I've been involved as a SME as my work transitions over to SF from our custom built Oracle solution. We've been at this for 4 years now and I feel like it's the lack of flexibility, but also just a lot of poor quality work from the 3 companies were used so far. All 3 companies were just using cheap labor from India that genuinely do not understand even the most basic concepts of our existing system/workflow. Overall SF has felt like a "do everything our way or suffer". And boy oh boy has there been suffering.
My friend the Sf consultant complains about that as well. Some of his best colleagues are from India, but they are far less numerous than the cheaper "code camp" guys from there.
I'm not very knowledgeable about Sf, but it is a little perplexing that companies want to buy it, then modify it to the point that it's not really Sf anymore. If it doesn't fit, use something else?
