What differentiates Salesforce Starter from other similar products?
It is an open architecture product that needs someone to create an individualized CRM. It is great if someone has greater needs than mine but it is very costly to have a third party create your CRM. So, for me, open architecture was not necessary or convenient but, for a bigger company with greater needs it is probably a great product.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really do not have one.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There was an inconvenient customer service experience that is not in the U.S. and it can take up to 48 hours for someone to call you back. This process was for the upgrade in customer service. It was not convenient or efficient if I had a quick question. It was not convenient because i never knew when they would call me back. So, if i was on an appointment or on a call and could not answer, I had to go through the process all over again to get a simple questions answered.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is generally for larger companies that wish to spend thousands of dollars to have a third party consultant to create the CRM. It is generally not for the smaller company wishing to use the product immediately. They have an "out of the box" CRM for the financial industry but this too needed additional tailoring to make it work. Much of the CRM was not using financial industry terms but was set up for the general users that may use it in manufacturing or other industries.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
Cons
- Less Effective Service
- Less Caring
- Wastes Time
