Sunny Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
Automated weekly analytics have improved case tracking and boosted research productivity
In terms of customization and requesting features that need to be enabled, the process is longer than ideal. As a user, I have very limited access rights to Salesforce Platform, which limits my capability. If a user were granted access to consume more features from Salesforce Platform and the system could show exactly who needs to grant that particular access, that would be a very good improvement. If I need to gain access to a specific feature within Salesforce Platform, it should point me to who in my organization manages it. If the system is able to tell me who exactly is managing it, I can get in touch with that particular user to understand whether I can gain access. This particular feature seems to be lacking, not only in Salesforce Platform, but in any CRM application.

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

"The queue management of the solution is its most valuable aspect."
"I like it because of the fact that it lets me know what I'm working on and what I've recently worked on. It also helps me and allows me to do tracking. If I want to go out and find out how many times I've touched customers, I can find that information out. It tracks such information, and we use it. If we send any type of promotions out, it tracks who gets those promotions and how they've responded to those promotions."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"The most valuable features of the Salesforce Platform are the ability to manage customers' data, many report filtering options, and consolidation."
"The low-code approach to Salesforce Platform is highly valuable."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"Automation of process steps have saved us millions of dollars by removing manual steps and activities."
"The technical support is very good and they respond very fast."
"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

"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement."
"The customer service team at Salesforce get the job done but they are not fast. The technical support 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"
"I have found it takes an exceedingly long time to put opportunities or clients in the system."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"Sometimes it would be a little bit slow, however, it's manageable."
"I would like to see the organizational details improved to make it less difficult to bring new clients on board."
"This solution is difficult to scale. We found it challenging to ensure that many more users could use the system without any trouble."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"The cost of this solution depends on negotiations. It is somewhere between expensive and reasonable. There is always additional costs for consulting services. It's the kind of solution that requires consulting, but it is not a licensing cost. It is a consulting cost. It is CAPEX versus OPEX."
"It is expensive."
"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 varies depending on the cloud."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"It is expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
