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

"It is a great platform. It's definitely an improvement from the GCP application that we were using previously."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"Intuitive to work with and the overall fundamental of the platform is very strong."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"There are no major performance issues in the solution."
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
"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."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."
 

Cons

"The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn."
"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."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
"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."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing."
"Identification management systems integration should be easier."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"The product's additional features can be expensive."
"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"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 the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"The licensing is per user per month, which we took out a contract on a long time back. It's really an okay price for what solutions are available and for how many features and what kind of functionality you get."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
