Automated weekly analytics have improved case tracking and boosted research productivity
In terms of customization and requesting features that need to be enabled, the process is longer than ideal. As a user, I have very limited access rights to Salesforce Platform, which limits my capability. If a user were granted access to consume more features from Salesforce Platform and the system could show exactly who needs to grant that particular access, that would be a very good improvement. If I need to gain access to a specific feature within Salesforce Platform, it should point me to who in my organization manages it. If the system is able to tell me who exactly is managing it, I can get in touch with that particular user to understand whether I can gain access. This particular feature seems to be lacking, not only in Salesforce Platform, but in any CRM application.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"The process and the workflows are amazing."
"It is very modular in approach. It is very light, and it can be used on various devices. It could be used on an Android phone or a laptop, which makes it good for the sales team on the road."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I would recommend this solution; I am using it, and I am happy with it, and I don't see any major issues because it is a great platform."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"The updates, pricing part, and upgrades to the products are some of the most valuable features with the Salesforce Platform."
"The solution is scalable and it is one of its best features."
 

Cons

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"More tutorials and examples."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"It may be slow, but that is relative."
"The management of Salesforce could be quite a task. Old and unusable contacts can add up over time. If I could wave a magic wand, it would be to initiate a self-cleaning feature."
"They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."
"When it switched to lightning, it threw me for a loop. When they changed the look and feel, I had a hard time finding things and doing what I used to do."
"The reporting needs improvement and the dashboard could have more components added."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
"I would like Salesforce to recommend related opportunities within the organization that have been taken to closure, so we can fast track new opportunities based on past experiences."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too 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."
