Enables you to boost your sales by displaying customized upsell offers to your customers when they are more likely to accept them on the add-to-cart or checkout option
I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"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 activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"The low-code approach to Salesforce Platform is highly valuable."
"Scalability to configure and integrate, as Salesforce is easily configurable and, with the ability to build APIs, almost anything can be integrated, thus allowing more capability, more data, and more value to the system."
"It works beautifully. I haven't had any errors."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
"Marketing and Sales Lead, Forecasting, Campaign management."
"The solution can scale."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"I would like to see an improvement in the price - it could be cheaper."
"The UI needs to be improved. As developers, we can manage it, but for end users it's not very attractive in the workshop."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
"I feel like some things are overly complicated for no reason, as there are much simpler ways to achieve the same goal."
"Sometimes it would be a little bit slow, however, it's manageable."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
"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 could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields. It could be a bit more light if the field guys want to use it on a mobile phone on the road. For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"It is expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
"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."
"The licensing is on the expensive side, but most clients engage in negotiations to reach a more favorable agreement. For stand-alone or medium-sized clients, it can be relatively costly."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
