Enables you to boost your sales by displaying customized upsell offers to your customers when they are more likely to accept them on the add-to-cart or checkout option
I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Reliable with good reporting and custom dashboards
I don't have any huge love for it. I don't have any huge love for most of the tech solutions I use. Working in software sales could be better. The tasks, the reminders, and keeping myself on point, for example, in that sense, the forecasting could all be better. It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive. I've been using the Lightning version for the last couple of years. There were a couple of features that were lost from Salesforce Classic to Lightning, though I recognize some of the improvements. Better UI and UX would be great. They should offer more help built into the platform itself. It would be really useful if, for example, in the reporting tab, I could have a little wizard or something which says, "Hey, this is your first time visiting the reports tab. Here are details and Youtube videos," et cetera.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very flexible."
"The reporting capabilities are pretty user-friendly."
"Its stability, performance, and usability are most valuable."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"It's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity."
"The stability has been great."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is flexible."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"Areas of improvement can be around Engagement of Customers feature and approvals of transactional records."
"Sometimes it would be a little bit slow, however, it's manageable."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"Salesforce introduces a lot of products and sometimes rebrands them, causing confusion. They acquire products like W and retain their names, creating confusion in the market. This confusion isn't related to the product's functionality but rather its positioning and rebranding. For instance, what was once known as Community Cloud is now referred to as Experience Cloud. This can be confusing for business leaders."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"Salesforce's constant rebranding and name changes can be confusing for both customers and partners."
"The reporting for Salesforce could be approved. It is a manual process and it would be useful to have a guide or videos on how to generate reports or any other cool things that you could do with the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."

"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"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."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
