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…

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."
"They are already beginning to implement generative AI."
"It has definitely improved how we function."
"The product is pretty responsive."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"The lead conversion process in Salesforce Sales Cloud is extremely valuable."
"Salesforce Platform has helped streamline our sales operations, which has essentially increased the effectiveness of our sales operations."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"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."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
"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."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"They need an easy way of getting details and then adding to it and then being able to do it in a more simplified way"
"The reporting for Salesforce could be approved. It is a manual process and it would be useful to have a guide or videos on how to generate reports or any other cool things that you could do with the platform."
 

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 expensive."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
"In general, the price is an area where there is always room for improvement."
"The price of Salesforce Platform is very expensive. There are other solutions that are similar that cost a quarter of what Salesforce Platform does, such as HubSpot."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
"The cost is reasonable for the corporations I work for. I would say an average would be around $100 per month per user."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
