The platform provides tools and services to automate business processes, integrate with external applications and provide a responsive layout to users. Users can run and manage apps written in open languages like Ruby, Java and PHP using Salesforce and Heroku. Heroku Enterprise provides collaboration functionality, enterprise-grade support and control features for users. Salesforce Lightning Design System provides guides and code to developers for building apps. Users can deliver apps by using reusable building blocks including maps, calendars, buttons and number-entry forms. The platform allows users to build enterprise applications by dragging and dropping components into the Lightning App Builder. Users can also modify data-object relationships with a schema builder. Users can connect their apps with external data sources by using Lighting Connect while support is provided via video tutorials, an online forum and over the phone. > > Verdict: Rated **4.4/5** by 392 users.

It links with all my outreaching platforms like LinkedIn, Outlook and Ringover which saves time. > > **Cons**: I can't think of any negatives. It's such a simple to use platform that makes everything so transparent. > > It's a great CRM for keeping everything up to date in realtime which keeps all users in the loop with progress. ----- ### "Greater than good, you won't be disappointed\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 December 2025* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to leverage data from multiple sources into a single tool was amazing, and then to re-leverage it again, manipulate at it, and feed it to those who need to use it, amazing\! Excellent growth tool\! > > **Cons**: At beginning of using Salesforce, and depending on the changes with each release, the platform can be a bit challenging and intimidating because of all it can do. Understanding databases, and programming logic are good skills to have. > > Overall Salesforce has been a real game changer for our teams. The entry point was steap, but within 6 months we realized the ROI was a minimal 10x our investment, and over time that has only increased. ----- ### "Good but not great." — 3.0/5 > **Jason** | *30 June 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like is that it does provide a systematic way to track student applications and student inquiries/leads, etc. > > **Cons**: What I do not like is that it is not able to separate reporting lists when students have multiple applications for different programs. > > Overall the experience is positive. But the lack of ability to distinguish between reporting lists for students with multiple applications makes it very difficult to run reports with accuracy ----- ### "Kenna’s Salesforce Review" — 3.0/5 > **Makenna** | *17 April 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s bright and friendly to look at. I can personalize it to best fit my workday needs. There are different calendar views, where I might miss something on the calendar, I might catch on the day at a glance. It’s nice being able to bounce back and forth between coworkers tasks in case I need to make a quick change. I also love the interaction note spot\! It keeps the main description clean and easy to decipher. > > **Cons**: There is a lot going on. Sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming because there are multiple ways to get to the same thing. I would like there to be an option to mark an appointment as “rescheduled” instead of just “canceled”. My opened tabs in salesforce often glitch and change the tabs I have opened to a different tab. For example, if my “home” tab is open, it’ll glitch and change it to my “calendar” tab. > > Overall, it’s a user friendly system. It has many features that help me in my workday and getting tasks done, and it has features that help me connect better with clients. ----- ### "Great platform but there's room for improvement" — 4.0/5 > **Olga** | *18 January 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like working in Salesforce platform due to its versatility and ability to access ample amount of information in the same tab. > > **Cons**: I only wish it would be customizable and have the ability to easily limit the amount of information on one page to limit scrolling and clicking. Also it would be nice to include preset medical terminology and common medications names. > > Overall it's a very reliable platform, able to store and display tons of info, however, it would be much more efficient it it let each user customize what is displayed and have preset medical orders to limit typing. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/319631/salesforce-platform?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/319631/salesforce-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
