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.

Integration processes improve but scripting requires effort
The updates, pricing part, and upgrades to the products are some of the most valuable features with the Salesforce Platform.With the Salesforce Platform, I have minimal experience of approximately one and a half years. I get minimal exposure, once every three or two months, especially during holidays. The Salesforce Platform is connected to the cloud, which is beneficial. When it is integrated with different tools such as Microsoft BI Analytics, it helps us analyze much better. Currently, the integration itself is tricky as we have to use extensive scripting. It should be more of a plug-in and use solution. That is the only issue I see, but otherwise, I appreciate it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"There are no major performance issues in the solution."
"The stability has been great."
"Using this solution makes our company more agile and efficient, and prevents information silos."
"There is very good documentation available and Salesforce offers good communication with its clients. It's very user-friendly and has a system that is easy to learn."
"The technical support is very good and they respond very fast."
"Overall, it's been a good solution and we've been happy with it."
"It's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity."
"It is a great platform."
 

Cons

"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"Customer service could be improved."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"One area that could use improvement is the approval mechanism in the authenticator, which is unstable."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
"The reporting for Salesforce could be approved. It is a manual process and it would be useful to have a guide or videos on how to generate reports or any other cool things that you could do with the platform."
"The marketing automation needs improvement, as it should be easier to use."
"The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together."
"Technical support could be a bit faster."
"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."

"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
