Very flexible, reasonably priced and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "A very flexible solution."
  • "UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."

What is our primary use case?

We're using Salesforce to get some data for one of our clients - Excel filters. I'm a solution lead and we are customers of Salesforce.

What is most valuable?

Compared to other CRM applications, Salesforce is very good and you can set it up in the cloud. It's very flexible. 

What needs improvement?

The UI needs to be improved. As developers, we can manage it, but for end users it's not very attractive in the workshop. It needs to be more user friendly and more intuitive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In terms of scalability, I think it's one of the best applications to come out recently.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very easy to scale. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I think the response time could be improved. We generally wait 24-48 hours for a response, which is quite a long time. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was relatively straightforward. Implementation was done in-house with assistance from Salesforce. Maintenance is really just the batching and updates. We have around 500 users in the company. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is okay and the cost varies depending on your requirements and number of users.

What other advice do I have?

I definitely recommend this product and rate it eight out of 10.
