Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce.com

We utilize the Salesforce platform across our entire organization. Every department from Human Resources, Quality Assurance, and Accounting use the program on a daily basis to perform almost every aspect of their daily routine. Salesforce solves many problems including communication regarding customers, keeping track of projects for customers, and internal support requests. Any of our users can log in and know exactly what they need to do for the day, what their team is working on, and locate any other improtnat information they need regarding our customers. It is basically a one stop shop for information.
  • Custom programming - Salesforce is able to be customized which is a great asset. The ability to create custom objects, visualforce pages, and triggers is indispensable.
  • Releases - Salesforce does a great job of communicating upcoming changes and offering training and documentation on the new features.
  • IdeaExchange - They allow customers to submit enhancements ideas for the salesforce platform and allow voting by peers. They take these ideas into consideration for upcoming releases.
  • Field Limitations - Currently Salesforce only allows 25 roll-up summary fields which can be frustrating at times. I am not sure why there is a limitation on those.
  • Dashboards - I would like to be able to customize dashboards more dynamically. Change colors, add more reports, resize as needed, etc.
  • Customer Support - I loathe having to call or log a case with their support team. I always receive very dry service and rarely ever have my question answered.
  • Increase in customer support and service
  • Increased employee efficiency
  • Increase in our sales pipeline
I have not evaluated similar products.
It can be suited anywhere, whether you are performing sales or tracking projects. The reporting capabilities are endless as long as the information is stored in Salesforce. It can house all customer information and track their lifecycle. It can manage your sales pipeline and help accountability for staff.

Salesforce Implementation

Salesforce Support

I prefer not to ever have to involve Salesforce support. I rarely get an answer and they call non-stop to my mobile phone and work phone. They ask questions that are clearly answered in the case description. It is as though they don't read it.
ProsCons
Kept well informed
Slow Resolution
Poor followup
Problems left unsolved
Escalation required
Difficult to get immediate help
Need to explain problems multiple times
N o I can't. I have never received exceptional support

Salesforce Reliability

They always advise of maintenance windows which never interrupt daily processes and I have only experienced 1 outage in my 5 years of working with SF which was resolved in less than 10 minutes.
