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

"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."
"One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X)."
"I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform."
"It is easy to create builds and distribution is very easy."
"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."
"There is very good documentation available and Salesforce offers good communication with its clients. It's very user-friendly and has a system that is easy to learn."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"Salesforce encourages independent app development and what this simply does is, it extends the Salesforce functionality."
"The value of this product to us is the seamless experience and having a fully integrated solution with all the market solutions."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"Salesforce's strongest feature is reporting especially; it's also a lot more usable than other platforms I've worked with, and it has a great user experience with the ability to filter and access information in real-time."
"The customization is good, you can set it up and do whatever you wanted with it."
"Salesforce Platform overall helps me to track my business better."
 

Cons

"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
"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."
"It has hung many times during login and use. Also, it needs a little enhancing for debugging for Android apps."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more."
"Customer Service: A three out of 10. Technical Support: A two out of 10."
"This platform is indeed on the expensive side."
"In terms of features, for our business needs, we have more than enough right now. There is nothing that we are missing or would like to add. They can maybe share some best practices so that when you are starting, you can stick to a good process, and you don't have to think so much about the process that you want or your CEO or CMO wants. The process should not be based on one person in the company. Having some best practices will make it easier to get started. These best practices can be based on what has worked for others. Its basic version is pretty simple, and the customizations are up to the companies, which can make startups like ours lose a lot of time in figuring out what all stakeholders want rather than what would work."
"I have found it takes an exceedingly long time to put opportunities or clients in the system. If I have an opportunity that I need to put in the system it could take approximately 10 minutes. This is a lot of time when you have multiple opportunities to put in. There are other tasks to do that are required by supervisors, such as forecasts. What I have done to save time is I did not input as much detail as I could have because I knew it was going to take me an hour to get five leads in."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It is expensive."
"The product's additional features can be expensive."
"It is expensive."
"The cost is reasonable for the corporations I work for. I would say an average would be around $100 per month per user."
"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
