Featured Reviews

Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Consultant at SA&BC
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.
Sunny Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
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

"It is pretty easy to use."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"With Oracle Java Cloud Service, in a few clicks, you can set up an entire WebLogic server in the AWS cloud services and the storage cloud services."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"Fast, rapid and agile development and deployment of an ADF application (within Proof-of-Concept project) involves four developers in a distributed team (across two different time-zones) and through this they are able to cooperate quickly, without the usual problems of dev/test environment deployments."
"The solution provides a preferred method of backing up data."
"The technical support is very good and they respond very fast."
"The reporting capabilities are pretty user-friendly."
"A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience."
"The solution is highly scalable, as a company can easily scale if they need to and it effectively expands to meet your needs."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"What I really like about Salesforce is that it's very intuitive, and it's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity and develop custom reports for management."
"Overall, it's been a good solution and we've been happy with it."
 

Cons

"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"Customer service could be improved."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
"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."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
"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."
"They have some limitations as a cloud solution."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"When you compare with Appian, they have to improve more on configuration and more systematic care, configuring by itself and if they are making other things in the area that they update."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat 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."
"The licensing is on the expensive side, but most clients engage in negotiations to reach a more favorable agreement. For stand-alone or medium-sized clients, it can be relatively costly."
"Salesforce charges double the rates, or almost three times, compared to its competitors. Our company does incur additional charges for maintenance and support."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"It is expensive."
"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
