We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Salesforce Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution offers a low footprint. We don't have to come up with a data center ourselves. We basically don't have to own any hardware. We just rent a slice of their platform and we have everything we need."
"The storage is most valuable. The gateway and documentation are also quite good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The AWS feature that I most enjoy is Lambda functions. I primarily use serverless components because they allow you to process things without having to compromise on resources like when running EC2 instances or virtual machines. With minimal effort, you can scale up an unlimited number of processes, even concurrently, to process things. I frequently work with web APIs, so I use Lambda a lot in this area."
"Great scalability."
"The capacity to grow dynamically based on our needs is most valuable. We can increase resources dynamically. It is also very reliable and fast to implement."
"The technical support is good."
"It has helped reduce the cost by rationing the computing power and paying only on a per usage basis, instead of provisioning unneeded, idle, or unutilized computing power that is used only at 20% of its capacity or time."
"Salesforce is a phenomenal application. It's very diverse."
"The entire solution is very customizable and you are able to add many functionalities."
"The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well."
"It is a fairly useful and user-friendly tool for salespersons. It is very extensive and flexible. You can customize it for your needs, and you can use whatever you want. I like Salesforce."
"The solution provides a preferred method of backing up data."
"The solution is used to track our customers."
"A very flexible solution."
"It is very modular in approach. It is very light, and it can be used on various devices. It could be used on an Android phone or a laptop, which makes it good for the sales team on the road."
"Some services which were easy to use through shortcuts are now more complicated to use."
"The pricing could be a bit high at times. It's something they could improve upon."
"Amazon AWS is a very poor product for students. Microsoft Azure is a better solution."
"AWS support could be better."
"This solution could be improved by a better licensing model, especially for third-party software. Amazon AWS could also potentially be improved by more free storage, but I think that it's okay when compared to competitors' products."
"Their support can be improved. In some cases, their support is not as proficient as it can be. They should be quicker at getting back."
"One of the problems that I have seen is that some of the products are not as mature as others."
"There is no control of downtime."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
"Salesforce Platform could improve the UI and the responsiveness of their servers. The UI needs to be made user-friendly for all users."
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement."
"I would like to have integration with Google."
"The pricing of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement since, right now, I am not sure if Salesforce Platform has any plans for start-ups or small businesses."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"A company needs to carefully consider how they set up Salesforce in order to ensure it benefits them."
