More AgilePoint Pros →

"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need.""Most of the apps allow you to try out the product before buying it. The trial period depends on the product and varies from a week to 30 days.""A very flexible solution.""Intuitive to work with and the overall fundamental of the platform is very strong.""The solution can scale.""The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good.""The solution is very robust and easy to develop in.""What I like about the Salesforce Platform, in particular, its enterprise edition is that apart from its many features, you can have a wider view of the customers, a 360-degree view.

Cons
"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer.""They should add more information about functionality.""Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes.""The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier.""While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."

More AgilePoint Cons →

"The reporting needs improvement and the dashboard could have more components added.""Salesforce needs to be re-platformed, or re-architected, making it lighter.""Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail.""In terms of features, for our business needs, we have more than enough right now. There is nothing that we are missing or would like to add. They can maybe share some best practices so that when you are starting, you can stick to a good process, and you don't have to think so much about the process that you want or your CEO or CMO wants. The process should not be based on one person in the company. Having some best practices will make it easier to get started. These best practices can be based on what has worked for others. Its basic version is pretty simple, and the customizations are up to the companies, which can make startups like ours lose a lot of time in figuring out what all stakeholders want rather than what would work.""Technical support could be a bit faster.""The solution is a bit expensive.""The back end really isn't user-friendly at all.""They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
  • "I think the price is reasonable."
  • "Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
  • "It is more cost-effective than local tools."
  • More AgilePoint Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
  • "Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
  • "It is an expensive program."
  • "The licensing is per user per month, which we took out a contract on a long time back. It's really an okay price for what solutions are available and for how many features and what kind of functionality you get."
  • "The solution is a bit expensive."
  • "It is expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
  • "It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
  • "It is expensive."
