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

"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."
"The tool is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."
"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."
"Salesforce Platform is effective as it provides frameworks and pre-built components."
"he solution has improved over the years and the inputting of opportunity information is done a lot better and the GUI is good. The ability to customize dashboards and other elements was useful, we were able to move things around, for example, the forecasts. Most of the cells and input places were set, but we can customize the view and what we were looking at, such as on a daily, or weekly basis."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"The updates, pricing part, and upgrades to the products are some of the most valuable features with the Salesforce Platform."
"I would recommend this solution; I am using it, and I am happy with it, and I don't see any major issues because it is a great platform."
"Salesforce encourages independent app development and what this simply does is, it extends the Salesforce functionality."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
 

Cons

"There are some bugs in VBCS."
"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."
"The tool has minor bugs."
"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."
"My honest opinion is: do not use this solution — there are plenty of free options out there that will do the trick."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"One area that could use improvement is the approval mechanism in the authenticator, which is unstable."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"Reporting tools are not great and you usually have to use a 3rd party reporting tool for any complex report or reports which also need to source data from outside your CRM (which many of ours do), and to get any historical data analysis (e.g. need data warehouse)."
"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."
"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 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."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"It is expensive."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is reasonable for the corporations I work for. I would say an average would be around $100 per month per user."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"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."
