Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is pretty easy."
"We use Amazon Lightsail for hosting security components in-house and AI modules."

"The most valuable features are the usability and customer service."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"The keyword search helps me in finding stuff quickly. So, I don't have to click around a lot."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"Scalability to configure and integrate."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports."
"The product is pretty responsive."
"To improve, I feel the disk management is too basic. I can't easily partition the disk for the operating system. I have to follow the main configuration that is already set up in the template. To partition the disk, I would need to deploy the operating system first and then make changes, but it's not an ideal method. I would recommend improving the disk management."
"When you need to add some custom rules to Amazon Lightsail, the auto scaling feature is a bit difficult."
"I don't see this solution as enterprise-ready, for bigger companies like banks."
"Currently, there is limited support available while installing or configuring it, and resources are primarily available through community-contributed articles."
"Its documentation and price should be better."
"Salesforce Platform has a cumbersome interface when creating reports, dashboards, and those types of things. They could be a little bit more simple. The administration has to be an aficionado to do any sort of administration and maintenance, for example, setting up the way you want to modify the lead tracks or functions. These systems tend to be quite cumbersome."
"Reporting could be better. Reporting is Excel-based, and it has sucked since the inception of the company. That's why I was excited about the fact of them bringing MuleSoft into the fold and Tableau."
"This platform is indeed on the expensive side."
"I don't have any notes for improvement. It serves us well."
"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."
"Areas of improvement can be around Engagement of Customers feature and approvals of transactional records."
"The reporting needs improvement and the dashboard could have more components added."
