"It's very easy to build an app using this solution."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"What functions we don't get out of Salesforce, we typically receive from third-party applications that extend the capabilities. We integrate a lot of different products with Salesforce."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"What we like the most about it is the fact that it helps us track the record of our projects. It keeps everything on one interface, facilitating the operations and planning."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"Marketing and Sales Lead, Forecasting, Campaign management."
"This tool doesn't have an internal database. It only relies on the data layer of Microsoft Cloud."
"The fact that we couldn't share that with our other organization or outside of the organization, consisting of our colleagues in the joint ventures, was a weakness of the solution."
"Most of my training for what I do has been by watching or learning in the community. There needs to be better training on either one of these."
"It's easy to use."
"PowerApps can't do a lot of things that users need now. For example, it can't handle signatures."
"I have always felt that you need an IT background to use this solution."
"I would like to see more improvement, for example, in direct collaboration."
"One of the major problems with it is what PowerApps calls the delegation warning. Regardless of what platform, data source, et cetera, that you're using, you can't retrieve more than 2000 records."
"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."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"Its documentation and price should be better."
"Sometimes what will happen is we work on it and then we move to a different tab and work on something else. After five minutes, when we come back, it automatically signs out."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"The marketing automation needs improvement."
