Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In Kubernetes, when traffic goes out of a pod, it has to have its own IP address. Every service that's going out requires another IP. But with OpenShift, you don't have to deal with any of those IPs because they use NAT.""The solution's support and its automation tool that ensures we are secure and appropriately configured are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift.""The most valuable features of the solution are accessibility and scalability.""I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.""It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS.""It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase."

"It is a great platform. It's definitely an improvement from the GCP application that we were using previously.""The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good.""It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers.""The entire solution is very customizable and you are able to add many functionalities.""The solution is very robust and easy to develop in.""I'm not sure what the most valuable aspect of the solution is, but I can say that their finance and auditing systems are quite impressive. You can audit in different invoices right to procurement. It's all quite seamless.""The solution provides a preferred method of backing up data.""It is an easy product to use and does great things for our company. It keeps track of all of our sales activity."

More Salesforce Platform Pros →

Cons
"There is room for improvement in terms of orchestration. While Azure orchestration offers valuable features, it's worth noting that it may not match the level of orchestration provided by Kubernetes itself.""They need to improve the core licensing model.""The product is expensive.""Automation could be improved.""Azure Red Hat OpenShift's support should be improved.""One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive."

More Azure Red Hat OpenShift Cons →

"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great.""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.""We have a lot of strategic accounts and large accounts that are tied with all the growth and acquisitions across North America, being able to tag parent-child accounts in an easier fashion would be better. This is the biggest pain point is associating parent to child and being able to align and manage it better. Overall a better parent-child relationship between accounts would be a benefit.""Salesforce introduces a lot of products and sometimes rebrands them, causing confusion. They acquire products like W and retain their names, creating confusion in the market. This confusion isn't related to the product's functionality but rather its positioning and rebranding. For instance, what was once known as Community Cloud is now referred to as Experience Cloud. This can be confusing for business leaders.""I don't have any notes for improvement. It serves us well.""The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn.""The solution's UI is horrible.""They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."

  • "Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
  • "It is an expensive program."
