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.

Low-code platform needs knowledge of coding and best practices to make it work best.
This is not a stable solution. When work has been done on screen A, for example, this has lead to a downfall in screen B. This has occurred even when there appears to be connection between the two. This is mostly happening because developers are not using of are not aware of best practices within platforms. It's like Excel. I can make a lot in Excel, but if my calculations are wrong, it's me that is in the fault, not Excel.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Salesforce offers control over the opportunities to see where we are and gives me high-level dashboards on each opportunity stage."
"Scalability to configure and integrate."
"It is a great platform."
"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."
"It is a fairly useful and user-friendly tool for salespersons. It is very extensive and flexible. You can customize it for your needs, and you can use whatever you want. I like Salesforce."
"The updates, pricing part, and upgrades to the products are some of the most valuable features with the Salesforce Platform."
"Salesforce is a phenomenal application. It's very diverse."
"Salesforce as a platform gives a lot of freedom to have a customized view."
"We use this solution as a customer portal for teachers so they can plan exams for their students. Exams will also be created in the portal in future."
 

Cons

"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."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"The marketing automation needs improvement, as it should be easier to use."
"They have some limitations as a cloud solution."
"It is quite expensive. It has gotten to that point where it is a lot more pricey. It has kind of got its own proprietary language for development. It is probably never going to change, but if it had a more market language for development, it would be easier to find developers. They come at a premium cost, so it is expensive."
"Salesforce at that point doesn't make a whole lot of sense for many Microsoft users."
"It is on the expensive side, unfortunately."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"This solution could be more user-friendly and involve less code. It requires a lot of SQL knowledge and programming. It is not a drag and drop solution."
"This solution is difficult to scale. We found it challenging to ensure that many more users could use the system without any trouble."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"The cost is reasonable for the corporations I work for. I would say an average would be around $100 per month per user."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"It is expensive."
"Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
"The product's additional features can be expensive."
