Comparison between the Salesforce Classic and Salesforce Lightning

Even after all the outstanding features that are available in the salesforce lightning design, salesforce classic is still the most preferred infrastructure for various businesses. There are many reasons for that such as introducing a transition can disrupt the flow and the lightning is still a work in progress. Salesforce Classic is better suited for big companies due to the collective cost of Salesforce Migration.

Salesforce lightning enables the optimization and simplification of data with the help of the new cloud feature and provides your organization with the necessary tools to increase productivity and enhance customer support operations. It does have its limitations such as the lightning does not support custom javascript buttons.

However you can make use of visual workflows and process builders to make things work to a certain extent, but for the custom buttons that use javascript source, it is not an ideal alternative.

Salesforce lighting does not support multiple apps from App exchange. And the features become lesser with every new release but it still has a long way to go. Contact our experts for a free consultation to find out how salesforce lightning can be utilized to its fullest potential.
