Featured Reviews

Sunny Nair - PeerSpot reviewer

Automated weekly analytics have improved case tracking and boosted research productivity
In terms of customization and requesting features that need to be enabled, the process is longer than ideal. As a user, I have very limited access rights to Salesforce Platform, which limits my capability. If a user were granted access to consume more features from Salesforce Platform and the system could show exactly who needs to grant that particular access, that would be a very good improvement. If I need to gain access to a specific feature within Salesforce Platform, it should point me to who in my organization manages it. If the system is able to tell me who exactly is managing it, I can get in touch with that particular user to understand whether I can gain access. This particular feature seems to be lacking, not only in Salesforce Platform, but in any CRM application.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The reporting capabilities are pretty user-friendly."
"It is an easy product to use and does great things for our company. It keeps track of all of our sales activity."
"Salesforce Platform is very good at what it does."
"The product has definitely helped us improve our support services."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports."
"I like using the reports feature, but also the fact that we are able to have a smooth process when it comes to leads and opportunities."
"Before Salesforce, we used to use four to five disparate systems to manage all the customers; with Salesforce, we have been given one central source of tools."
"Salesforce as a platform gives a lot of freedom to have a customized view."
"We almost don't have to maintain our servers."
"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."
"The technical support is extremely helpful, and they have a very good support team."
"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."
"Jelastic is exactly what we expect from a PaaS vendor: easy-to-start, easy-to-manage, container based technology, support for vertical and horizontal auto-scaling, and all this without vendor lock-in."
"As a strategic solution, it's really good because it will avoid a lot of cost if you are building your data center, for example, or from scratch."
"If you are looking for a great PaaS product, don't hesitate to check Jelastic!"
"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."
 

Cons

"Salesforce introduces a lot of products and sometimes rebrands them, causing confusion. They acquire products like W and retain their names, creating confusion in the market. This confusion isn't related to the product's functionality but rather its positioning and rebranding. For instance, what was once known as Community Cloud is now referred to as Experience Cloud. This can be confusing for business leaders."
"Salesforce is incredibly slow. It was difficult to run live sales calls and leveraging Salesforce at the same time."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"It is quite expensive. It has gotten to that point where it is a lot more pricey. It has kind of got its own proprietary language for development. It is probably never going to change, but if it had a more market language for development, it would be easier to find developers. They come at a premium cost, so it is expensive."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"Salesforce's constant rebranding and name changes can be confusing for both customers and partners."
"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"
"Areas of improvement can be around Engagement of Customers feature and approvals of transactional records."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
"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."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Salesforce does a user capacity analysis on a regular basis. For example, if you're not using certain areas, you may lose access. If you don't go in and quote and edit quotes, all of a sudden you may lose your rights to quote."
"I don't know anything about its cost, but I'm sure it has got a nice little price tag that goes along with it."
"The cost of this solution depends on negotiations. It is somewhere between expensive and reasonable. There is always additional costs for consulting services. It's the kind of solution that requires consulting, but it is not a licensing cost. It is a consulting cost. It is CAPEX versus OPEX."
"It is expensive."
"Salesforce is cheap."
"The licensing is on the expensive side, but most clients engage in negotiations to reach a more favorable agreement. For stand-alone or medium-sized clients, it can be relatively costly."
"In general, the price is an area where there is always room for improvement."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
