Flexible development platform on the cloud
The Product is very powerful. It provides flexibility to build almost any kind of applications. Business users can build useful apps without taking help from developers. Extensive set of resources are available to build expertise on the platform. Also customers/partners are always available to answer to queries.
Pros
Force.com platform (Lightning) is very powerful development platform on the browser. It can be used to build applications for any industry. The pricing is on per user per month basis.
Many tools like Validation rules, Workflows, process builder are available for business users. These tools allow business users to build apps on the platform with fairly complex logic. For additional functionality, developers are needed. Developers can build more advanced features using Apex, Visualforce and Lightning Communities.
Trailhead and developer account are free resources available to build expertise on the product.
Excellent community of customers/partners is available to support queries.
Cons
Like any complex software there is a steep learning curve. Hiring developers in the US on the platform can be expensive. The license pricing may also be expensive for small businesses.

Very Expensive Customizable Software
Pros
No coding needed for quick and easy business modifications. Highly customizable and multi use.
Cons
Licenses are considerably expensive. Extremely expensive if you’re hiring an admin, developer, or development company to manage the software.

A big Toolbox that can reach your goals
I will say that my first contact was a little bit complicated, you need to really take your time to understand how to use it and to understand what you can do with it, with time you will see the power of the platform and that it can be usefull for a lot of people in your company.
Pros
I really like the App Exchange of Salesforce, there is a lot of applications that can help to go faster to deploy your Salesforce.
Cons
It's a toolbox so there is a lot of things that's you need to develop by yourself or with the help of a partner

The licensing became an obstacle as we continued to grow.
