Versatile platform to make App Dev easy

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Salesforce Lightning Flow from other similar products?

Integrations, product capabilities, extensive documentation, competitive pricing. Most of the recent features of this platform are complex but the documentation that is in place for developers and endusers is the best and world class. Compared to the competitors, the feature set and future plan are very planned and the announcements made are very clear. Data integration is the heart for any low code app platform that eases the creation of tables and storing data with ease. At the same time, integrating with external world through REST connections is the backbone of Salesforce where the configuration is easy and understandable.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Event infrastructure [pub-sub], Approval Flow, Einstein, Chatter, Notifications service.

What do you dislike most about this product?

UI/UX in some flows - ex. administration. Programming APEX is little slow for compile and run times.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Pricing for sub categories must be considered and features must be chosen. Explore documentation before jumping into implementation to look for limitations
