Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in PaaS Clouds."Image backup is a valuable feature. Even though this is a common feature, it is very helpful for us."
"The most valuable feature for us is the support, which is really efficient."
"There is easy integration with multiple providers and third-party services."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"It is very user-friendly, and intuitive, it will lead you and take you to the next steps."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"I like the reports and the dashboards. Since I'm a managing partner, I use the reports and dashboards to understand my team's contact management, opportunity management, and account management activities. We use Pardot for marketing campaigns."
"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."
"We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns."
"It doesn't offer Elastic IP like AWS. And also we can't configure our server based on region."
"It would be nice to have more built-in suites compared to others. It would enable easier integration."
"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."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
"I have found it takes an exceedingly long time to put opportunities or clients in the system. If I have an opportunity that I need to put in the system it could take approximately 10 minutes. This is a lot of time when you have multiple opportunities to put in. There are other tasks to do that are required by supervisors, such as forecasts. What I have done to save time is I did not input as much detail as I could have because I knew it was going to take me an hour to get five leads in."
"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."
"It does need very specific resources to help deploy it and buy in from the users. It's one of those items it's pretty disruptive and if it's not deployed properly and if it doesn't get utilized efficiently, it won't be effective."
"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."
"Sometimes what will happen is we work on it and then we move to a different tab and work on something else. After five minutes, when we come back, it automatically signs out."
"This platform is indeed on the expensive side."
