What is Salesforce Service Cloud?
7 Key Ways Service Cloud Empowers Companies to Deliver Frictionless Service:
CONSOLE
With Service Cloud, you can manage all of your cases faster, in a unified agent experience. And the Salesforce1 Platform makes the console really sing — on your desktop and mobile devices.
COMMUNITIES
Service Cloud Communities allow customers to help themselves and each other. Wherever they are and whatever device they are on, communities give them the tools for self-service troubleshooting.
MULTI-CHANNEL
Multi-channel customer service is a whole new ballgame. With connected objects and predictive intelligence, Service Cloud gives you the power to provide the customer service of the future. Now.
KNOWLEDGE
Quickly search your knowledge base for relevant answers. Or make it easy for customers to do it themselves. Either way, your customers get the answers they need, exactly the way they want to get them.
SOCIAL SERVICE
Deliver service to your customers on the social media channels where they live, on whatever device they are using. Give your agents the tools for collaboration that allow them to deliver outstanding customer service.
AGENT COLLABORATION
With Chatter, agents can quickly escalate cases to experts to close cases faster. And with the Salesforce1 Platform, your Chatter feed is integrated into the Service Cloud console for a truly unified experience, whether at your desktop or on a mobile device.
MOBILE
Manage Service Cloud cases from anywhere with the Salesforce1 Platform — the fastest, smartest platform for customer service.

Awesome Ticketing System
Users are really more productive than previous tool
Everything I need on one page
I love that I can manage our sales team's goals vs. actuals all in one place. I can see exactly where each prospect/opportunity is in the sales process, who the contact is and information about the company all on one screen. With the links that let me get more information about each of those areas, it's a seamless process.
Outstanding Customer Service Platform
Excellent tool ,easy to configure and setup with minimal code.
Complex customer support software
We tried our best to customise Salesforce and for a year we used it but we found that the kind of features we needed it required a Salesforce consultant team to build it however with an extra cost with a dependency so we moved to Zendesk because they provided exactly what we needed at a much less cost and without needing a consultant. Mid-size companies should never use Salesforce cloud unless if their requirements are very high which cannot be fulliled by a out of box customizated product like Zendesk.

Awesome Ticketing System
Pros
With Service Cloud, we have a complete overview on our Customers. From Lead to Case, we can log all customers activities and be proactive for their needs.
Cons
Often, you must adapt your process to the tool, not the tool to your process and that's the hardest part of Salesforce implementation. Also, multiple administrators can destroy your organization.

Pros
I love that, compared to Salesforce Classic, I can see all of the information about the Prospect or Client that I need all on one page. I don't have to go from one page to another
Cons
It's not like any of the other CRMs that our sales team has used so there was a bit of a training curve for some of them.

Pros
Only reports. They have a very good Reports which can be used to build a Dashboard which are very easily customised.
Cons
It is highly complex and it doesn't come with out of box customization. For every single feature implementation u will need a. Consultant. It is only suitable for big call center provided if they maintain a Salesforce engineering team to create and implement all the features as per the Support departments requirements.
Great product for servicing customers
Pros
I work in internal operations and find SSC to be the most versatile tool in our arsenal. There is just so much that it can do and Salesforce is always looking for ways to continue to expand on its capabilities.
Cons
The learning curve, but this is why they offer trainings/certifications.
