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.

Have faced challenges continuing use due to support discontinuation despite past effectiveness
There was no reporting functionality in the version we used. It all had to be done by another BI or reporting platform, so we used to actually migrate data from SAP Mobile Platform to that platform. Inherently, that product at that time had no reporting capabilities. It had to be done through some other platform. The only issue arose when SAP actually marked it as end-of-support. Otherwise, as a platform, it was fantastic. I don't think there was any major concern we had with the product itself. But when you mark any platform as end-of-support and we, being the OEM partners, it definitely created significant challenges for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"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 solution is scalable and it is one of its best features."
"Salesforce Platform is effective as it provides frameworks and pre-built components."
"The solution is highly scalable, as a company can easily scale if they need to and it effectively expands to meet your needs."
"The lead conversion process in Salesforce Sales Cloud is extremely valuable."
"The queue management of the solution is its most valuable aspect."
"It's a wonderful solution from a design perspective and from a scalability perspective."
"The platform independence is great; I can use it across mobile devices, it's stable, and technical support is helpful."
"Both platforms, the SAP Mobile Platform, and SAP, are highly valuable for our company because they facilitate integration, which can be expensive. It's very convenient to connect and create billing accounts through the SAP Mobile Platform."
"With mobile services, they just carry the mobile phone with them, do it straight on the device, and it updates the SAP system, saving quite a lot of time for the end users."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It's not that difficult to set up."
"If we work with the mobile extension of the ERP platform, we save time."
"Solid development platform that allows you to automate functions from different backend systems."
 

Cons

"The solution is a bit expensive."
"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."
"Technical support could be a bit faster."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
"Identification management systems integration should be easier."
"The solution is very expensive compared to CRM solutions."
"The reporting needs improvement and the dashboard could have more components added."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
"We don't have wider reporting capabilities within mobile services. There is some reporting functionality, which I would classify as very basic, just to indicate how many devices are being connected, but it's not that comprehensive in terms of reporting."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"The tool is not easy or simple to integrate with other infrastructures."
"The only issue arose when SAP actually marked it as end-of-support. Otherwise, as a platform, it was fantastic."
"Installation is extremely painful."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"The only thing which basically is bothering us now is that SAP has announced that they'll be ending the support on the SAP platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Salesforce does a user capacity analysis on a regular basis. For example, if you're not using certain areas, you may lose access. If you don't go in and quote and edit quotes, all of a sudden you may lose your rights to quote."
"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
"Salesforce charges double the rates, or almost three times, compared to its competitors. Our company does incur additional charges for maintenance and support."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"In general, the price is an area where there is always room for improvement."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
"If you already paying for an SAP license and have SAP products that you are using, the price for SAP Mobile Platform is negligible."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight or nine out of ten."
"The cost of SAP is extremely high, and it's not affordable for everyone."
