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 has helped us customizing the system as per business user needs."
"Salesforce Platform overall helps me to track my business better."
"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 aspect of the solution is the unit coordination between sales and marketing when it comes to lead management."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"It is an easy product to use and does great things for our company. It keeps track of all of our sales activity."
"The technical support services are good."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"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

"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"I do not like the number of clicks required to get information. The UI is not very intuitive or innovative."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"The UI needs to be improved. As developers, we can manage it, but for end users it's not very attractive in the workshop."
"I would like Salesforce to recommend related opportunities within the organization that have been taken to closure, so we can fast track new opportunities based on past experiences."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"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 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."
"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

"It is an expensive program."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"The product's additional features can be expensive."
"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"The licensing is per user per month, which we took out a contract on a long time back. It's really an okay price for what solutions are available and for how many features and what kind of functionality you get."
