I'd recommend HubSpot Service Hub for sure. When switching from a different platform to HubSpot Service Hub orgs and admins can count with a vast number of trainings in HubSpot Academy and most of them are free. This means users will find the resources they need without needing to reach for their superiors for training sessions or guidance.

SAP Service Cloud is well suited with its omni-channel capabilities giving the possibility to collect service requests from different channels like phone, e-mail or CTI telephony. It also has nice User Interface (when it comes to desktop version). On the other hand SAP Service Cloud needs to be definitiely improved in terms of mobile app, which is horrible and it has limited development possibilities.

Cons
  • The app is a bit confusing and does not seem to have all of the features that the online browser does
  • A bit expensive. I do think it is worth it because of the simpleness but it is a very pricy software
  • Sometimes when you reach out to HubSpot Service Hub support, they send you a link to public articles instead of helping. But sometimes they do jump in and look

  • Integrating SAP Service Cloud with non-SAP systems can be challenging, i faced some hurdles when my IT team took 3 months to integrate the billing data from some other vendor and the system would run slow if you try to pull billing data
  • Slow loading of the pages as compared to other consumer tech softwares we use
  • Implementation costs and complexity of implementation makes it an option only for large enterprises with huge IT teams (and it can take a few months to implement)

Usability
although it has room for improvements, this is still a very robust service hub for any type of software. An internal comment I often heard was, that if we were to make this as good as for example zendesk, it shouldn't have to feel like we must have external systems integrated to the HubSpot Service Hub (in zendesk, most things happen within the same system). I suppose this is more a matter of preference, because just like all other hubs, we see way more benefits of allowing our service working in the same way as the other departments (which won't happen if you have an external service system).

I have found that sometimes issues reported to the SAP takes more time also they lack system support with respect to the priority . Also we don't see RCA for the issues raised. Also turn around time for the issues is not fixed as the support is global sometimes the issues float here and there.

Alternatives Considered
We were previously using Salesforce.com for our Support Team Ticketing System. Our company implemented HubSpot Marketing Hub and were looking at the CRM Hub for sales/business development, so it made sense to use one system that could support our enterprise needs. We had a very bad experience with Salesforce.com - mainly customer support and billing issues. In my opinion, they have rested on their laurels for too long and got too big to take care of their smaller clients. We find the HubSpot Service Hub team members to be easier to work with and support to be better.

Zoho Desk is the ultimate software for clear communication, but when we compared these two according to our needs, we found out that SAP Service Cloud is the best option for us. Since it provides everything in one location, Zoho Desk is somewhat lacking in this area. That was the reason for choosing SAP Service Cloud.

  • Survey results allow is to determine a conference's success, regardless of registration numbers.
  • The comments within the survey and the ease of aggregating those comments allow us to make changes based on the themes of the responses.
  • There are other aspects of the tool that we will begin to use soon that we will be able to speak about in future reviews.

  • After implementing SAP Service Cloud, we've noticed a noticeable drop in the average time it takes to resolve customer queries. Centralized communication and an efficient ticketing system enable our team to respond faster and more effectively.
  • Our customer feedback scores have improved since using the platform. The integrated knowledge base has particularly empowered our team to provide immediate solutions to common queries, elevating the overall customer experience.
  • The platform has streamlined our operations and reduced manual interventions, leading to decreased operational costs related to customer service. Automation features and AI integrations minimize repetitive tasks, allowing our team to tackle more complex customer concerns.
