    I have used Salesforce Lightning for over 10 years and the main positive for me is how quick and reliable it is. Everything loads and updates instantly. Reporting is great and building dashboards have some really powerful features.

Dislike

Customisation is very, very tough. Fields can be messy and does not have a good user interface and is definitely not a beginner friendly product. At times, assigning workflows is difficult and time-eating.
