Good, but steep "Getting started"
Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs. This makes for a more complicated installation process that is not always straightforward. Like PhoneGap, apps are obviously running within the browser control. Because of this, there is some loss in native experience and fidelity.
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

"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"A great platform to import, manage and save customer data."
"It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"Salesforce provides customization that aligns with our organization's lifecycle management of opportunities. It integrates with our call records, meeting notes, and the Outlook calendar, which helps in mapping roles and managing opportunities effectively."
"Most of the apps allow you to try out the product before buying it. The trial period depends on the product and varies from a week to 30 days."
"I like it because of the fact that it lets me know what I'm working on and what I've recently worked on. It also helps me and allows me to do tracking. If I want to go out and find out how many times I've touched customers, I can find that information out. It tracks such information, and we use it. If we send any type of promotions out, it tracks who gets those promotions and how they've responded to those promotions."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
 

Cons

"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"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"
"Getting reports in Salesforce is sometimes a little bit difficult. You need to do a lot of things to get detailed reports. This feature can be improved. Its price can also be improved. It is currently expensive."
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"I think the search needs to be improved so as to allow for a broader keyword search."
"In Salesforce, every customer is unique and it's not possible to bundle them together effectively if they are from the same company or move companies, et cetera."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
"They have some limitations as a cloud solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing is on the expensive side, but most clients engage in negotiations to reach a more favorable agreement. For stand-alone or medium-sized clients, it can be relatively costly."
"Salesforce does a user capacity analysis on a regular basis. For example, if you're not using certain areas, you may lose access. If you don't go in and quote and edit quotes, all of a sudden you may lose your rights to quote."
"rice-wise, the solution is reasonable for what we're getting."
"It is expensive."
"The cost of this solution depends on negotiations. It is somewhere between expensive and reasonable. There is always additional costs for consulting services. It's the kind of solution that requires consulting, but it is not a licensing cost. It is a consulting cost. It is CAPEX versus OPEX."
"It is an expensive program."
"It is expensive."
"Salesforce is cheap."
