"Great CRM"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

Easy to see every contact and account in one place. Easy to see the activity on everything, so you know what is happening and what everyone else is doing on the account or contact.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

I do not like how sometimes it can be glitchy. It can also be slow at times. I wish it were more accessible and more user-friendly to make reports. I also wish I didn't need to refresh my current reports; they just automatically updated.

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

We need a single place where all team members can view and see activity and opportunities on our thousands of contacts and accounts. Salesforce makes it easy for us to all be updated and connected daily.

Nothing comes to mind other than the occasional disconnect between SF to Gmail.

I like that it is easy to organize. It has a clear process that when followed can unlock greater data, leads and information to help me succeed in my current role.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

Getting. to the point where you can access and understand Salesforce can take a lot of time and can be frustrating. It took me a lot of study and help in order to 'get it'.

In my current role, finding new leads and better data is key. Salesforce helps me find better leads that in turn result in closed deals and better prospects. I love it.

Not much to dislike, but a nice to have is a direct integration with our finance's team ERP's system. (ie. NetSuite) We currently use a 3rd party connector for the order to cash process.

"Everything you need!"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

I love that you can truly integrate your entire business process with Salesforce. You can manage your clients as well as your internal processes. I like how customizable the dashboards are as well!

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

Sometimes because there is so much in salesforce, it is hard to adopt and onboard new people to use it. With this being said, I wouldn't say I like that every instance of SF could be different depending on what company you are working for.

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

Being able to centralize all data in tracking the life cycle of a client and internal workstreams. It allows you to dive into data and see reporting about your clients and track internal workflow progress

"Salesforce Review"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

Salesforce is the number one hub for all sales and customer related information. We refer to SalesForce as a beast because it has a function needed for everything in our sales department - it is a great way to amalgamate and organize info and data.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

It is pretty expensive for the service, with an added cost if you want to expand your account to include more users. I do not work directly with SalesForce, so I do not have an account; I occasionally use it as a reference for our sales accounts using my colleagues log-in.

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

It organizes all of our client information, with specific details such as the last time this company has been contacted and who are our main contacts for this company.

"More than just a CRM"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

I can reflect my sales funnel in detail, so the sales leader has a holistic view and visualises data in dashboards. The ability to create reports as per my logic and manage campaigns

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

Some team members find it too technical but depend on person to person

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

The most crucial problem salesforce solves is it provides the whole organisation to view and participate in the sales and marketing efforts. The technical team can add comments on a specific account and salespeople can log all their sales activities. The sales leaders have a holistic view of organization sales funnel, and help them to make forecasts and reports

"Salesforce - Best CRM Platform Out there"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

The best thing that I love about Salesforce is that it is very easy and fun to learn when compared to other technologies/frameworks. The robustness, scalability, features, support, and security are a few of the reasons why is accepted as the best in the market today. The ability to integrate third-party applications makes it even better for usage. Offering features of the sales/service/Marketing cloud makes it easier for businesses to make the best out of this platform. The amount of customization which can be made while being at ease to achieve a successful outcome using this platform is truly amazing.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

I felt that converting the legacy applications which were built on salesforce classic to lightning was a bit of an extra effort. While working with integrations to other third-party applications when trying to achieve complex customization, the governor limits were a tricky play to get a pass.

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

Salesforce is enabling us to establish an efficient sales process along with the CPQ capabilities of Conga. We can provide the entire cart menu to our customers while being able to maintain their data and communicate most efficiently and securely as possible.

"Great database and client management software!"
What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

This is one of the more organized and easy-to-use data and client management systems. Loved using this software, makes for a very user-friendly database! The software sports a highly customizable user interface which allows the end user to adjust their experience to their needs and preferences.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

When trying to do mass uploads to the database, this software does require a degree in information technology to understand how to do it. There are several ways a mistake in Salesforce can result in duplicate records or other difficult-to-remedy issues.

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

Salesforce is a databasing software that helps in a variety of ways. As mentioned before, it is a database and client management software. Still, it can be used for project management in that you can use the same concept of creating records and then tracking project completion step by step.

What do you like best about Salesforce Platform?

Out of the Box features; Easy to use and a wide range of tools that are available within the Salesforce Ecosystem to make your job easy. Even a non technical person and learn and use it without a huge learning curve.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Platform?

With every platform, there are some limitations and features that are yet to be rolled out. The same goes for the Salesforce platform as well. While working you will realize there are some language limitations and many features are going to be release soon or are in GITHUB request queue

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

Salesforce is providing ease of doing Business under one single roof with different acquisitions and much more. This helps a lot to Business stakeholders and Developers as they don't have to look outside the Salesforce ecosystem.
