    Salesforce Experience Cloud is well-suited for organizations that have clients who periodically or routinely need to access historical data or documents. The product also offers an exceptionally effective tool to engage with customers around support/service issues and the entire Case management functionality built into the Salesforce platform. The product might be less well-suited in environments where there is exceptionally high staff turnover within customer accounts, or where there is a substantial lack of very basic computer skills.

    Salesforce
    • The documentation for implementing Experience Cloud can be a bit confusing as their rebranding hasn't made it's way into all articles, resulting in different terminology being used to refer to the same thing
    • Some things are not as intuitive regarding their customizability, so there's a bit of a learning curve (i.e. Lightning apps can't be used to customize layouts in Experience Cloud)

    Usability is pretty streamlined, especially if you're familiar with other Salesforce products, but even if not, take it from me, as I just entered the technological space about two years ago, that this product is pretty simple to learn. You don't have to jump in with your head underwater. Small wins and learnings along the way are what foster long-term understandings and enable your evolution alongside the product. I definitely recommend Salesforce Trailhead along with it

    We have weekly calls with our Salesforce reps. They bring new ideas to the table and help with taxonomy builds. They have also answered many questions and connected us to the right people for us to grow our knowledge and utilization of the platform. They are a good partner overall in comparison.

    I have used Datatel/Colleague/Recruiter before. There were issues because only one person at the institution was able to have the student's record open at a time. This was problematic when collaboration between departments was necessary especially in the case of admissions, financial aid, and registration. We also had to do our work and then log out before asking a questions of another department. Sometimes simultaneous use was necessary. However, this was years ago and they may have since updated the program.

    • Improved online admission application completion rates from mid-60%s to mid-80%s.
    • Positive user experience from start-to-finish to leverage one data system for all prospective student data
    • Fewer data integrations transforming and loading sensitive student data by leveraging Salesforce Community Cloud to access already existing data

    Channelyze.io Screenshots

    Screenshot of Manage leads across the channel:
Managing leads across three tiers has always been challenging, Until now! Channelyze makes it easy for any partner or distributor to capture, track, register and close leads. A chat feature for each lead helps improve the communication across the channel and increases the chances of closing the lead.Screenshot of Intelligent deal registration:
Providing partners with a way to protect their deals from being closed by other partners is an important yet challenging process for many vendors. It often requires the vendor to have manual oversight of the sales activities taking place and can be prone to error.

With Channelyze, vendors can define the exact criteria that partners must meet in order to benefit from deal protection and those eligible partners can register to protect their deals with a single click. Channelyze uses a fuzzy matching process to alert the vendor when a partner tries to register a deal that has already been registered by another partner and lets the vendor reject the new registration request.Screenshot of Reporting and analytics:
Create the reports you need to see how your channel is performing. Catered dashboards for each user give a visual representation on reach, frequency, and yield so they know where to focus their efforts. With Channelyze, vendors, distributors and resellers get a complete view of how individual product families are performing, how partners are performing and how certain geographies are looking. You have a powerful view on the state of retention, revenues, churn, win rate and pipelines.Screenshot of Price lists:
Pricing deals should be easy for your partners and with Channelyze it is. By entering your localised price lists into Channelyze, partners can price their deals simply by selecting the products and quantities they need to fulfil the deal. Channelyze does the rest. It calculates the list price, the partner margin, incorporating any vendor-specified discounts and shows the corresponding billing schedule.Screenshot of Assets:
Provide partners with sales brochures, one pagers, sales presentations and any other assets that will help partners sell. Assets can be targeted at specific regions and partner types and can be co-branded with the partners logo.

Assets may also be published externally, with performance metrics and lead conversion ratios available in a simple dashboard.Screenshot of Renewals:
It is a well-known fact that renewals are difficult to manage, especially when working with channel partners. The traditional CRM and PRM systems are not built for this purpose. Channelyze keeps track of every deal that has been conducted through the channel and makes the information easily available to renewal teams at the vendor, distributor, and reseller for when it is time to renew.
