The platform provides tools and services to automate business processes, integrate with external applications and provide a responsive layout to users. Users can run and manage apps written in open languages like Ruby, Java and PHP using Salesforce and Heroku. Heroku Enterprise provides collaboration functionality, enterprise-grade support and control features for users. Salesforce Lightning Design System provides guides and code to developers for building apps. Users can deliver apps by using reusable building blocks including maps, calendars, buttons and number-entry forms. The platform allows users to build enterprise applications by dragging and dropping components into the Lightning App Builder. Users can also modify data-object relationships with a schema builder. Users can connect their apps with external data sources by using Lighting Connect while support is provided via video tutorials, an online forum and over the phone. > > Verdict: Rated **4.4/5** by 395 users.

There is room for improvement in some aspects but it is generally good and efficient. > > My overall experience with the Salesforce Platform has been extremely positive. What stands out the most is the reliability and continuous innovation that Salesforce consistently delivers. The platform is constantly evolving with new features, enhancements, and integrations that help businesses stay ahead without needing to completely reinvent their systems. Another major strength is the excellent customer support and community ecosystem. Whenever issues arise or guidance is needed, Salesforce provides responsive support along with a vast knowledge base, active community forums, and detailed documentation. This makes troubleshooting and learning much more efficient. ----- ### "By far the best business tech for the buck. Zero headaches" — 5.0/5 > **ANDREW** | *31 March 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Was I’d use. Sandbox development. Ability to go back and forth from lightning platform and classic. The ability to create any report. I mean ANY report. The tech is beyond advanced > > **Cons**: Tracking metrics and kpis at a glance. The vast integration compatibilities with Omni being able to synch multiple voip services seamlessly and the ability to integrate back end crm’s from outside departments > > Top notch. From the development and continual advances to the ease of use. I simply can’t say enough about it. The summits where you can learn so much than you thought possible. There’s a reason salesforce is dominating the market. ----- ### "Easy to Use CRM" — 5.0/5 > **Alan** | *19 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Such a great CRM. It links with all my outreaching platforms like LinkedIn, Outlook and Ringover which saves time. > > **Cons**: I can't think of any negatives. It's such a simple to use platform that makes everything so transparent. > > It's a great CRM for keeping everything up to date in realtime which keeps all users in the loop with progress. ----- ### "Great platform but there's room for improvement" — 4.0/5 > **Olga** | *18 January 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like working in Salesforce platform due to its versatility and ability to access ample amount of information in the same tab. > > **Cons**: I only wish it would be customizable and have the ability to easily limit the amount of information on one page to limit scrolling and clicking. Also it would be nice to include preset medical terminology and common medications names. > > Overall it's a very reliable platform, able to store and display tons of info, however, it would be much more efficient it it let each user customize what is displayed and have preset medical orders to limit typing. ----- ### "Greater than good, you won't be disappointed\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 December 2025* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to leverage data from multiple sources into a single tool was amazing, and then to re-leverage it again, manipulate at it, and feed it to those who need to use it, amazing\! Excellent growth tool\! > > **Cons**: At beginning of using Salesforce, and depending on the changes with each release, the platform can be a bit challenging and intimidating because of all it can do. Understanding databases, and programming logic are good skills to have. > > Overall Salesforce has been a real game changer for our teams. The entry point was steap, but within 6 months we realized the ROI was a minimal 10x our investment, and over time that has only increased. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/319631/salesforce-platform?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/319631/salesforce-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
