Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce.com

We use SF across multiple departments, but not all. It's used at our central location for all of our customer and opportunity information - it's particularly useful for managing the communication about accounts between the Business Development team, Sales team, and the Customer Success team. Having a central location for it all is particularly useful because we are all spread between 4 different buildings in 3 countries.

Pros

  • A central location for all of our information.
  • Offers the ability to create and arrange dashboards to track metrics.
  • Offers the ability to run meaningful reports.

Cons

  • Loading times can be quite slow.
  • When I am trying to edit information, it often takes a while to load the edit screen and a long time to save it when I'm done editing.
  • There are a lot of cluttered views.
  • It has streamlined our forecasting meetings through the use of dashboards.
  • It's easy to keep track of lost business/when to reignite lost opportunities.
  • Integrations with customer success tools have been good for communication and identifying ideal times for expansion.
It is well suited for sharing information across multiple groups in multiple countries/continents. It would be better if there were easier ways to use the chat and commenting functions.
I can't really think of many scenarios where it is not appropriate, as there appears to be a lot of choices in terms of levels of functionality, so you could tailor it to different situations.
