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…

In terms of customization and requesting features that need to be enabled, the process is longer than ideal. As a user, I have very limited access rights to Salesforce Platform, which limits my capability. If a user were granted access to consume more features from Salesforce Platform and the system could show exactly who needs to grant that particular access, that would be a very good improvement. If I need to gain access to a specific feature within Salesforce Platform, it should point me to who in my organization manages it. If the system is able to tell me who exactly is managing it, I can get in touch with that particular user to understand whether I can gain access. This particular feature seems to be lacking, not only in Salesforce Platform, but in any CRM application.

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."
"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"What I really like about Salesforce is that it's very intuitive, and it's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity and develop custom reports for management."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"Features they are integrating to the other services."
"The interface makes it an easy solution to use."
"I find Salesforce Platform to be stable."
"It is very user-friendly, and intuitive, it will lead you and take you to the next steps."
"Salesforce Platform is effective as it provides frameworks and pre-built components."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn."
"It may be slow, but that is relative. When compared to Siebel CRM, which was large, clunky, and extremely slow, Salesforce seemed fast to me."
"Salesforce's constant rebranding and name changes can be confusing for both customers and partners."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"There is always room for improvement."
"Salesforce Platform may be on the expensive side. However, getting value for money depends on how it's used."
"Simplification is something it needs. Every time you get the engineers involved, they make things a little too complicated. It might be more beneficial to simplify everything for quick and easy reference."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
 

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."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of this solution depends on negotiations. It is somewhere between expensive and reasonable. There is always additional costs for consulting services. It's the kind of solution that requires consulting, but it is not a licensing cost. It is a consulting cost. It is CAPEX versus OPEX."
"Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
