Enhanced Customer Service Platform
Salesforce provides a more robust set of features than most other alternatives. Since Service Cloud is part of the Salesforce platform and since our company has been on Sales Cloud for several years, it was an easy choice to select Service Cloud. The transfer of customer data between the modules is critical for our business.
Service Cloud is just a more comprehensive solution within a great ecosystem. It was natural to use Service Cloud since we're using Sales Cloud. It's a highly adaptable product that can grow with your business and it's needs whether it's adding users or entire pieces of functionality. You don't need a highly technical developer on staff to do enhancements, although it helps.

Salesforce Service Cloud is a sturdy platform and built for enterprise level clients
Zendesk has it's own challenges in terms of Administrator difficulties and a completely different back-end than Salesforce Service Cloud. I would recommend Salesforce Service Cloud if you need a clean database of Companies and Contacts. Zendesk does not excel in overall CRM management. Zendesk is built more transactional help centers where you may get thousands of tickets each day and don't need to keep clean the customer's previous interactions. The more enterprise and sophisticated your customer level is the more I would recommend Salesforce Service Cloud (example healthcare, finance, etc.), whereas Zendesk is better for say e-commerce or retail clients where you need to move quickly and don't need previous interactions stored very well.

Great for the organized and the forgetful!

Great Product for Small Businesses
Salesforce Service Cloud has more unique customization features that benefit the organization as a whole.

Salesforce Service Cloud is an Awesome Product
All of the software's are well established and good, but what gave the edge to us its easy integration capability with other systems, experience cloud integration and Einstein analytics which made us move forward Salesforce. Salesforce also have better service and industry recommendations along with features and 3 updates per year also made us move toward Salesforce Service Cloud.

Salesforce Service Cloud overview
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Salesforce service cloud is more configurable than Zendesk and Freshdesk. It has its own inbuilt AI chatbot also which further improves service agent efficiency. Salesforce is more integration agnostic and has pre-built connectors with multiple 3rd party systems. However, in terms of pricing it is priced at a premium compared to the other solutions

- CedCommerce Marketplace Software (B2C) and Adobe Marketing Cloud
We were after a robust and very scalable solution, which could be rapidly implemented. Salesforce Service Cloud not only fitted the bill, but it was much easier to source skills and find on-line learning to help achieve our goals. Although the other technologies could have met the requirements, they would have taken longer to implement and it was harder to find the right resources to help undertake the work at that time.
Service Cloud is linked to our internal Salesforce CRM tool which is a huge advantage. It allows everything in one place and also allows us to integrate with other tools such as Kimble.
Salesforce allows a lot more visibility and allows us to build better reporting. It is initially trickier to set up and learn, however, comprehensive training and processes have lead to increased customer satisfaction and retention.

Flexible, simple and future proof!
This solution provided our organization a flexible platform. The other solutions were rigid or required complex integrations.

Horrendous Product, Consider All Other Options
Salesforce is lightyears behind Zendesk. You have to be trained as a Salesforce admin to do anything, while Zendesk takes minutes to set up and is actually customer friendly. There are not native telephony options within Salesforce and the tools you use to integrate are handled through other companies. If you have a support issue you have to reach out to a separate company, which is worthless.
We previously used a home grown, proprietary system for our needs. This started to get costly and clunky as our database grew. We ended up going with Salesforce because they are purely cloud based. They also have a large footprint and very robust solution so they help us migrate to the platform as well as can scale as our business grows.
- SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation)
Well, I worked with SAP in the past when I was in other companies. It was way more complex and not user-friendly. You had to take a lot of steps in order to accomplish simple tasks and not everyone could work at the same time in the same program. I would 100% recommend Salesforce Service Cloud before any other competitor.

SalesForce Service Cloud, a capable product overall
Zendesk changed their agreements making us unable to continue with them due to our agreements with our customers. SalesForce allowed us to maintain our customer agreements.
April 23, 2021
Great for Customer service needs
I used other products in another company as a database and can say that Salesforce Service Cloud is much more user friendly for customer service needs and makes work faster to process than the named program before. Integration between departments is more clear and simple to access. No need to call your colleague to ask [for] detailed explanations of tickets.

Service Cloud has great reporting and time tracking as well as serviceable ticketing workflow and collaboration
I wasn't involved with the selection of this tool, but I used ServiceNow at a previous employer and preferred the ease of use and workflow of ServiceNow. Both offer customized templates, which is great, but ServiceNow was simpler to design and change. Salesforce has more time tracking and reporting features, though.
Salesforce provides infinitely more features than Freshdesk, particularly regarding reporting. We previously felt we had squeezed as much as we could out of Freshdesk, however the possible functionalities and customisation of Salesforce seems endless! That said, I think if you are after straightforward CRM software Freshdesk may be more straightforward to use.

One of the best clouds for CRM with a great feature set
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM)
I have used Microsoft Dynamics in the past and I feel that Salesforce compares positively to it. While both software offers cloud based service and a mobile app, Microsoft Dynamics doesn't support integration with Gmail. One of the reasons we like Salesforce so much is that it can integrate with your email.

Best CRM Ever
A CRM should be simple to set up and stable enough to develop with your business. Since they aren't designed to fit across all areas of your business or address more nuanced business needs, some CRM solutions that claim to be easy can actually trigger problems as you scale. Salesforce solutions cover sales, operation, marketing, and more, so Salesforce customers can also reduce their total stack and save money. If you're a budding solo entrepreneur or work for a large corporation in a heavily controlled market, there's a Salesforce solution for you.

Our service center relies on Service Cloud
- Five9 and Genesys PureCloud
This product integrates other products to work alongside and inside it. We choose to go with Salesforce Service Cloud to work with our adapter of choice. This worked out so well, that when we eventually used a different adapter we already had Salesforce Service Cloud to support it. With or without the adapter, we would continue to use it as the staff has really enjoyed the UX and the features.
