I see room for improvement regarding financial operations and FinOps. If they are not being controlled correctly, Salesforce billings can get huge. They charge for everything: license costs, storage costs, and transaction costs, and it can really end up blowing budgets if it is not controlled. Those controls should be something that is easy to manage. With Salesforce, it is pretty difficult to manage unless you are a very advanced user. Normal regular users may not be able to keep the costs in control. This ends up resulting in bill shocks where you suddenly receive a bill which you may not be expecting.

Salesforce could make it more user-friendly and easier to implement. Currently, there's a lot of coding and technical work required. I would appreciate a more plug-and-play approach where you could set it up without needing a dedicated technical person. Another area of improvement is customer service and support. The support we receive isn't always the best at providing solutions to problems.

The most wanted feature on such platforms nowadays is artificial intelligence, especially for marketing activities. This is also my area of expertise, so it would be very interesting to see AI in these platforms.
It takes time to learn the interface and all of the functions. For people who don't have a background in SalesForce, they will need at least one week on hand training to learn of the features. The interface should be simplified and the dashboard has a lot of options but could be improved. In the next release, I would like to see one single dashboard to allow the company that we are dealing with as a partner to have a way to be engaged with them as a top team between the two companies. Two different companies would be working at the same company with the same targets.

Salesforce Identity needs more expertise in the application.
