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."
"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."
"The biggest benefit is seamless usage in terms of an easy-to-use interface and GUI that makes it easy to interact with the entire platform and generate reports effortlessly."
"Scalability to configure and integrate."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"The solution provides a preferred method of backing up data."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"Salesforce provides customization that aligns with our organization's lifecycle management of opportunities. It integrates with our call records, meeting notes, and the Outlook calendar, which helps in mapping roles and managing opportunities effectively."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"Salesforce could improve the performance of their lightning components as they are currently quite heavy on the system and slow to load."
"It is on the expensive side, unfortunately."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"Salesforce introduces a lot of products and sometimes rebrands them, causing confusion. They acquire products like W and retain their names, creating confusion in the market. This confusion isn't related to the product's functionality but rather its positioning and rebranding. For instance, what was once known as Community Cloud is now referred to as Experience Cloud. This can be confusing for business leaders."
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"Although the platform is already set up for you, there's a lot of customization that needs to be done, especially for any new component we start using. For whatever solution we wanted, we had to think for ourselves and design it all on our own. And, unfortunately, there were some components that were not really mature in the beginning, like Tableau for example."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"Salesforce's constant rebranding and name changes can be confusing for both customers and partners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The product's additional features can be expensive."
"I rate this solution a six out of ten for pricing. Though the solution is on the pricier side, it still offers good value for money."
"It is an expensive program."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"I don't know anything about its cost, but I'm sure it has got a nice little price tag that goes along with it."
