Featured Reviews

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.
Miguel Maloney Thompson - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The lead conversion process in Salesforce Sales Cloud is extremely valuable."
"The keyword search helps me in finding stuff quickly. So, I don't have to click around a lot."
"Scalability to configure and integrate."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"Salesforce is a phenomenal application. It's very diverse."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution provides a preferred method of backing up data."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
 

Cons

"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."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"The solution's UI is horrible."
"There is a considerable effort required to load the data, involving processes like XML connections."
"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."
"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."
"Salesforce Platform could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Azure. For development, we use Microsoft Azure and there was proper integration between the two solutions. We had issues with the customer and they were logged into the Salesforce Platform. We did not have any good way of integrating those issues into the R&D. The R&D mainly uses Microsoft Azure."
"I think that Salesforce can improve lead management when it comes to B2C. I would like to have more features specifically related to the B2C segment. The current process where you create a lead that's in the B2C segment and it creates an account makes no sense."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced."
"Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
"It is expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
"It is expensive."
"Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
"It is an expensive program."
"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."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
