Gartner recommends Salesforce

Gartner singled out Salesforce as a market leader in its Magic Quadrant for the CRM Customer Engagement Center (Published June 15, 2021). Salesforce is a Leader in this Magic Quadrant; the same as previous years. In addition to Salesforce’s dominance in the CRM space, Garter added further commentary on the platform’s Service Cloud offering. “Over two-thirds (68%) of the prospective CEC customers with whom Gartner has had contact have shortlisted Salesforce Service Cloud as their first-, second- or third-choice product (its nearest competitor was shortlisted by 42%). During the past 12 months, Salesforce has added over 230 new features and enhancements to Salesforce Service Cloud, including Service Cloud Voice (a preintegrated voice service available through Amazon Connect) and the ability to integrate with other contact center voice offerings. Across the world, midsize B2C and B2B companies and large enterprises should consider Salesforce’s CEC solution.”

The report goes on to note “Salesforce’s global presence, market impact and vision to transform customer service is unmatched by other vendors in this market.” The platform is further commended for its investments in “extending and deepening its industry-specific offerings” and stand-out response to the pandemic by offerings solutions like Work.com and Vaccine Cloud.

Leading analysts have also recognized Salesforce for complementary offerings to the core Sales (CRM) and Service (CEC) Clouds, like Experience Cloud, a Digital Experience Platform (DXP). Put simply, Experience Cloud lets you build digital communities as the single point of engagement for your customers, partners and employees — and digitize business processes to move faster in our digital-first world.

By amplifying Service Cloud with Experience Cloud, you provide users with a CRM-powered experience that seamlessly integrates their data and past behaviors to accelerate their service requests and personalize their journeys.

Surfacing information from your systems of record in a community improves your organization’s insights into customers, which in turn enhances your company’s service capabilities. Extending your investment in the leading CEC solution with a leading DXP solution unlocks the insights, increase ROI and maximize satisfaction.
