Cons
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX.""It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."

More Axway Appcelerator Cons →

"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 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.""The reporting functionality is not very intuitive.""They need an easy way of getting details and then adding to it and then being able to do it in a more simplified way""Salesforce needs to be re-platformed, or re-architected, making it lighter.""An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release.""There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning.""Salesforce is a pretty cumbersome product. It's a product that you need to spend quite a bit of time customizing to your unique business model. Unless you have somebody in house that knows it really well, you're better off spending money with a consultant to get what you need."
