Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is simple. It's very easy to deploy, and there's no risk with sorting that out. It's very fast to develop the screens and the modelling."

More Infinite Blue Pros →

"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment.""I like it because of the fact that it lets me know what I'm working on and what I've recently worked on. It also helps me and allows me to do tracking. If I want to go out and find out how many times I've touched customers, I can find that information out. It tracks such information, and we use it. If we send any type of promotions out, it tracks who gets those promotions and how they've responded to those promotions.""Salesforce's strongest feature is reporting especially. It's also a lot more usable than other platforms I've worked with. It has a great user experience, with the ability to filter and access information in real-time.""We haven't had any issues with stability so far.""Salesforce is the best one out there.""The entire solution is very customizable and you are able to add many functionalities.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports.""It is very modular in approach. It is very light, and it can be used on various devices. It could be used on an Android phone or a laptop, which makes it good for the sales team on the road."

Cons
"The solution is expensive. They should try to improve their pricing strategy."

More Infinite Blue Cons →

"It does need very specific resources to help deploy it and buy in from the users. It's one of those items it's pretty disruptive and if it's not deployed properly and if it doesn't get utilized efficiently, it won't be effective.""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.""Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail.""The reporting functionality is not very intuitive.""The solution is a bit expensive.""It may be slow, but that is relative. When compared to Siebel CRM, which was large, clunky, and extremely slow, Salesforce seemed fast to me.""There is always room for improvement. It can be hard to learn, but when you have somebody who is experienced in this, it is like anything else. It is like Excel, you'll never know everything about Excel, but there's somebody who would possibly know. I'm sure I don't know all of the ins and outs of Salesforce.""Technical support could be a bit faster."

  • "Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
  • "It is an expensive program."

  • "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."
