Low cost Salesforce functionality, fully customise
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Salesforce Platform from other similar products?
IT gives you a lot of the standard functionality of Salesfoce (bar the sales objects) at a fraction of the price of a full licence. You can still create custom apps and deploy them to platform licences and get great functionality
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
you can create and add any custom apps or objects/fields that you can think of. Unlimited functionality for the one low price.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I understand that they have to remove some functionality to keep the licecne price lower but it would make sense to have the affected objects as read only. so they can still be viewed but not worked with.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Ease into it. Start with it as a highly functional contact manager type application where oyu can store accounts, contact and associated correspondance, once the team has gotten uses to that being adding new apps and objects to close functionality gaps.
