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

"The solution is simple. It's very easy to deploy, and there's no risk with sorting that out. It's very fast to develop the screens and the modelling."
"he solution has improved over the years and the inputting of opportunity information is done a lot better and the GUI is good. The ability to customize dashboards and other elements was useful, we were able to move things around, for example, the forecasts. Most of the cells and input places were set, but we can customize the view and what we were looking at, such as on a daily, or weekly basis."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"Scalability to configure and integrate."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"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 solution is easy to use."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"It is a great platform. It's definitely an improvement from the GCP application that we were using previously."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive. They should try to improve their pricing strategy."
"Salesforce Platform operates as a cloud system, and within our organization, numerous internal systems handle data processing. While real-time data retrieval is feasible through services, achieving real-time communication poses some challenges."
"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."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
"I think the search needs to be improved so as to allow for a broader keyword search."
"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."

"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
"In general, the price is an area where there is always room for improvement."
