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

"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Salesforce encourages independent app development and what this simply does is, it extends the Salesforce functionality."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports."
"It is a fairly useful and user-friendly tool for salespersons. It is very extensive and flexible. You can customize it for your needs, and you can use whatever you want. I like Salesforce."
"The technical support is very good and they respond very fast."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the unit coordination between sales and marketing when it comes to lead management."
"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

"The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together."
"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."
"I would like to have integration with Google."
"Salesforce could improve by offering AI features or functionalities to help business decision-makers analyze business history, suggest forward strategies, and participate in events."
"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."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"Sometimes it would be a little bit slow, however, it's manageable."
"The customer service team at Salesforce get the job done but they are not fast. The technical support could be improved."
"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

"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 cost of this solution depends on negotiations. It is somewhere between expensive and reasonable. There is always additional costs for consulting services. It's the kind of solution that requires consulting, but it is not a licensing cost. It is a consulting cost. It is CAPEX versus OPEX."
