Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time.""The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components.""The initial setup is easy."

More Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service Pros →

"It is a great platform. It's definitely an improvement from the GCP application that we were using previously.""We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns.""We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information.""Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away.""The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable.""It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers.""I like the reports and the dashboards. Since I'm a managing partner, I use the reports and dashboards to understand my team's contact management, opportunity management, and account management activities. We use Pardot for marketing campaigns.""he solution has improved over the years and the inputting of opportunity information is done a lot better and the GUI is good. The ability to customize dashboards and other elements was useful, we were able to move things around, for example, the forecasts. Most of the cells and input places were set, but we can customize the view and what we were looking at, such as on a daily, or weekly basis."

Cons
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement.""There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad.""I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

More Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service Cons →

"It is quite expensive. It has gotten to that point where it is a lot more pricey. It has kind of got its own proprietary language for development. It is probably never going to change, but if it had a more market language for development, it would be easier to find developers. They come at a premium cost, so it is expensive.""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 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.""When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing.""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.""The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn.""An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration.""Some business functionalities could be improved."
