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.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I really like about Salesforce is that it's very intuitive, and it's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity and develop custom reports for management."
"Salesforce Platform overall helps me to track my business better."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate Salesforce Platform's technical support a ten out of ten."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
"We have hundreds of users all across our company, it is being used extensively in our organization, and that's how we run our sales here."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"What we like the most about it is the fact that it helps us track the record of our projects. It keeps everything on one interface, facilitating the operations and planning."
"I like it because of the fact that it lets me know what I'm working on and what I've recently worked on. It also helps me and allows me to do tracking. If I want to go out and find out how many times I've touched customers, I can find that information out. It tracks such information, and we use it. If we send any type of promotions out, it tracks who gets those promotions and how they've responded to those promotions."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"Jelastic is exactly what we expect from a PaaS vendor: easy-to-start, easy-to-manage, container based technology, support for vertical and horizontal auto-scaling, and all this without vendor lock-in."
"As a strategic solution, it's really good because it will avoid a lot of cost if you are building your data center, for example, or from scratch."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
"If you are looking for a great PaaS product, don't hesitate to check Jelastic!"
"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
 

Cons

"Salesforce Platform has a cumbersome interface when creating reports, dashboards, and those types of things."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"The solution is very expensive compared to CRM solutions."
"Salesforce could improve by offering AI features or functionalities to help business decision-makers analyze business history, suggest forward strategies, and participate in events."
"When it switched to lightning, it threw me for a loop. When they changed the look and feel, I had a hard time finding things and doing what I used to do."
"It is quite expensive. It has gotten to that point where it is a lot more pricey. It has kind of got its own proprietary language for development. It is probably never going to change, but if it had a more market language for development, it would be easier to find developers. They come at a premium cost, so it is expensive."
"It may be slow, but that is relative."
"Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
"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 expensive."
"Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
