SAP's sales cloud platform is incredibly beneficial for businesses due to its use of a pipeline analogy to manage tasks, detect and address potential process issues, and automate various tasks. This automation includes intelligent sales prioritization, guided selling, improved sales forecasting, and more. As a result, your company gains access to a wealth of historical data and predictive tools, enhancing the overall sales performance.
  • Administration of Prospects, Quotations, and Leads.
  • view all client data within the ERP system.
  • Configurable Approval Workflow with management Control.
The product is suitable for companies with a minimum of 15 salespeople or more. It may not be the best fit for customers seeking basic CRM tools and account management only. SAP Sales Cloud is particularly effective in handling intricate sales processes by integrating marketing tools and comprehensive business operations into a unified platform, centralizing all client data and interactions.

Well, I mostly use it for Digital selling and I taught my Sales team to utilize this amazing tool to its fullest. It has a great User experience which is easy to use and lovely to use.
Unlike similar, I do use it for Pipeline management and they do provide Intelligent selling and forecasting is just cherry on cake.

I love its analytics and how it presents all the data under one tab.

Everyone on the team has gotten experienced in how to use it and to execute in both Retail and B2B expansion. I'd say everything is to the level of SAP as it stands on its own brand name.
  • Amazing UI
  • Retail and B2B execution
  • Scalable Selling as no need to measure ourselves
  • Analytics
  • Intelligent Forecasting
  • In the multiselection mode, Select all is limited to 1000 records.
  • In the Results tab, under Survey, the shape of the Export button isn’t consistent. This button will be optimized in future release.
  • Panes of type Browse and Collect, Hierarchy Graph, SideCarPanel, GanttChart, NetworkChart, NestedLayout, GridLayoutSnippet, GroupCalendarPane aren’t supported.
More suited: Where you have a good enough team to gather all the relevant Sales data, sales team and managers to manage their analytics and business.

Less suited: Vice versa of what I shared above. Just 1 or 2 sales people working on a closly knit company probably won't need it.

  • Motivation for Sales people in our company
  • New things to learn and work better
  • Increased productivity of our sales people
Well, you said it !!..
It does provide what it says: integrate and analyze the sales data and present it in a manner which makes the most sense.

And hence we know: Our leads: Cold and Hot, Our business opportunities and possible curve to push more wherever required.
Well, Quite a product.
To be honest, it was the branding that lured us. We all know how good SAP is and it has lived up to its expectations.

We use SAP CRM 7 mainly by our customer service / call center groups. Our customer service team is mailny in our corporate office but our warehouses throughout US and Canada use it to log calls with customers. We use it to log customer interactions and any "tasks" that need to be followed up on. We also use it for setting appointments in our inside sales group. Some of our Strategic Sales team members have used it to create and track sales leads. The product helps our employees have a good picture of the interactions of our customers with us.
  • Able to see many details about your customer including locations, contact people and their phone and emails
  • Able to see customer interaction history such as all calls into call center and warehouses, interaction with inside sales reps, view return history, complaint history, order history.
  • Able to set appointments for calling customer back.
  • Able to create tasks for other departments to follow up on with regard to taking care of customer needs
  • SAP CRM could be easier to customize. Our users are always wanting something other than what is standard and you have to have an ABAP team to help. The user has no customzation ability.
  • CRM Sales does not have a good way to secure other sales people from seeing your sales pipeline
  • Not enough support sites for SAP CRM 7. Hard to get answers to technical issues
  • Relies on replicating data from SAP ECC so that you have two versions of your customer information. Would like to see SAP ECC as the data source for customers and CRM could have additional data for interactions, sales leads, opportunities, etc.
It is very good for creating and tracking customer interactions. Need to ask: Will you have a big enough support staff to provide functional support as well as middle-ware support? The replication between ECC and CRM is complicated and requires a lot of attention to keep them in sync. After the implementation team leaves will you have enough staff to keep the system up?

  • Positive ROI includes better customer service. Able to route and resolve issues and requests more quickly than just sending emails around.
  • Positive ROI for increased employee efficiency because they have one place to look and see customer history and interactions
Used salesforce.com very briefly so can't fairly compare

  • If you are looking for a pure-play gamification solution, Badgeville is a good answer. Badgeville awards badges, points, missions, has several UI features for your website like modules, toast, and croutons.
  • Reporting is lacking. It doesn't always keep accurate record of activities, and doesn't provide much value add vs. internal reporting of the same metrics.
  • No rewards program, or features other than simply points that might provide more value to the user community you are trying to create.
  • I expected to see a strong correlation between gamified actions and driving return visitors, but it wasn't the case.
Lithium, Gigya, and Badgeville. We picked Badgeville primarily because we only needed a gamification engine, and not full set of community features like Lithium. Gigya also addresses more than we needed as they are focused on the single sign on (SSO) space, and gamification is just a feature for them.
The software basically performs as advertised, however, there just isn't much "there there".
The customer support team has been good. Good level of response, and we had escalation pasths when necessary.

  • Implemented in-house
The API documentation is good. Development team was able to implement in under two weeks, and normally we were told it was a 12-14 week process.
  • Online training
Training was mostly completed over a couple conference calls, and reading the API documentation. Our developers were able to implement quickly after reading the documentation.

Product was mostly available. A couple accessibility issues did exist when sending API calls, and there was either no response, or a delayed response.
  • No.
