Comments on: AppExchange 2.0 http://sfdc.arrowpointe.com/2006/07/18/appexchange-20/ Authored by Scott Hemmeter of Arrowpointe Corp, this blog is written from the perspective of a Salesforce.com solution provider and contains information on Arrowpointe's AppExchange products as well as tips, findings, sample code, functionality wishes, etc. Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:28:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Dejan Nenov http://sfdc.arrowpointe.com/2006/07/18/appexchange-20/#comment-1279 Dejan Nenov Fri, 21 Jul 2006 23:37:20 +0000 http://sfdc.arrowpointe.com/2006/07/18/appexchange-20/#comment-1279 The IT redux blog post is a brilliant summary of what AppExchange lacks today. Our applications - MakeTime - is one of select few, who were refused an official listing on the AppExchange, because Salesforce does not allow executable code and third party data to be hosted side-by-side with their own instances. This raises the unpleasant question about customer data security - when an application needs to store copies of customer data in order to operate. Clearly this is the case for most non-trivial or performance constrained tools. We will eagerly anticipate AppExchange 2.0, but for now it seems that alternative offerings offer better technology, if not equal marketing glitz.
