"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."

"HCL Domino could have a better interface."
"Designing a new template could provide a refreshed visual experience for users without significant changes to the underlying functionality."
"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."
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing."
"The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together."
"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."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"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."
