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."Amazon AWS is user-friendly and intuitive."
"Our primary use case is to use the solution for running many relatively small instances for back office applications and various other business important applications."
"Works very quickly and is well managed."
"The solution has good speed. It's very fast."
"The compute and the elasticness of the compute is really great. Whenever there's a load, it automatically adds the servers and then reduces the servers based on the configuration. This is really wonderful, more cost-effective, and it's been really good for us."
"The cloud storage based on S3 is one the most valuable services we have deployed since it allows us infinite scale in storage and extremely high durability."
"For testing, it is a cheap alternative to having to build your own labs."
"I think Amazon AWS is easy to use, and it's a good service. I also like Amazon EKS because it's good."
"The keyword search helps me in finding stuff quickly. So, I don't have to click around a lot."
"I'm not sure what the most valuable aspect of the solution is, but I can say that their finance and auditing systems are quite impressive. You can audit in different invoices right to procurement. It's all quite seamless."
"Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away."
"It is an easy product to use and does great things for our company. It keeps track of all of our sales activity."
"We used it for providing a 360 view of the customers from within Salesforce. So, a lot of data got presented there, for which we used Einstein Analytics. The Einstein Analytics dashboards were really great."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"The most valuable features of the Salesforce Platform are the ability to manage customers' data, many report filtering options, and consolidation."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"I would like to see CloudFormation made more in the programming way of thinking."
"Pricing is the one feature everyone wants AWS to improve."
"The problem with AWS is you have to keep up with the technology. If you don't stay up to date with the technology and its latest changes then you won't know what to use in your infrastructure."
"I also use Google Cloud GCP and AWS cannot directly use the Azure EC2 consult. They could add that feature. Direct connection to the EC2 console server would be very useful."
"The IEM (Infrastructure Event Management) appears to be complicated, specifically cross-account resource permissions."
"We like everything about the solution except for the general price."
"More complete and specific training for many of the technologies, specifically with Python Django and the CMS (Mezzanine)."
"One problem is that the AWS public cloud doesn't have shared storage capabilities. The second thing is the cloud performance versus on-prem."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail."
"I think that Salesforce can improve lead management when it comes to B2C. I would like to have more features specifically related to the B2C segment. The current process where you create a lead that's in the B2C segment and it creates an account makes no sense."
"They have some limitations as a cloud solution."
"Salesforce needs to be re-platformed, or re-architected, making it lighter."
"The back end really isn't user-friendly at all."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
