"What we like the most about it is the fact that it helps us track the record of our projects. It keeps everything on one interface, facilitating the operations and planning.""The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability.""The solution has plenty of features that are useful.""They are already beginning to implement generative AI.""The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need.""What functions we don't get out of Salesforce, we typically receive from third-party applications that extend the capabilities. We integrate a lot of different products with Salesforce.""Checking out or extracting a report is just a click away.""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."

Cons
"It's not possible to significantly differentiate some of the UI elements."

More AWS Honeycode Cons →

"Getting reports in Salesforce is sometimes a little bit difficult. You need to do a lot of things to get detailed reports. This feature can be improved. Its price can also be improved. It is currently expensive.""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.""Areas of improvement can be around Engagement of Customers feature and approvals of transactional records.""Salesforce needs to be re-platformed, or re-architected, making it lighter.""Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great.""Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave.""The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn.""It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
