Salesforce CMS is well suited for those companies which are already using Salesforce. If you want to provide personalized content according to individual customer. If you want to share the content across multiple channels. Salesforce CMS is not typically suited for companies not using salesforce. Simple blogging does not require a Salesforce CMS.

SAP Build is a strong and reliable partner with a rich FAQ and consulting power. New features make sense and are easy to distribute within the team and to end users. The community is nice, and there are many discussions on product development, shared solutions, and productivity improvements. UI is also one of the strongest points.

Pros
  • Reporting and Dashboards are thorough and can show a wealth of important data to inform and scale processes. It's helpful in a high volume sales cycle to be able to quickly identify weak points in performance and productivity so that adjustments can be made.
  • Highly customizable. We are able to customize just about everything which allows us to track very specific things and in theory create better efficiency.
  • Parent/Child account hierarchy exists which is helpful.
  • Contact records can be associated with multiple accounts and opportunities. This, in theory, should minimize duplicates and mismanagement of contacts.
  • Console helps a lot with data nesting. Having a fairly comprehensive look at an account without searching through various tabs and sections speeds up an otherwise cumbersome platform.

  • SAP Build Workzone is a cloud ready service that it can provide access to users over cloud. It really liked it because for Non-SAP users they don't need to have seperate logins to access SAP systems
  • SAP Build LCNC helps to create an app either from scratch or take reference from existing apps and develop on top of it
  • SAP Build Code is pro-developer tool helps for creating enterprise ready web apps

Cons
  • It takes a while before it recognizes bounced emails.
  • We get so many notifications from a single action. Not sure if this can be modified in the settings though.
  • Error messages are sometimes unclear which makes it hard for us to identify the problem.

  • Comparing to other RPA Tools, SAP Build automation lacks enough user guidance.
  • Licensing is a little bit confusing.
  • From a technical perspective, older versions of the automation part are not always stable, but the other services (workflow, business rules, apps, etc.) are much more stable.

Usability
It's very good, but it's still living in a little bit in an older design aspect, but I think a lot of it is about to come out, just hasn't quite gotten there yet. Still a little clunky from a you have to know it to know it or you know it to use it. It takes a little bit of training to get into it. It's not quite the, anybody can come in and start using it immediately, type feel.

It offers a user friendly low-code interface with easily drag and drop feature that make application accessible to both developers and users. The UI interface for building flows , designing interface and connecting with other SAP services. This platform enables quick development and quick proto-type and process automation. But, some advanced feature like complex integration may need deeper knowledge in that.
