Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce Service Cloud
Salesforce Service Cloud is used across all departments within the technology business of our organization. It is used as a ticketing system to assign support tasks to the right groups and individuals. Time spent is tracked and reported on. Support specialists can manage and prioritize their queue and keep track of support cases that can be open for lengthy periods of time.
- Customizable templates for specific support flows.
- Time track reporting and other reports.
- Easy queue management.
- End users find opening a ticket cumbersome.
- Too many communication options sometimes makes communication unwieldy.
- There should be an option to pause time during a Waiting (Internal) state.
- As an administrator who provides support, Service Cloud has been extremely valuable for managing and prioritizing support requests against project work.
- Time tracking and reporting features saves valuable time and helps with capacity management.
- Some users avoid using the system because they are uncertain of which queue to submit their case to.
I wasn't involved with the selection of this tool, but I used ServiceNow at a previous employer and preferred the ease of use and workflow of ServiceNow. Both offer customized templates, which is great, but ServiceNow was simpler to design and change. Salesforce has more time tracking and reporting features, though.
