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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It works beautifully. I haven't had any errors."
"The support is very good."
"We like that the technology is very agile and flexible in the sense that there's a large partner ecosystem within Salesforce Platform. This enables us to choose from many different partners with different advantages, and all of it can be done in a plug-and-play kind of way."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"The solution has plenty of features that are useful."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together."
"Salesforce's constant rebranding and name changes can be confusing for both customers and partners."
"Its documentation and price should be better."
"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."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"The product's pricing model could be improved, as some features are only available in paid modules, which can be costly."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
"It is expensive."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"The cost is reasonable for the corporations I work for. I would say an average would be around $100 per month per user."
"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."
