this looks from the outside. This is being used by our guest services and reservations team.
  • Improving the information that we receive from guests
  • Improving communication with our guests
  • Improving our ability to keep track of multiple items
Cons
  • Cost
Salesforce is easy to use.

It is being used within a specific department. It allows us to streamline our sales process, and a basis of record on accounts, prospects, clients, deals closed and as well as historical metrics. I like it because of how intuitive and easy it can be to wrap my head around.
  • Easy to use.
  • Aesthetically pleasing.
Cons
  • It's slow.
  • Takes a lot of manual effort.
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,

Easy tracking and metrics, all in one place

Our Sales Department uses Salesforce to keep track of our customer interactions. It's great to see what the other team members are accomplishing and track metrics that matter to our sales team.

It works on mobile platforms, making it easier to get things done when away from my desk as well as collaborate with colleagues on the go.
  • Easy platform to navigate
  • Real time tracking of events makes it nice to compare tasks with the team
  • Integrates with Outlook and ToutApp
  • Convenient to view on any mobile device, making it easier to engage outside of the office
Cons
  • Nothing I can think of
Great for an internal social network across our sales team, keeps us up to date on what others on the team are doing and tracking activities, which we measure for bonus purposes. Also helps to measure metrics and even pull reports based on product history, predictive analytics etc.

Salesforce Community Cloud lives up to expectations!

Salesforce is used by almost every department at my company including Sales, Customer Service, Billing, Accounts Receivable, and Provisioning. It really helps us to keep all notes and documents related to a customer in a common place where all departments can have access. It is also helpful for showing how specific billing accounts are related to each other with the hierarchy feature.
  • The hierarchy feature is great for showing related accounts & sub-accounts. This makes it easy to address all issues under a common grouping of accounts when speaking to a customer.
  • The chatter feature is extremely useful for alerting coworkers that their attention is needed on a specific case or work order. This sends an email to the person which includes your note to them.
  • The search feature in Salesforce is great. You can search by work order number, customer number, customer name, contact name, among many other things. It is very easy to find what you are looking for.
Cons
  • Certain packages offered by Salesforce Community Cloud have an odd "shared success" payment model that may not be suitable for all companies.
  • A large number of features available may be overwhelming for new users.
Salesforce Community Cloud is best suited for business-to-business sales. SFCC makes it very easy to keep all contacts, quotes, contracts, etc. organized for prospects and customers. Everything is easily viewed in history & can be accessed across multiple departments. The hierarchy tool allows you to see how accounts and sub-accounts are related. SFCC may be less useful for companies that do not deal with customers that have multiple account levels.

Customizable, functional, slightly challenging to independently implement

We just implemented [Salesforce Experience Cloud (formerly Salesforce Community Cloud)] this year, and we are currently planning to initially use it as a customer portal where customers can log in to check status of their cases, search their company's cases, and link out to our already-existing help and community sites. Eventually, we plan to migrate our help center and community information into our experience as well. This is primarily used by our customer success team with input from marketing.
  • Pre-built templates are sleek, customizable, and easy to navigate as an end-user
  • The level of customizability allows you to create a truly branded experience for customers
  • The ability to collect data around usage is powerful
Cons
  • The documentation for implementing Experience Cloud can be a bit confusing as their rebranding hasn't made it's way into all articles, resulting in different terminology being used to refer to the same thing
  • Some things are not as intuitive regarding their customizability, so there's a bit of a learning curve (i.e. Lightning apps can't be used to customize layouts in Experience Cloud)
[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.
