Yasser_Anter - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It's very flexible."
"I like the reports and the dashboards. Since I'm a managing partner, I use the reports and dashboards to understand my team's contact management, opportunity management, and account management activities. We use Pardot for marketing campaigns."
"The queue management of the solution is its most valuable aspect."
"Scalability to configure and integrate."
"The keyword search helps me in finding stuff quickly. So, I don't have to click around a lot."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"They are already beginning to implement generative AI."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The cost of data storage is an issue once the company grows."
"Although the platform is already set up for you, there's a lot of customization that needs to be done, especially for any new component we start using. For whatever solution we wanted, we had to think for ourselves and design it all on our own. And, unfortunately, there were some components that were not really mature in the beginning, like Tableau for example."
"Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more."
"The product's pricing model could be improved, as some features are only available in paid modules, which can be costly."
"The reporting needs improvement and the dashboard could have more components added."
"Technical support could be a bit faster."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"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."
