"The pricing model is good. It's pay-as-you-go."
"Security, quick deployment, and scalability are the top three features for me."
"The most useful feature of Amazon AWS is it can be accessed from anywhere."

"The solution scales extremely well."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"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."
"Intuitive to work with and the overall fundamental of the platform is very strong."
"The solution is used to track our customers."
"Its stability, performance, and usability are most valuable."
"he solution has improved over the years and the inputting of opportunity information is done a lot better and the GUI is good. The ability to customize dashboards and other elements was useful, we were able to move things around, for example, the forecasts. Most of the cells and input places were set, but we can customize the view and what we were looking at, such as on a daily, or weekly basis."
"Instead of using some third-party solutions, Amazon should include them as part of its offering."
"The interface is relatively complex."
"They're really good on the business computing side, but there are other services where they can do really well. They can improve the data analytics platform and the data warehousing platform."
"The price needs improvement."
"The customization could be improved."
"AWS should provide even more support and engagement to accelerate the adoption of new services and features."
"We don't know whether to increase server capacity or alert notifications. We don't know which hard disc to purchase or what the next recommended CPU is. There should be an indicator. We would like to have more guidance."
"There should be improvement in terms of creating databases of varying sizes which would provide flexibility."
"It would be better if they can add more from the pricing and functionality perspective. It is very expensive. I would be more than happy if they drop the prices. From the licensing perspective, if they can add more functionality, I would be more than happy."
"Although the platform is already set up for you, there's a lot of customization that needs to be done, especially for any new component we start using. For whatever solution we wanted, we had to think for ourselves and design it all on our own. And, unfortunately, there were some components that were not really mature in the beginning, like Tableau for example."
"Salesforce is incredibly slow. It was difficult to run live sales calls and leveraging Salesforce at the same time."
"The initial setup is rather complex."
"Salesforce Platform has a cumbersome interface when creating reports, dashboards, and those types of things. They could be a little bit more simple. The administration has to be an aficionado to do any sort of administration and maintenance, for example, setting up the way you want to modify the lead tracks or functions. These systems tend to be quite cumbersome."
"Salesforce Platform operates as a cloud system, and within our organization, numerous internal systems handle data processing. While real-time data retrieval is feasible through services, achieving real-time communication poses some challenges."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning."
