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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"It has definitely improved how we function."
"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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the unit coordination between sales and marketing when it comes to lead management."
"The solution has plenty of features that are useful."
"I'm not sure what the most valuable aspect of the solution is, but I can say that their finance and auditing systems are quite impressive. You can audit in different invoices right to procurement. It's all quite seamless."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"The entire solution is very customizable and you are able to add many functionalities."
 

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."
"Identification management systems integration should be easier."
"Simplification is something it needs. Every time you get the engineers involved, they make things a little too complicated. It might be more beneficial to simplify everything for quick and easy reference."
"When it switched to lightning, it threw me for a loop. When they changed the look and feel, I had a hard time finding things and doing what I used to do."
"I think the search needs to be improved so as to allow for a broader keyword search."
"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."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"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."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
