Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"It has definitely improved how we function."
"The solution provides a preferred method of backing up data."
"The queue management of the solution is its most valuable aspect."
"Its stability, performance, and usability are most valuable."
"A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"Salesforce is the best one out there."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"The only concern is that there is a number of the offerings which are built on their own proprietary technologies. With some of the offerings in Google Cloud, it's difficult to have a path to migrate to other cloud providers."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"I think there's still a lot that can be done with Google Meet and the video conferencing part of it. It could be more dynamic in terms of what can be done with it."
"If you have resellers or distributors, you just need to figure out a way to set up the system in the backend. Since every company is different, it takes a little bit of time to figure that out."
"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."
"The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together."
"They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."
"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."
"The management of Salesforce could be quite a task. Old and unusable contacts can add up over time. If I could wave a magic wand, it would be to initiate a self-cleaning feature."
"I think the interface should be enhanced and more user-friendly."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
