Recommendations to others considering Offprem Technology:
Committed to a project that they were supposedly experts in. Sales guys were great in the beginning. As soon as there was a signed contract they went MIA. Wouldn't even return a phone call. Surprise.
Things only got worse with the implementation. First, their team had extremely limited experience with Salesforce Financial Services Cloud. They had "experience" but it was limited, at best.
After the 4 months it took to implement FSC, we began implementing and setting up Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.
After we had MCAE installed, we had duplicate leads being created, over and over again. Nobody on their team could resolve the issue. After a couple of feeble attempts to resolve, they just stopped communicating.
From this point forward, all I kept getting was that the project was complete and solving the duplicate lead issue would have to be another project - we had used all of hours. Ridiculous. We hadn't even used MCAE at this point. Every new lead we tested was duplicating. Obviously, not something you would want to happen in your new CRM.
When I finally got a phone number to call and try to talk with the business owner, he answered the phone surprised that I was actually calling, acted like he wasn't the person to talk with, and told me that he would have the project manager/implementer call me. Back to chasing my tail. All I got was their run around BS.
Long story short, it took ME 2 months to find the answer that eventually solved the duplicate lead issue. We literally had to check one box in the setup. WHY WOULDN'T THE MCAE EXPERT I PAID TO IMPLEMENT THIS NOT KNOW THE ANSWER??
The only thing that makes sense to me is either negligence or ignorance.
The new consulting firm I hired AND my Salesforce AE were both puzzled by the fact that they couldn't solve that problem.
If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear, lie to you about their experience level, take your money, then HIDE behind their keyboard and monitor, and avoid solving problems, HIRE THESE GUYS.
Even better, they will cause problems so they can try to hold you hostage to pay more money to solve a problem they created.
Terrible experience. Would never recommend. I would be embarrassed if I represented this company. If I could give ZERO STARS I would. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
