"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the flexibility the tools give us to change any customer requirements on the fly, when we are in a meeting. I also like how easy it is to deploy the code between environments and how easy it is to integrate OutSystems with other systems."
"One thing I like about OutSystems is that there's no lock-in. You can keep running your applications because it's on .NET and hosted centrally. That's one of the advantages I see there in terms of not having an IT strategy that has a dependency on a particular platform."
"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"Speed of delivery: We were able to reduce development time by 30%."
"The technical support is perfect."
"The reporting capabilities are pretty user-friendly."
"It is very user-friendly, and intuitive, it will lead you and take you to the next steps."
"Intuitive to work with and the overall fundamental of the platform is very strong."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"The stability has been great."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"It's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity."
"The PDD framework can't be used for the behavioral-driven development way of working."
"In my opinion, the support and the pricing could be better."
"The integration Studio could be improved. It needs a tool in which we could develop C# code and then integrate into OutSystems. The application could have a better UI."
"The documentation needs to be more robust."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
"Currently, in mobile applications, we don't have push notifications."
"The asynchronous processing and multithreading tasks for which the current resources of the platform are very generic and not built for the end-user. Any asynchronous jobs have to be constructed with an end-user dashboard to allow inspection of the status of the activities."
"The latest version of the app generation tools could be more user-friendly."
"I think that Salesforce can improve lead management when it comes to B2C. I would like to have more features specifically related to the B2C segment. The current process where you create a lead that's in the B2C segment and it creates an account makes no sense."
"The reporting for Salesforce could be approved. It is a manual process and it would be useful to have a guide or videos on how to generate reports or any other cool things that you could do with the platform."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting functionality is not very intuitive."
"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."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
