Daniyal Farrakh - PeerSpot reviewer
Helpful for reporting and to do risk assessments
Within our group, I think five to six people will probably use the tool. The tool is mostly not used on an everyday basis. It is not used daily but weekly. I think the tool offers usability, and I think we can scale it. As far as our utilization is concerned, I think it is very scalable. It is very flexible. You can utilize the tool for various reasons. You can use the tool to look at your vulnerability scans and upload information. You can do risk assessments. You can do physical site assessments. I think scalability deserves five stars for sure. The scalability seems to be very easy to use and scalable and flexible.
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

"The solution has been very user friendly, easy to use, and we are able to use many applications like Excel or Google sheets."
"I have found the way they structure the workflow and the fact that it a progressive application is valuable for me. This allows me to be able to build it once and use it in multiple formats."
"The tool's integration capabilities enhance our existing workflows and as far as the workflows are concerned, I think it is pretty seamless, intuitive, and interactive."
"The security of the solution is very good."
"A feature I found most valuable in AppSheet is its intuitive UI/UX design, as that makes the platform very easy for customers to use. The solution also has a drag and drop feature that's quite good. I also found AppSheet integration with the cloud platform to be quite good."
"AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use."
"The solution is pretty simple to implement."
"The solution is quite efficient, elaborate, sophisticated, fast, and easy to use."
"The low-code approach to Salesforce Platform is highly valuable."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"It is a fairly useful and user-friendly tool for salespersons. It is very extensive and flexible. You can customize it for your needs, and you can use whatever you want. I like Salesforce."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the unit coordination between sales and marketing when it comes to lead management."
"They are already beginning to implement generative AI."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"It is very modular in approach. It is very light, and it can be used on various devices. It could be used on an Android phone or a laptop, which makes it good for the sales team on the road."
 

Cons

"AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications."
"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."
"There needs to be an improvement in their operation vision. They need to see things more globally because at the moment they are very North-America focused. We do not always have mobile applications and the way we use them is slightly different in Africa from the way they use them in America."
"There are now a lot of low-code or no-code applications available on the web. AppSheet is working on that path."
"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost."
"They could improve by providing more language support other than English, integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."
"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."
"In terms of areas for improvement in AppSheet, I do many things with it, and I'm happy with its data features. The solution has good data features, and though some basic functions may not be there, AppSheet is good enough for me at the moment. I can use it in my business. I like it, and I'm still happy with it because I'm not using it intensively. I just use AppSheet for simple tasks rather than complex ones, though the solution has many use cases. In its next release, what could make the solution better would be more partners for integration, for example, integration with SAP, particularly plugins or APIs with more partners that it could integrate with. There should be an out-of-the-box feature built for integration with more partners."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"Salesforce could improve the performance of their lightning components as they are currently quite heavy on the system and slow to load."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement. It can be hard to learn, but when you have somebody who is experienced in this, it is like anything else. It is like Excel, you'll never know everything about Excel, but there's somebody who would possibly know. I'm sure I don't know all of the ins and outs of Salesforce."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
"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."
"One area that could use improvement is the approval mechanism in the authenticator, which is unstable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of how much AppSheet costs, I'm currently on the free tier, but if I need to add more users to it in the future, I will go with the paid version."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it costs approximately $10 per user a month. I am paying $300 a month for 30 licenses."
"The tool is available at a low price."
"The licensing is on the expensive side, but most clients engage in negotiations to reach a more favorable agreement. For stand-alone or medium-sized clients, it can be relatively costly."
"It is expensive."
"Salesforce is cheap."
"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
