Salesforce Service Cloud review

Salesforce Service Cloud is the most configurable option for large contact centers, but it is also the most expensive to run. The service pricing page starts with Starter Suite at $25 per user per month, while the Core service edition costs $195 per user per month billed annually. Telephony is a separate layer: the Contact Center package costs $125 per user per month with native voice and unlimited platform voice minutes, Partner Contact Center costs $50 per user to connect telephony from a preferred partner, and bundles with Amazon Connect run from $75 for 750 minutes to $200 for 5,000 minutes per user. In each case calls become data in the agent workspace, next to the case. The breadth is unmatched, but the bill grows with every add-on and most teams need an admin or partner to set it up.
