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.

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

"The solution is used to track our customers."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"Salesforce's strongest feature is reporting especially; it's also a lot more usable than other platforms I've worked with, and it has a great user experience with the ability to filter and access information in real-time."
"It was a great add-on to our digital landscape."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"The biggest benefit is seamless usage in terms of an easy-to-use interface and GUI that makes it easy to interact with the entire platform and generate reports effortlessly."
"The most valuable features of the Salesforce Platform are the ability to manage customers' data, many report filtering options, and consolidation."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"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."
"Ericsson is still working in Pakistan, running one of the biggest mobile wallet platforms in the country, and if SAP hadn't marked it as end-of-life, we could have penetrated this market for at least two to three more customers."
"SAP's Mobile Platform has a lot of technical features, however, the way they have written the transaction processing is really smart and we're using it very successfully in terms of scalability and in terms of stability."
"The initial setup is not overly complex."
"Solid development platform that allows you to automate functions from different backend systems."
"It's a wonderful solution from a design perspective and from a scalability perspective."
"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."
"The platform independence is great; I can use it across mobile devices, it's stable, and technical support is helpful."
 

Cons

"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."
"The customer service team at Salesforce get the job done but they are not fast. The technical support could be improved."
"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."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"Salesforce Platform could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Azure. For development, we use Microsoft Azure and there was proper integration between the two solutions. We had issues with the customer and they were logged into the Salesforce Platform. We did not have any good way of integrating those issues into the R&D. The R&D mainly uses Microsoft Azure."
"The licensing is on an annual basis. It is expensive."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"Salesforce Platform may be on the expensive side. However, getting value for money depends on how it's used."
"The cost of the SAP Mobile Platform is high, and there is room for improvement in its pricing."
"The toolkit to develop front end applications, especially native applications, is not that good."
"Installation is extremely painful."
"The only issue arose when SAP actually marked it as end-of-support. Otherwise, as a platform, it was fantastic."
"If I have to go for hybrid development, it is still too complex of development, per se."
"One drawback is that SAP Mobile Platform apps are only available through the browser, making offline capability more challenging to implement."
"If it was low code or no code it would be ideal."
"The licensing model is a bit dated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"In general, the price is an area where there is always room for improvement."
"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 product's additional features can be expensive."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"It is an expensive program."
"Salesforce charges double the rates, or almost three times, compared to its competitors. Our company does incur additional charges for maintenance and support."
"The cost of SAP is extremely high, and it's not affordable for everyone."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool's price as an eight or nine out of ten."
"If you already paying for an SAP license and have SAP products that you are using, the price for SAP Mobile Platform is negligible."
