Good, but steep "Getting started"
This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform. It allows users to leverage existing HTML and javascript skills and it extends them to support platform-specific features. The product has a common codebase for multiple device platforms, but it is able to specialize…

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

"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."
"It has definitely improved how we function."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
"The most valuable aspect is that all data is stored in one place, making it easy to find what is needed and to report on it."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"The technical support services are good."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"Salesforce Platform is effective as it provides frameworks and pre-built components."
 

Cons

"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Salesforce is incredibly slow. It was difficult to run live sales calls and leveraging Salesforce at the same time."
"I think the search needs to be improved so as to allow for a broader keyword search."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"Salesforce Platform has a cumbersome interface when creating reports, dashboards, and those types of things. They could be a little bit more simple. The administration has to be an aficionado to do any sort of administration and maintenance, for example, setting up the way you want to modify the lead tracks or functions. These systems tend to be quite cumbersome."
"In terms of features, for our business needs, we have more than enough right now. There is nothing that we are missing or would like to add. They can maybe share some best practices so that when you are starting, you can stick to a good process, and you don't have to think so much about the process that you want or your CEO or CMO wants. The process should not be based on one person in the company. Having some best practices will make it easier to get started. These best practices can be based on what has worked for others. Its basic version is pretty simple, and the customizations are up to the companies, which can make startups like ours lose a lot of time in figuring out what all stakeholders want rather than what would work."
"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."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I don't know anything about its cost, but I'm sure it has got a nice little price tag that goes along with it."
"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."
"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"The price of Salesforce Platform is very expensive. There are other solutions that are similar that cost a quarter of what Salesforce Platform does, such as HubSpot."
"I haven't had to buy Salesforce, however, I have heard it's $1500 a user."
"In general, the price is an area where there is always room for improvement."
