Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution can scale.""Salesforce is the best one out there.""It is a fairly useful and user-friendly tool for salespersons. It is very extensive and flexible. You can customize it for your needs, and you can use whatever you want. I like Salesforce.""The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability.""A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience.""The solution scales extremely well.""Scalability to configure and integrate.""One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."

More Salesforce Platform Pros →

"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature.""The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions.""The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing.""The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research.""Technical support from Jelastic is very good."

Cons
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement.""In Salesforce, every customer is unique and it's not possible to bundle them together effectively if they are from the same company or move companies, et cetera.""The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors.""It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields. It could be a bit more light if the field guys want to use it on a mobile phone on the road. For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business.""Reporting could be better. Reporting is Excel-based, and it has sucked since the inception of the company. That's why I was excited about the fact of them bringing MuleSoft into the fold and Tableau.""I don't have any notes for improvement. It serves us well.""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.""An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."

More Salesforce Platform Cons →

"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows.""Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products.""The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution.""The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it.""The backup functionality needs to be improved."

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."
  • More Salesforce Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
  • "I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
