No one can replicate Salesforce.

Such a convulated, complicated and slow software - only Amazon Seller Services comes near it.

The same applies to SAP

It seems, eventually any large corporate systems become unmanageable

I'm not sure "Salesforce" is the right comparison here?

Thanks Roman, that's a great observation.

Whilst we do not want to directly replace Salesforce we see lots of companies comparing Openkoda directly with Salesforce, mainly due to the ability to build dynamic data models, modify business logic in runtime and apply pre-built application templates.

Openkoda does not have some of the Salesforce's clear limitations: it's open-source, fully extensible with Java and Javascript (no need to learn APEX or redo you certifications every year), can be run on-premise, it has no limits on data quering and it's just faster.
