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.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A great platform to import, manage and save customer data."
"The low-code approach to Salesforce Platform is highly valuable."
"The solution is used to track our customers."
"The lead conversion process in Salesforce Sales Cloud is extremely valuable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I find Salesforce Platform to be stable."
"The stability has been great."
"Salesforce has helped us customizing the system as per business user needs."
"As a strategic solution, it's really good because it will avoid a lot of cost if you are building your data center, for example, or from scratch."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
"Jelastic is exactly what we expect from a PaaS vendor: easy-to-start, easy-to-manage, container based technology, support for vertical and horizontal auto-scaling, and all this without vendor lock-in."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
"If you are looking for a great PaaS product, don't hesitate to check Jelastic!"
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
 

Cons

"Personally, I do not see that much value in Salesforce."
"Technical support could be a bit faster."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing, and we ended up getting an ELA, so enterprise licensing agreement."
"The reporting needs improvement and the dashboard could have more components added."
"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"
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"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 backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Salesforce is cheap."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
"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."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
"I don't know anything about its cost, but I'm sure it has got a nice little price tag that goes along with it."
"In general, the price is an area where there is always room for improvement."
"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
