Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce Platform (formerly Salesforce App Cloud)
We are using it for some of our custom development and deployment of code to our Salesforce organizations. As we are moving from the Ant Migration tool, this has allowed us to move some of our code solutions to a app based model and allows us to modularize our customization.
- Works like an app environment
- Allows us to use third-party apps alongside our custom apps
- Allows us to share our apps with other organizations that we work with
- There are limits to how the apps can be developed that require some creative thinking/workarounds
- You are still constrained with standard Salesforce features
- It can be slow to correct if you have issues with a release, as you have to wait and go through the SFDC lifecycle
- Allows us to start modularizing and scaling out some of our business processes.
- Required additional time for moving workloads to production.
- It requires additional development to properly cover code.
Salesforce App Cloud provides a very easy way for you to install apps as well as deploy your own apps. You are, however, limited to the Salesforce marketplace and the requirements that they have for apps to be published in their marketplace. Even so, it's still fairly easy to get something or make something that meets your business needs.
