SAP Service Cloud helps us to understand the data insight and improve the processes. Ultimately, it allows us to understand the customer services. It has a user friendly interface which make the job easy to work on it. As a organization, all of these options increase our engagement with the customers.
  • Improve Customer support process
  • User friendly interface
  • Customisation
  • Product training can be made easily accessible
  • Integration can be made little easier
  • Configuration should be made more simple
Working in a supply chain industry, it is very much required to keep track of inventory at the warehouses. It helps me to keep eye of inventory level and updated about logistics activities. However, the team at the warehouses are not that tech savvy so I would believe it can be more simplified.

I used SAP Service Cloud to make our customer service better. It helps us answer customer questions faster and keeps track of what they need. This tool also lets us learn from customer trends and makes sure we provide good service. We use it for things like helping customers online, managing information, and connecting with them on social media. It's like a helpful tool that makes sure we give our customers the best service possible.
  • Analytics and Reporting
  • Efficient Ticketing System
  • Unified Customer View
  • Knowledge Base Management
  • Cost Transparency
  • Mobile App Functionality
  • User Interface Complexity
I used SAP Service Cloud to look at a bunch of data about our customers. This helped us see what they liked and didn't like. It was like having a map of customer trends. By using this information, we could make our services better and fix common problems before they became big issues.
I had to be careful with our money. SAP Service Cloud has a lot of features, but they can be expensive. Since we didn't need all of them, we found simpler and more affordable options that still did the job.

We primarily use it to streamline customer service processes. It provides tools for managing customer inquiries, complaints, and service requests efficiently. This includes handling customer interactions through various channels like email, phone, and social media, because we attend thousands of requests every day because of our service. Also we use it the platform for analytics and reporting capabilities, enabling us to analyze service performance, customer satisfaction, and identify areas for improvement.
  • Chat Bot
  • Socia Media
  • e-mail
  • Everything is SAP is close, so anything should be done with consulting, so this is an area that can improve if they lets us to use it.
  • Sap Service sometimes has uptime issues that we discover and would be great if they let us know
  • Is not to user friendly. Requires a learning curve quite relevant.

As being as a analyst I have to maintain the records of emails, calls and other social sites data in collated form. But with the help of SAP Service Cloud tool I can pull all the data into one place which helps me to respond my clients queries instantly and effectively instead of going different channels. It streamline my team workload according to the priority and category wise and my team pick the request accordingly without missing any deadline.
  • It makes my all emails, call logs and other data into one place and my team can easily pick the data as per priority wise.
  • It helps to respond my customer queries very instantly without missing any one the emails.
  • Also it helps to identify the duplicate questions so that we can easily take teh reference from the previous solutions.
  • Improvement in cloud connectivity in remotes having network issue
  • We face challenges sometimes to integrate a chat tool
It is well suited when we need to collate the data from different channels and make it into one place so that we can work on that. With this tool we can manage our data at one place as it pulls together all chats, emails and other data together and it categorise and set the priority accordingly so that my team can pick the request according to the priority wise and respond to each query in a very effective way. It saves a lot of time for us.

The main aspect of what SAP Service Cloud addresses is improving our customer support and issue resolution processes. Using SAP Service Cloud, we can easily track customer inquiries and complaints, ensuring that no issue goes unresolved. The platform helps us maintain a detailed record of each customer interaction, enabling our support agents to provide personalized and effective solutions promptly.
  • Good set of API's allowing integration with other third party solutions.
  • Great integration with other SAP products.
  • Data governance headaches are avoided by proper controls.
  • Documentation varies between versions and it is rather hard to find.
  • AI tools are somehow behind the market level - should be improved.
  • Hard to configure.
If you already are using the SAP ecosystem in your company .... go for this tool. It will easily integrate with your other services. It is well suited for large businesses that work in data-sensitive industries like finance and healthcare due to the built-in data governance and security features. It is less appropriate for small businesses or businesses that need to put in place a fast solution. Also, if you do not use other SAP products, it may be better to find another solution.

We use SAP Service Cloud to streamline and share the communication process with our customers.
Using a CRM software for this helps use share information in real time among the multiple stakeholders within the organisation, and to provide a database for best practices for new account managers.
Using a cloud based solution also allows us to delegate security management, which can be costly if done internally.
  • Clear user interface
  • Security features (MFA Authentication)
  • Integration with other SAP solutions
  • Lack of documentation for some functionalities
  • Lack of multi-language support (especially Japanese)
  • AI features could be improved
*Best suited for managing/streamlining communication with customers in B2B scenarios.
*Suited for businesses who do not want to build a proprietary solution/server infrastructure, since it is a fully managed cloud service.
*Scenarios where a business want to start using a CRM service without having to pay a high license fee for the start.

Earlier more the issue is with data cleaning, data visualisation and make is secured over cloud network. It was a challenging situation which overcome with SAP service and the data is more secured. Easy to keep and mentain the relationship scope with the clients accros the world in more secure way.
  • Data protection
  • Data visualisation
  • Deployment in secure manner
  • Some training docs need to be updated
  • Integration part with existing system is quite complex
  • Some of features took time to get data upload
As the service is more efficiently work with most of the features in smooth manner, it is now easy to understand and handle it to new users as well. Best part is agent dashboard and that feature makes us more interactive with multiple tickets or questions and their assignments and also great monitor system.

We, as a consulting firm and SAP partner we provide SAP Service Cloud installations to our clients. Mainly for SaaS medium to large companies in need of upgrading their actual CRM's or if they want to start a digital transformation and begin to use a new CRM software. The main problem that this software solves is the need of having all client information stored in the same place. Be able to support your client need and have their background in the same place is the main advantage of the platform
  • For SaaS companies with rapidly growing customer databases that need to be organised and well maintained in order to provide a good customer support.
  • Companies with existing on-premise CRM software that need ot update their processes and be fully in the cloud. Both for savings and security.
  • Large companies with manual databases that need to be digitalized and uploaded in the cloud so all the group around the world can access the data.
  • In terms of deployment the software could be a litlle bit more user friendly.
  • Out of the box configurations seems good but are extremely basic and most of the times are not that useful
  • Sometimes the price of the different licenses can be quite expensive compared with competitors.
In my experience the best situations where SAP Service Cloud is implemented is on big ccompanies that have worked with SAP products before. Employees/user knowledge is a key factor for the success of the deployment. Given that sometimes SAP environments are not the most user friendly non savy user may find it difficult to use. I would not recommend it to enterprises that have no SAP products installed.

I have used SAP service cloud to address the queries and concerns of existing customers and resolve any issues via tickets creation and tracking to closure. My use case was to take care of the complaints and service requests raised by social and email channels for a Software as a service company.
  • Seamless integration with multiple channels like social, email, phone
  • Automated insights on the customer including AI generated recommendations and self service options
  • gels well with other SAP solutions, such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP CRM, etc.
  • Integrating SAP Service Cloud with non-SAP systems can be challenging, i faced some hurdles when my IT team took 3 months to integrate the billing data from some other vendor and the system would run slow if you try to pull billing data
  • Slow loading of the pages as compared to other consumer tech softwares we use
  • Implementation costs and complexity of implementation makes it an option only for large enterprises with huge IT teams (and it can take a few months to implement)
SAP Service Cloud is like the Swiss Army knife of customer service for big businesses. Ideal for enterprises dealing with high volumes of customer inquiries and multiple products or service lines. For those in the early stages of business or wanting to quickly prototype customer service solutions, the learning curve and setup time might be too much. Early stage companies with budget constraints - please stay away - it could be an overkill

In our company, the use of SAP Service Cloud makes it easier to connect service operations throughout the company. With its use we achieve customer satisfaction and therefore translates into improvement of the company in general.
  • Connecting business processes
  • Customer service management
  • ticket usage management
  • Sometimes interface is very hard
  • Low adaptability
  • Development is hard to learn
the use of SAP Service cloud Improves interaction with the customer and improves the information exchanged between the different areas of the companies. Also It simplifies data entry, making the way of information storage intuitive, being competitive in agile environments.
we use it to maintain ordered all the informations got from the customer and incidences.

We used SAP Service Cloud as a CRM tool for handling customer service management across the organization. It helps us to categorize the cases and to identify the quicker solution based on the nature of issue reported. It has user friendly interface which is low/no code, which allows us an easy understanding about the service request.
  • Similar Case recommendations
  • Streamline Service processes
  • Categorization of cases
  • Connects to different departments
  • Desktop based utility will be more of helpful to the customers which could be shortcut to the cloud portal.
  • Integration to the SAP Commerce cloud could be more reliable. Faced frequent integration issues to the SAP Commerce cloud through they both run on SAP cloud environment.
SAP Service Cloud is more advanced and well designed platform which can be well used for large scale Retail industry where the end users/customers needs a faster solutions for the service requests.
It is less appropriate where the user community is small and requires less attention.

We use it to capture employee inquiries, track responses, and ensure accountability in providing timely solutions.

Main drive was to make it front and center to all employees, easy embedded buttons within intranet pages, etc., the more, the merrier just so we have a centralized HR ticketing system and not deal with flood of emails to different teams.
  • Quick capture and ticket creation
  • Visibility to employees
  • Centralize inquiries
  • Communication notifications
  • Email triggers/business rules
  • Customizing UI to allow for branding
Well integrated within the banner menu so regardless where employees are navigating they can always find the link to open a ticket.

It is being used as CRM tool for the consumers we have.
Problem Statement :
1. Need Unified CRM tool and migrated from standalone legacy system
2. Tool to have better integration with our SAP ERP system

  • Approval Process for cost / service exceptions
  • Friendly interface for our agents who interact with customers
  • Integration with 3rd party systems
  • Workflow customisations should be simpler
  • Code Changes and deployment workflows should simplified
Wellsuited for starting a CRM platform and process setup in organisation. Well suited for matured organisations.
Not suitable for organisations who are starting to undertand the process and doesnot have ERP solutions / processes in place.

Service Cloud is considered to address our critical pain areas around our Engine Services business. We were using Customer Service module for these use cases in the past, but Service Cloud looks promising with more capabilities that cater to Services Industry. The upcoming revisions and roadmap has a lot more to offer that will address the current gaps.
  • Manage long and short cycle services process
  • Ability to minimize the transactions
  • Few known areas of development - Linking MSOs with Deliveries
  • Ability to make it have Equipments along with the services on the Service Orders
Suits well for complex services business, MRO etc..

We have been using service cloud to support our engineers who works for other businesses to expedite their issues so that they can run their business effectively. Users can log their cases either on our support portal or through email or through phone, once case is logged then it will be assigned to engineer who takes responsibility for completion and also based on support level and SLA , everything will get tracked and will be useful to other engineers who will solve similar kind of issues in future in the form of knowledge articles.
  • Case routing to different support levels based on SLA
  • Knowledge article publish or view can be better so users can find them quickly.
  • Mobile application can have better UI for interactive response.
  • Knowledge article publish can be better as Salesforce
  • Mobile application UI can be better for interactive responses
  • There should be room to have global action as that of Salesforce
It will be very useful if companies wants to expedite the case closure for better customer experience. Will be very useful in reducing overall duration for a particular case closure. Will be very useful if multiple engineers or multiple teams are working on case closure. Will be very useful in reducing overall cost on closing case

  • Functional Capabilities
  • C4C upgrades are not smooth, it always come with some bugs
  • More functional capabilities (front end) can be introduced - fields addition in standard data source, workflows for OWL screen, Custom Workcenter creation from front end etc.
  • Front end trace with code review
This is good product for any industry with limited data but when the data count increases there is an impact on performance, integrations, MDR, workflows, request for external pricing etc.

Our biggest problem was the need to get all of our service organizations onto the same platform. Service Cloud allowed us to do that. Now we are able to process over 3000 customer inquiries per day and provide a wholistic view of our customers to those that need it.
  • Email to Ticket Processing
  • Integration with SAP backend
  • Machine learning - AI to assist users quickly
  • Overall flexibility and extensibility
  • Field Service offering requires an additional product for more features
  • Performance - always room for improvement compared to competitors
Service Cloud is relatively well-rounded for all of our service scenarios. Overall it does not do anything extremely well, but at the same time, it does not do anything poorly either. The system is a very even system for all of our service processes. One area where we have seen good success is around email to ticket handling. We send 3000+ new emails into C4C per day to create tickets and the system handles that volume and all their interactions quite well for customer service.
