Has customization and integration capabilities which increase efficiency
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 previous version had a complicated interface where multiple pages and data entries were required, which was not pleasant for sales teams or business users. Also, deploying Salesforce took a long time, about four to five months, which is not ideal for any business.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Salesforce is cloud-based, so there's no installation involved. You simply log in using the provided organization login. There's no need for installation."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"The product is pretty responsive."
"A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience."
"Salesforce provides customization that aligns with our organization's lifecycle management of opportunities. It integrates with our call records, meeting notes, and the Outlook calendar, which helps in mapping roles and managing opportunities effectively."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the unit coordination between sales and marketing when it comes to lead management."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"I would like Salesforce to recommend related opportunities within the organization that have been taken to closure, so we can fast track new opportunities based on past experiences."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together."
"The previous version had a complicated interface where multiple pages and data entries were required, which was not pleasant for sales teams or business users."
"The marketing automation needs improvement."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
"I would like to have integration with Google."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

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."
"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 expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
"The cost is reasonable for the corporations I work for. I would say an average would be around $100 per month per user."
"Salesforce is cheap."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
