Certinia's Professional Services Cloud automates and streamlines engagement delivery

Having worked with Certinia PSA for over 5 years, I find it to be an excellent tool for managing professional services at any organization. The tool is robust and Certinia is continuously rolling out new features and functionality to improve it!

Pros

* Customizability - PS Cloud allows organizations to curate the tool for their unique needs.
* Features - the functionality offered in PS Cloud is vast and comprehensive. From project automations to staffing to revenue recognition, it is a complete tool for managing professional services.

Cons

* While the tool is very customizable, the customizations require the knowledge and capacity of Salesforce Admins and Developers. In a world governed by SOX controls, these resources are usually "behind" a tech team's "wall" so making changes to the tool are not as agile\dynamic as they could be if Certinia could find a way to section off at least the configurable custom settings of its tool from SF.

Overall we are really happy with our use of PS Cloud and leverage it every day as part of our services organization.

Pros

Very easy to implement and start getting benefits near term.

Cons

Lots of options to weigh for set up and overall use. Easy to get bogged down on complicated areas that wont materialize or are minor parts of a business.

I would not recommend- it's find and does the job if you need limited functionality but for the price tag it wouldn't be worth it- we paid for a long term contract and invested a lot so we were forced to try and make it work and it was a huge pain.

Pros

Obviously, it integrates very well with Salesforce so you can have you SF admin do a lot of the implementation rather than having a dedicated person.

Cons

It is not user friendly, it lacks a lot of customization, things seem to always be more difficult when using this system than it should be.

Our migration from our legacy PSA tool to Certinia has been a great business decision. We would not be able to run our business effectively had we not made this decision when we did.

Pros

Built on the SFDC platform and therefore, tightly connected with Opportunity Management in SFDC sales cloud and delivered on a platform we already used and have the ability to support. Additional 3rd party tools available to integrate to accounting systems.

Cons

That it is built on a platform and that there are many ways one can accomplish the same task or transaction. This made learning the system architecture harder and longer.

Alternatives Considered

NetSuite OpenAir

Reasons for Choosing Professional Services Cloud

Lack of reporting. Lack of data attributes associated with Projects, Accounts, billing events. Lack of functionality surrounding project governance and portfolio reporting.

Switched From

Harvest

Reasons for Switching to Professional Services Cloud

Certinia is built on the SFDC platform. Doing business with Certinia was easier than doing business with Oracle.
