Featured Reviews

Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.
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

"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"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 stability has been great."
"Marketing and Sales Lead, Forecasting, Campaign management."
"What I like about the Salesforce Platform, in particular, its enterprise edition is that apart from its many features, you can have a wider view of the customers, a 360-degree view. I also enjoy managing opportunities in the Salesforce Platform a lot because it's easier and gives you a wider view, compared to HubSpot."
"We like that the technology is very agile and flexible in the sense that there's a large partner ecosystem within Salesforce Platform. This enables us to choose from many different partners with different advantages, and all of it can be done in a plug-and-play kind of way."
"A very flexible solution."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"They are already beginning to implement generative AI."
 

Cons

"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"It may be slow, but that is relative. When compared to Siebel CRM, which was large, clunky, and extremely slow, Salesforce seemed fast to me."
"An expensive solution requiring a lot of configuration."
"They have some limitations as a cloud solution."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"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"
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"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."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is somewhat expensive."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"I rate this solution a six out of ten for pricing. Though the solution is on the pricier side, it still offers good value for money."
"The solution is a bit 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."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
