I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Integration processes improve but scripting requires effort
The updates, pricing part, and upgrades to the products are some of the most valuable features with the Salesforce Platform.With the Salesforce Platform, I have minimal experience of approximately one and a half years. I get minimal exposure, once every three or two months, especially during holidays. The Salesforce Platform is connected to the cloud, which is beneficial. When it is integrated with different tools such as Microsoft BI Analytics, it helps us analyze much better. Currently, the integration itself is tricky as we have to use extensive scripting. It should be more of a plug-in and use solution. That is the only issue I see, but otherwise, I appreciate it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's very flexible."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"It is very user-friendly, and intuitive, it will lead you and take you to the next steps."
"What functions we don't get out of Salesforce, we typically receive from third-party applications that extend the capabilities. We integrate a lot of different products with Salesforce."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"What we like the most about it is the fact that it helps us track the record of our projects. It keeps everything on one interface, facilitating the operations and planning."
"There are no major performance issues in the solution."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
"I think the search needs to be improved so as to allow for a broader keyword search."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"Salesforce is a pretty cumbersome product. It's a product that you need to spend quite a bit of time customizing to your unique business model. Unless you have somebody in house that knows it really well, you're better off spending money with a consultant to get what you need."
"I do not like the number of clicks required to get information. The UI is not very intuitive or innovative."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"Salesforce does a user capacity analysis on a regular basis. For example, if you're not using certain areas, you may lose access. If you don't go in and quote and edit quotes, all of a sudden you may lose your rights to quote."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
"It is expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
