We love SalesforceIQ! Perfectly integrated and easy for my team to use.
So many. Ease of use, trackable for sales cycle, many more.
Pros
This software is awesome. It takes the stress out of constantly updating your CRM by making it seamless and integrated with our email. It captures a lot automatically, giving my team more time to close deals. We love the customizable pipeline features as well. Great software overall.
Cons
I have hard time thinking of cons for this software. It was so easy for my team to implement. It is expensive I guess, that'd be the only con.

Works Great! Increases our Closing Percentage by 20%
So far its been very good. We also use other modules from Salesforce. After demoing about 4 packages, we went with Salesforce. Knowing that they are the primary leader in CRM, helped in that decision, as most of our other applications have APIs to intergrate with.
Pros
The integration with all of our other systems and software.
Cons
The setup is a little tricky when using other software with Salesforce. It really helps to have good support from any other vendors products you want to integrate with Salesforce. Examples being Quickbooks, ShipRush, Verizon Connect, etc. We have many departments and different software in each. So being sure you have API support is critical.

If my company could only use one software for Sales and Operations Management, this would be...
It's been great so far. Extremely powerful tool that I haven't received much training on and yet it is easy and intuitive to use.
Pros
The product is very powerful and intuitive.
Cons
If you're not an admin, is difficult to know the rules behind the dashboard reports and automated emails.

Great product, hard to tailor to companies specifically due to the complex algorithms.
I have over 5 years of experience with Salesforce, we used it when I was a production designer for a print and graphics firm. We loved it, but yet we experienced some of these same hardships in this company I am with now, the transition and tailoring to what we do specifically is just not there. It is up to us as employees to make the software work the most productive for us, and that should not be expected from us when we have sales and other projects to handle ourselves.
Pros
There are endless possibilities on what you can do, and what you can achieve with this product. The AI software is a great tool if you are able to use it.
Cons
Too complex on tailoring the software, I feel like a simple request would take months to get accomplished. I noticed for someone with Salesforce experience myself, our transition from BNTouch to Salesforce was seamless, but many of my co-workers were left in the dark and felt like they had a lack of training provided from your team when we launched this new software.

Using Salesforce is incredibly easy for my team
This was an awesome experience and an essential for an organization hoping to more readily attract and hold clients on the web
Pros
I truly like how Salesforce is the most incredible in its industry and offers extraordinary CRM programming. It is ideally suited for connecting with potential clients in view of their past interest in the organization as well as what they would require to remain drawn in and retained. I love the manner in which you can modify it and it mechanizes each thing so extraordinary from messages to calls its incredible.
Cons
When first starting to use Salesforce, it can seem overwhelming. The pages feel extremely crowded when you don't know where to look for something because there is an abundance of information. Salesforce becomes easier to use with more experience, yet for new clients there may be a learning curve.
