AppExchange App Review Series Part – 4 is a part of blog series – AppExchange App Review Series which is inclined to help you in selection process for the reason I’ll try picking up & installing newly added applications randomly and provide you on-hands detailed information about work ability of that app and prospects down the line.
Like there’s a different key to every lock, different solution to every problem and different opinion for every thought, in the same way there are many solutions to a given requirement.All we need to decide is which one best suites our requirement in terms of business possibilities, cost-effectiveness, usability, enhancements, efforts and prospects.
Salesforce provides widest range of products and applications which are already developed that might suite your requirement and help you in generating businesses out of it, all you need to diagnose is which application is much closer to match your requirement and how can you customize it accordingly.
There’s one “Suite” where all the answers to your problem resides, we call it “App-Exchange”. All applications that reside here are well tested and uniqueness is maintained on priority and with each application there’s a Functional Guide to help you get an insight about the app.
