Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

We chose Service Cloud because of its deep, native integration with Salesforce, unified billing, and for the fact that we didn't have to learn or train on an entirely new platform. These other products were excellent, but for us it was more time and cost effective to use Salesforce Service Cloud for our support and service center applications.

I have not used other technologies extensively. In making the decision to go with Service Cloud we looked at some very strong competition. Some had better UIs and one-off features we really liked, but for a whole integrated package Service Cloud was more mature and had more capabilities. Especially in integrating with the Sales teams here.

The chat functionality and the app of Zopim is pretty robust and functional. I do feel like Zopim/Zendesk do have features and a very clean UI that at times does over perform Salesforce.

I think SFDC Service Cloud provides more integration to other service desk features than other tools I have used or implemented. It is typically the very first solution I would review before considering others.

SalesForce is lighterweight when compared to some of the other CRM's that are borderline business intelligence products. SF lacks in the analytics department when compared to something like SAP BO or MS Dynamics w/ Power BI

Salesforce has increased their traction in the SMB space for service with the acquisition of Desk.com. It provides a good entry level solution for customer service and knowledge for less complex organizations. Additionally, it gets them up and running quicker. Without Desk.com, many customers would have previously gone with Zendesk, but the advantage companies have with Desk is that when they grow, they can easily grow into the full Salesforce Service Cloud suite without needing to redeploy or rearchitect. While other companies are now making a bigger splash in the news about cloud based service offerings, Salesforce has the most experience and is a constant innovator in that space, so they frankly lead the pack. Salesforce has consistently grown the breadth of their service products and in time added premium licensed features as standard products, which is a very nice benefit.

It is refreshing as it is simpler and is cloud based so implementation costs are comparatively less but Remedy is a legacy tool that was made only for Software support so the features and functionality are better

This is the only case management system I have used. We selected the Salesforce Service Cloud because Salesforce is the platform used for our CRM and pipeline management, so the reporting and tracking of all components are easily integrated.
