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.

Have faced challenges continuing use due to support discontinuation despite past effectiveness
There was no reporting functionality in the version we used. It all had to be done by another BI or reporting platform, so we used to actually migrate data from SAP Mobile Platform to that platform. Inherently, that product at that time had no reporting capabilities. It had to be done through some other platform. The only issue arose when SAP actually marked it as end-of-support. Otherwise, as a platform, it was fantastic. I don't think there was any major concern we had with the product itself. But when you mark any platform as end-of-support and we, being the OEM partners, it definitely created significant challenges for us.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Compared to other CRM applications, Salesforce is very good and you can set it up in the cloud."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"The product has definitely helped us improve our support services."
"Salesforce as a platform gives a lot of freedom to have a customized view."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"There is very good documentation available and Salesforce offers good communication with its clients. It's very user-friendly and has a system that is easy to learn."
"Salesforce has helped us customizing the system as per business user needs."
"Salesforce provides customization that aligns with our organization's lifecycle management of opportunities. It integrates with our call records, meeting notes, and the Outlook calendar, which helps in mapping roles and managing opportunities effectively."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Ericsson is still working in Pakistan, running one of the biggest mobile wallet platforms in the country, and if SAP hadn't marked it as end-of-life, we could have penetrated this market for at least two to three more customers."
"The platform independence is great; I can use it across mobile devices, it's stable, and technical support is helpful."
"It's a wonderful solution from a design perspective and from a scalability perspective."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"SAP's Mobile Platform has a lot of technical features, however, the way they have written the transaction processing is really smart and we're using it very successfully in terms of scalability and in terms of stability."
"If we work with the mobile extension of the ERP platform, we save time."
"Two of the very fascinating features that make SAP Mobile Platform stand out from other platforms are its offline capability and integration capability."
 

Cons

"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
"The reporting for Salesforce could be approved. It is a manual process and it would be useful to have a guide or videos on how to generate reports or any other cool things that you could do with the platform."
"Salesforce could improve by adding more capabilities to the dashboard, such as additional fields for more filters and more control over what I would like to see."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"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."
"Sometimes what will happen is we work on it and then we move to a different tab and work on something else. After five minutes, when we come back, it automatically signs out."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"The only issue arose when SAP actually marked it as end-of-support. Otherwise, as a platform, it was fantastic."
"The only thing which basically is bothering us now is that SAP has announced that they'll be ending the support on the SAP platform."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"We don't have wider reporting capabilities within mobile services. There is some reporting functionality, which I would classify as very basic, just to indicate how many devices are being connected, but it's not that comprehensive in terms of reporting."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"Installation is extremely painful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."

"The product's additional features can be expensive."
"It is an expensive program."
"It is expensive."
"If you already paying for an SAP license and have SAP products that you are using, the price for SAP Mobile Platform is negligible."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight or nine out of ten."
"The cost of SAP is extremely high, and it's not affordable for everyone."
