Makes it easy to build cross-platform with cloud-based, one-click app build system

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

"One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X)."
"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."
"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"Salesforce Platform is effective as it provides frameworks and pre-built components."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"Salesforce's strongest feature is reporting especially. It's also a lot more usable than other platforms I've worked with. It has a great user experience, with the ability to filter and access information in real-time."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"The product is pretty responsive."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"I like using the reports feature, but also the fact that we are able to have a smooth process when it comes to leads and opportunities."
"Its stability, performance, and usability are most valuable."
 

Cons

"Titanium Studio, provided for development on titanium, happens to ignore changes while building and at times it stops printing console messages, so that every time you have to test your code, you have to clean your project."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
"Salesforce could improve by offering AI features or functionalities to help business decision-makers analyze business history, suggest forward strategies, and participate in events."
"Salesforce Platform operates as a cloud system, and within our organization, numerous internal systems handle data processing. While real-time data retrieval is feasible through services, achieving real-time communication poses some challenges."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"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."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"It's all set up for us in a way that establishes our account. We need to tag ourselves to opportunities. You have to tag yourself to the opportunity manually; you need to find it yourself and tag it."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"The product's additional features can be expensive."
"Salesforce does a user capacity analysis on a regular basis. For example, if you're not using certain areas, you may lose access. If you don't go in and quote and edit quotes, all of a sudden you may lose your rights to quote."
"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."
"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 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."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"Salesforce is cheap."
