Enables you to boost your sales by displaying customized upsell offers to your customers when they are more likely to accept them on the add-to-cart or checkout option
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…
Yasser_Anter - PeerSpot reviewer
Has customization and integration capabilities which increase efficiency
Salesforce could improve by offering AI features or functionalities to help business decision-makers analyze business history, suggest forward strategies, and participate in events. The previous version had a complicated interface where multiple pages and data entries were required, which was not pleasant for sales teams or business users. Also, deploying Salesforce took a long time, about four to five months, which is not ideal for any business.

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."
"A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience."
"Scalability to configure and integrate."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"The support is very good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is flexible."
"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"I would like to have integration with Google."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"I would like Salesforce to recommend related opportunities within the organization that have been taken to closure, so we can fast track new opportunities based on past experiences."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing."
"In terms of features, for our business needs, we have more than enough right now. There is nothing that we are missing or would like to add. They can maybe share some best practices so that when you are starting, you can stick to a good process, and you don't have to think so much about the process that you want or your CEO or CMO wants. The process should not be based on one person in the company. Having some best practices will make it easier to get started. These best practices can be based on what has worked for others. Its basic version is pretty simple, and the customizations are up to the companies, which can make startups like ours lose a lot of time in figuring out what all stakeholders want rather than what would work."
"The solution's UI is horrible."
"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."
"I think that Salesforce can improve lead management when it comes to B2C. I would like to have more features specifically related to the B2C segment. The current process where you create a lead that's in the B2C segment and it creates an account makes no sense."
 

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."
"The product's additional features can be expensive."
"In general, the price is an area where there is always room for improvement."
"It is expensive."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"It is expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
