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

"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."
"It is very user-friendly, and intuitive, it will lead you and take you to the next steps."
"Intuitive to work with and the overall fundamental of the platform is very strong."
"The updates, pricing part, and upgrades to the products are some of the most valuable features with the Salesforce Platform."
"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."
"We used it for providing a 360 view of the customers from within Salesforce. So, a lot of data got presented there, for which we used Einstein Analytics. The Einstein Analytics dashboards were really great."
"The solution is used to track our customers."
"Salesforce Platform is effective as it provides frameworks and pre-built components."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
 

Cons

"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."
"The reporting for Salesforce could be approved. It is a manual process and it would be useful to have a guide or videos on how to generate reports or any other cool things that you could do with the platform."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"The solution's UI is horrible."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"Its documentation and price should be better."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
"One area that could use improvement is the approval mechanism in the authenticator, which is unstable."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The product's additional features can be expensive."
"It is expensive."
"The licensing is per user per month, which we took out a contract on a long time back. It's really an okay price for what solutions are available and for how many features and what kind of functionality you get."
"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."
"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"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."
