Jaemin Baek - PeerSpot reviewer
Has 360 degree customer view but needs to improve workflow
Because Salesforce is a cloud solution, sometimes we have issues with speed. We experience a lot of delays. The data queries are at times separated and do not match properly. To obtain insights from data, we need to map or match the datasets and define the relationships between them. However, in Salesforce it is very difficult to define relationships between datasets. They do not provide any customization features; they are all global/standard. Because the sales department needs many functions to deal with sales or government policies, like taxes, they cannot develop the features in OCE. As a result, we cannot provide Salesforce as a single solution. The workflow process is not complete. They need to achieve more knowledge and experience in this industry.

Customization options empower workflow management, though support understanding can be enhanced
Currently, I am still working with Azure and I use the Azure products for my current work. I use Azure Active Directory. I don't use products like App Service from Azure or Azure Logic Apps, Front Door, but I think it's very straightforward. Once I take the first step to use Azure, I can track myself to use another application, program, or module in Azure. I use Office 365 because we actually have Exchange mail server 2019 on premises. In the last few months, I upgraded from Exchange on premise to use Office 365, which is faster, easier to troubleshoot, and more secure. I use Remote Desktop Services (RDS) as the best solution because I make a private server in my data center room. I have many users that need to access the internet, so I don't join the server to my domain because if I have any malware or other attacks, I can resolve it easily without any damage to my internal network. Microsoft RDS is more user-friendly and easier to use compared to RDS from Azure Microsoft or another provider. I purchase Microsoft Remote Desktop Services directly from Microsoft. I have had an MCSE and Microsoft account for 15 years. I work with SharePoint and Exchange, which are famous applications through Microsoft and Office 365. For daily tasks, I use Microsoft tools and Linux tools because I have applications like CRM, ERP, and HRM running over CentOS, an operating system by Linux. Regarding CentOS, in Egypt, we have issues paying for things from the internet, especially due to the large margin between US dollars and Egyptian pounds. CentOS is totally free from the internet, so I create ISO and install it on the server to use all features, policies, and security modules. Currently, I use 3CX as voice solutions, and Asterisk is the Linux platform I use, along with firewalls by Linux called pfSense. All data centers in my company have products between Microsoft and Linux systems. For DNS, I use deDNS to make remote access or subdomains from deDNS organization. Sometimes, I pay for a main domain from HostGator and re-route the domain to my data centers. Based on other competitors, I would rate Zoho CRM's price as a five, as it has a middle-range price compared to others. Overall, I rate Zoho CRM a seven out of ten.
