"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"It is simple to use. It is much simpler than AWS. It is also very powerful."

"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."

"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
"The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together."

"I have found it takes an exceedingly long time to put opportunities or clients in the system. If I have an opportunity that I need to put in the system it could take approximately 10 minutes. This is a lot of time when you have multiple opportunities to put in. There are other tasks to do that are required by supervisors, such as forecasts. What I have done to save time is I did not input as much detail as I could have because I knew it was going to take me an hour to get five leads in."
