I'm going to pass somewhat :) .. This was 6 years ago and I didn't work with it enough to really have an educated opinion. The department that used it thought it was revolutionary technology but honestly most of their devs were rejects/burn outs from the 'more real' engineering teams, to put it mildly. What we saw in our team (.NET) was that data became siloed and was awkward to use. It was also really challenging to build responsive applications when you had to interact with clunky web services. User experience was absolutely awful the times when we couldn't just send it async. ... that said, if I had the opportunity to architect something like that, I would have rather opted to keep the data elsewhere and just push it to SalesForce when it changes.
