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.

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

"Salesforce has helped us customizing the system as per business user needs."
"The updates, pricing part, and upgrades to the products are some of the most valuable features with the Salesforce Platform."
"Salesforce Platform has helped streamline our sales operations, which has essentially increased the effectiveness of our sales operations."
"The entire solution is very customizable and you are able to add many functionalities."
"The stability has been great."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"We've done a solid job managing past account history, enabling us to quickly review past activities and the contacts we've engaged with. Now, Salesforce has integrated a LinkedIn feature, streamlining the process by eliminating the need to manually input data into LinkedIn separately. This integration adds LinkedIn profiles to customer profiles, enhancing efficiency. They've also introduced a sales console platform."
"You can put your clients' names in there along with their contacts and the opportunity for sales with them."
"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 have found it takes an exceedingly long time to put opportunities or clients in the system."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"I think that Salesforce can improve lead management when it comes to B2C. I would like to have more features specifically related to the B2C segment. The current process where you create a lead that's in the B2C segment and it creates an account makes no sense."
"I want more analytics in the platform and the addition of AI-based models, for example, predictive feedback. The Salesforce Platform needs to be more intelligent and intuitive to make it a great solution."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"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."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
"This solution is difficult to scale. We found it challenging to ensure that many more users could use the system without any trouble."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know anything about its cost, but I'm sure it has got a nice little price tag that goes along with it."
"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
"The price of Salesforce Platform is very expensive. There are other solutions that are similar that cost a quarter of what Salesforce Platform does, such as HubSpot."
"The licensing is on the expensive side, but most clients engage in negotiations to reach a more favorable agreement. For stand-alone or medium-sized clients, it can be relatively costly."
"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"Salesforce is cheap."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
