"When compared with Microsoft Power Automate, it is a bit more mature, and we're able to build things pretty rapidly."

"The solution is easy to use and map."
"I like the galleries, which are really powerful."
"Microsoft PowerApps allows you to simplify business processes and user experience. You can also create responsive applications and canvas apps through this solution. It's an easy to scale, stable, and low-code solution."
"It allows us to provide all the information in one single place."
"It is easy to use."
"The UI functionality is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The product is pretty responsive."
"I like using the reports feature, but also the fact that we are able to have a smooth process when it comes to leads and opportunities."
"The process and the workflows are amazing."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is flexible."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"It was pretty easy to deploy."
"It's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity."
"Salesforce's strongest feature is reporting especially. It's also a lot more usable than other platforms I've worked with. It has a great user experience, with the ability to filter and access information in real-time."
"The editor in the Web browser could be improved because it can be difficult to implement the commands in the buttons."
"The product could be improved by making it a production application and enabling the export of apps."
"The connectors are the main components that reference the data sources, and these need to be improved."
"PowerApps can't do a lot of things that users need now. For example, it can't handle signatures."
"We use GoCanvas to make forms. It's easier to make forms in GoCanvas, but Power Apps is cheaper because it is bundled with our Office 365 license. if I want to create a form in Power Apps, I need some knowledge, but GoCanvas is intuitive."
"The stability of this solution could be better."
"You can't add too many filters onto anything you build, otherwise, it will be very slow and it will affect your performance."
"The price could be lower."
"It may be slow, but that is relative. When compared to Siebel CRM, which was large, clunky, and extremely slow, Salesforce seemed fast to me."
"Salesforce is a pretty cumbersome product. It's a product that you need to spend quite a bit of time customizing to your unique business model. Unless you have somebody in house that knows it really well, you're better off spending money with a consultant to get what you need."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"They need an easy way of getting details and then adding to it and then being able to do it in a more simplified way"
"It does need very specific resources to help deploy it and buy in from the users. It's one of those items it's pretty disruptive and if it's not deployed properly and if it doesn't get utilized efficiently, it won't be effective."
"If you have resellers or distributors, you just need to figure out a way to set up the system in the backend. Since every company is different, it takes a little bit of time to figure that out."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement."
