Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day
There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

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

"The tool is very easy to use."
"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."
"You can avoid costly React developers that are required for building advanced UI."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"They are already beginning to implement generative AI."
"The Salesforce Platform is a massive-sized solution; it's a vast digital platform that you can place all your business processes on and you can make the best use of your data and your customer data all in one place."
"The stability has been great."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"The reporting of the solution is excellent."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution has plenty of features that are useful."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
 

Cons

"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
"If you're doing some, for example, extremely responsive applications for the web, it's not as good."
"There are some bugs in VBCS."
"My honest opinion is: do not use this solution — there are plenty of free options out there that will do the trick."
"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"The tool has minor bugs."
"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design."
"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."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"It is on the expensive side, unfortunately."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier."
"Salesforce could improve by offering AI features or functionalities to help business decision-makers analyze business history, suggest forward strategies, and participate in events."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"I rate this solution a six out of ten for pricing. Though the solution is on the pricier side, it still offers good value for money."
"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."
"Salesforce does a user capacity analysis on a regular basis. For example, if you're not using certain areas, you may lose access. If you don't go in and quote and edit quotes, all of a sudden you may lose your rights to quote."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
