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)."
"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Platform are its analytics capabilities."
"I love the report building that is available."
"It is an easy product to use and does great things for our company. It keeps track of all of our sales activity."
"The most valuable aspect is that all data is stored in one place, making it easy to find what is needed and to report on it."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"Most of the apps allow you to try out the product before buying it. The trial period depends on the product and varies from a week to 30 days."
"A very flexible solution."
"Salesforce Platform is effective as it provides frameworks and pre-built components."
 

Cons

"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."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"There is a considerable effort required to load the data, involving processes like XML connections."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"Salesforce could improve the performance of their lightning components as they are currently quite heavy on the system and slow to load."
"We have a lot of strategic accounts and large accounts that are tied with all the growth and acquisitions across North America, being able to tag parent-child accounts in an easier fashion would be better. This is the biggest pain point is associating parent to child and being able to align and manage it better. Overall a better parent-child relationship between accounts would be a benefit."
"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"
"It would be better if they can add more from the pricing and functionality perspective. It is very expensive. I would be more than happy if they drop the prices. From the licensing perspective, if they can add more functionality, I would be more than happy."
