    Multiple capabilities that VMware Cloud Foundation on IBM Cloud provides are excellent and very much involved in secure data migration and management, easy to monitor server performance and the virtual capability is on top and the data analytics using the platform are provided in real-time and the reports are the most useful, especially on the critical situations within the business development.

    Cons
    Salesforce
    • 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.

    • Only setting the advanced functionalities.
    • The basic knowledge can not full manipulate the platform.
    • To create reports for big data is sometime very turf.

    Usability
    Salesforce
    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.

    I am not an administrator so there may very well be outstanding Support and I am just not privy to it. On a user level it's hard to gauge the effectiveness and responsiveness of Support because nearly everything has to go through an administrator

    We were previously using an older version prior to it becoming Salesforce Lightning Platform so we were well adverse on the advantages of using a CRM, to begin with. It made sense to convert to Salesforce Lightning Platform after we were given a free trial of the platform. Certain reps were chosen to experiment with it and from there a decision was made to move forward. We've been customers ever since.
