Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce Communities

Currently developing as a client facing portal, where clients can submit cases, interact with others, source knowledge articles, etc. It has not yet been released, we are continuing to work through getting it set up exactly how we want.
  • The set up for basic functionality is easy.
  • Provides a space for collaboration among all users.
  • Different access levels among users.
  • More specific customization would be nice. Specifically, not having to chose one specific template. In some cases, we wish we could chose 2 at once!
  • Ways of displaying/categorizing the knowledge base for users could be improved.
  • Displaying/hiding specific data could be more straightforward for managers/admins.
  • It's taken too long to get off the ground. Since we are still working on getting it configured, we have yet to see any type of ROI on it.
It allows us to expose certain aspects of a customer/client's account and even allows them to update fields that are useful to our internal teams. Having one 'unified' system is a game changer - no matter where you go.
It's a great space for clients/customers to access articles and participate in feedback/community setting with a group. As long as you have someone who is well versed in setting up and maintaining the community then I really can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be beneficial in some aspect.
