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

"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X)."
"It is easy to create builds and distribution is very easy."
"I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform."
"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."
"Salesforce has helped us customizing the system as per business user needs."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Platform are its analytics capabilities."
"Overall, it's been a good solution and we've been happy with it."
"The reporting capabilities are pretty user-friendly."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
"The Salesforce Platform has not gone down in the time we have used it, it is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"Scalability to configure and integrate, as Salesforce is easily configurable and, with the ability to build APIs, almost anything can be integrated, thus allowing more capability, more data, and more value to the system."
 

Cons

"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"Titanium Studio, provided for development on titanium, happens to ignore changes while building and at times it stops printing console messages, so that every time you have to test your code, you have to clean your project."
"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"It has hung many times during login and use. Also, it needs a little enhancing for debugging for Android apps."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields. It could be a bit more light if the field guys want to use it on a mobile phone on the road. For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business."
"Salesforce at that point doesn't make a whole lot of sense for many Microsoft users."
"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 pricing of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement since, right now, I am not sure if Salesforce Platform has any plans for start-ups or small businesses."
"Salesforce Platform could improve the UI and the responsiveness of their servers. The UI needs to be made user-friendly for all users."
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
