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.

Low-code platform needs knowledge of coding and best practices to make it work best.
This is not a stable solution. When work has been done on screen A, for example, this has lead to a downfall in screen B. This has occurred even when there appears to be connection between the two. This is mostly happening because developers are not using of are not aware of best practices within platforms. It's like Excel. I can make a lot in Excel, but if my calculations are wrong, it's me that is in the fault, not Excel.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Any issues it may have for example with integration are all minor when you compare it with the performance, scalability, and ease of use."
"Salesforce is a phenomenal application. It's very diverse."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"The customization is good, you can set it up and do whatever you wanted with it."
"The Salesforce Platform has not gone down in the time we have used it, it is very stable."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"I'm not sure what the most valuable aspect of the solution is, but I can say that their finance and auditing systems are quite impressive. You can audit in different invoices right to procurement. It's all quite seamless."
"A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience."
"We use this solution as a customer portal for teachers so they can plan exams for their students. Exams will also be created in the portal in future."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the organizational details improved to make it less difficult to bring new clients on board."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"In Salesforce, every customer is unique and it's not possible to bundle them together effectively if they are from the same company or move companies, et cetera."
"Integration with a few of the other products such as Spring Boot is a problem."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"Currently, the integration itself is tricky as we have to use extensive scripting. It should be more of a plug-in and use solution."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
"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."
"This solution could be more user-friendly and involve less code. It requires a lot of SQL knowledge and programming. It is not a drag and drop solution."
"This solution is difficult to scale. We found it challenging to ensure that many more users could use the system without any trouble."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"The cost is reasonable for the corporations I work for. I would say an average would be around $100 per month per user."
"It is an expensive program."
"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"It is expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
