"Solution as an integral platform for sales and business marketing"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

I like its interface and the way it is presented to handle through the cloud different aspects of an organization and projects that are carried out within a company, is a CRM quite complete in which integrations are made with different platforms to achieve a better overall performance, is quite complete so I like it because I can very objectively follow advertising campaigns and quotes and budgets of them, I generate leads to search for potential customers who are then followed as future customers.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

It is quite expensive, has a learning curve quite difficult at first must invest time for implementation because it is not easy to adapt to your platform are many details that must be taken into consideration.

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

The first steps were to reorganize the projects and advertising campaigns that my company had to deliver, having everything on an organized board saved us a lot of time and money because Salesforce has a very predictive platform, is expensive because many of its tools have a cost but is worth if you want a strong platform and very complete.

"Great CRM tool - but be prepared to invest time to really take advantage of it."
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

Salesforce is really an entire development platform rather than just a CRM. You can use it out of the box but for companies like ours, who need high levels of customization, you can add basically whatever you need.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

Salesforce has some arbitrary code, API, and storage limits that can get in the way. Mainly the code size when doing programming behind fields for user input. This has required frequent work arounds. You are charged extra for additional API calls and storage which can be issue if you integrate with another system.

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have an in house ERP that lacked any usable CRM. Salesforce allowed us to integrate a platform for them and connect it to our backend systems. It's highly reliable and has increased our sales reps' productivity tremendously.

"Lightning and the Thunder!"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

Compared to the old Salesforce... Lightning is right! It's fast, way prettier of a layout, and much easier to navigate where you want to go.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

There are still some errors that pop up, but I believe that is mostly because of the process of moving from old Salesforce to Lightning.

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Manage client accounts! It has become a breeze to find what I'm looking for and make changes. I'm able to do things much faster!

"Great experience as sales rep using SF Lightning"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

Really helpful to be able to track opportunities and tasks that are due. There are a lot of different view points in Lightning to help you stay organized and on-top of high priority items. Can easily use Lightning to track your cadence as well.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

I thought that it was a steep learning curve which was not ideal.

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're able to keep track, as a team, of all of our pipelines and leads very easily. Different folks in the company with different sales roles have different view points which make it especially beneficial to use.

"The best CRM tool out there as long as you know what you need"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

The best thing aboit lighting would be hoe easy it is to integrate multiple softwares/services to it like Slack and TalkDesk our live would have never been easier when it comes to handling cases taking in phone calls and chat, it even helped out team make a proper customer influx and payments forecasts and when t9 expect them, thw only downside is.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

The service is really reliant on very fast Internet connection it works best on fibre networks that has the speed if at the very least 10Mbps and a pc that runs 7th Gen I3 or better/equivalent l. Don't even try your lick on a dual core CPU which is to be expected considering all of the functions and tools Salesforce is offering and since it is fully cloud based decent connection is important.

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

What it solved was our continued helplessness in finding a tool that can fully integrate customer data that we receive from out agents and connectivity softwares (chat, email, IVR) plus the full integration that it has with our current dialer/Phone system TalkDesk was something we could ever hope for.

"Salesforce Lightning Is Wicked Fast"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

I like how fast you can navigate between tabs and how intuitive the layout is. I've used the Classic version, and much more prefer the Lightning version. The aesthetically pleasing colors and font are also a nice touch that I think actually helps me do my job with a little extra oomph!

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

The only thing I wish could be added is an integration with my companys admin pages, having all the systems communicate seamlessly would be amazing.

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems that are being solved with Salesforce include un-organization and clutter. The Salesforce platform efficiently organizes and de-clutters information in a way that is easy to read and navigate.

What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

It's very easy to create lightning apps. Easy to customize pages using lightning app builder. Lightning Aura Framework and lightning web components are development options which helps in leveraging and customizing Salesforce Orgs.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

Conversion of Vfpages into lightning takes time that is custom components only.

"Best CRM for Small and Large Businesses"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

Salesforce Lightning has so many great selling points. But the two main things that sold our company on it were the customization capabilities and the in-depth reporting features. Salesforce Lightning now allows you to create custom apps and pages for your business teams so each department can view exactly what they need without any additional clutter. The customization also applies to reporting which can be used with their new drag and drop feature and custom formula building. The graphing options that are cpable to use with reports are great as well.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

I dislike the itemized pricing for each product or add-on they have. It reminds me of the new selling format for video games where you only get very simple bare bones, and are kind of forced to buy expansion packs in order to navigate the game easily and advance. The same is true for Salesforce, and I understand the capitalistic reason, just doesn't seem user-focused.

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Salesforce as a CRM and reporting software to track our customers' information, sales pipeline, ROI for advertising campaigns, closing ratios, and YTD sales goals. ,

"Great CRM tool with lots of features "
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

The ability to handle the sales, marketing, and support process of complex products is very easy with this tool. There are many integrations out of the box (on their salesforce exchange) available with this tool.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

Price is little bit high. But its worth to use this product because of the functionalities available in Salesforce

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides us many out-of-box functionalities which can helps us in minimising the customisation of the functionalities. Happily we can use this

"SalesForce Lightning Trumps SalesForce Classic"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

SalesForce Lightning seems to be a lot more compatible with the mobile app. I feel that Lightning is a lot easier to navigate than classic. You can do a lot of actions on the same screen underneath an account versus having to leave the page to navigate like you have to do on classic.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

In depth training is necessary. Our SalesForce administrator gave an in depth training that set our team up for success.

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company relies heavily on tracking goals through SalesForce. Goals are a lot easier to measure now that we're using lightning.

The simplified layout and ability to create visualizations is the key to maximizing the power of Salesforce Lightning on the analytics front.

Converting from classic to lightning is an uphill battle. The increased time in lightning must be factored in especially when creating complex reports.

"Salesforce Lightning is easy to use - user friendly. "
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

I like the convenience of it and how user friendly it is for me. We were using Salesforce Classic and Lightning is so much better for the job I do now - it’s a lot of administrative work and it’s easier to navigate around quickly.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

It tends to be slow sometimes, but not too bad.

What problems is Salesforce Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

It just makes everything easily accessible and convenient because instead of using Zendesk and Salesforce, we now just use Salesforce Lightning.
