"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"This tool doesn't have an internal database. It only relies on the data layer of Microsoft Cloud."
"The area where this product can be improved is the documentation. When we get stuck it's with the documentation when we are not able to find the codes we need."

"Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
"If you have resellers or distributors, you just need to figure out a way to set up the system in the backend. Since every company is different, it takes a little bit of time to figure that out."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"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."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement. It can be hard to learn, but when you have somebody who is experienced in this, it is like anything else. It is like Excel, you'll never know everything about Excel, but there's somebody who would possibly know. I'm sure I don't know all of the ins and outs of Salesforce."
"It is quite expensive. It has gotten to that point where it is a lot more pricey. It has kind of got its own proprietary language for development. It is probably never going to change, but if it had a more market language for development, it would be easier to find developers. They come at a premium cost, so it is expensive."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
