Chose Salesforce Lightning Platform
Salesforce stands out purely for its enterprise pedigree. No other competitor out there knows Enterprise business as well as Salesforce does. It is levels about the rest of the competition in terms of managing heavy processing requirements of a large enterprise. I did not have …

Chose Salesforce Lightning Platform
Compared to Sage CRM, Salesforce Lightning Platform is leaps and bounds ahead. Sage CRM feels outdated and very slow compared to Salesforce Lightning Platform. There is a lot more ability to integrate Salesforce Lightning Platform with other APIs and systems. There is more of …
I have been using Salesforce for two years now. Ans I have not used any other platform before similar on this. I find Salesforce very easy to use and this really makes your job much easier and faster. Its features are easy to understand and use and I am glad I have learned …
We have always been a Salesforce shop, but have grown with the App Cloud platform as it's evolved. We eventually moved to lightning based on the streamlined interface and increased ease of use for our employees. So far we are happy with the results. Would definitely recommend …
Salesforce, while more expensive, provides faster support, higher scalability options, and an increased opportunity to change any details whether it's about user permissions management, custom field or object creation, or an integration of another application. What really sets …
Salesforce has more functionality as a CRM platform. The major disadvantage is the ability to integrate with Microsoft products. Ability to integrate with Microsoft is the best part about 356 given that it is a Microsoft product. Even though the price is more expensive, it …

Chose Salesforce Lightning Platform
We were previously using an older version prior to it becoming Salesforce Lightning Platform so we were well adverse on the advantages of using a CRM, to begin with. It made sense to convert to Salesforce Lightning Platform after we were given a free trial of the platform. …
I would love to switch back to Service Cloud as it was much, much more intuitive and fast. I would even take Salesforce Classic over Lightning. It at least wasn't this slow.
I think Salesforce has the most powerful developer engine - I have yet to need a module that I couldn't create (maybe with help). I probably could have made the others work but Salesforce, in my opinion, made it the easiest. Salesforce is reliable and established as well so …
I used a program formerly known as "CP." I considered it somewhat outdated, and it does not have any of the modern features that the Salesforce Lightning Platform (formerly Salesforce App Cloud) has. I consider the Salesforce Lightning Platform (formerly Salesforce App Cloud) …
I use both. SF is the constant through the organization and I receive leads into SF and pass on opportunities through SF. SL is better for internal processes within business dev.
Salesforce is the premeire product. Period. The others are cheaper and less capable, they may fulfill your organisation's needs but you will always be looking at Salesforce with wishful eyes. If you are a company that needs to bootstrap then spend the time to evaluate your …
Microsoft is pretty limited in functionality compared to Salesforce. Most folks coming into your organization are going to have some level of Salesforce experience but will most likely not have experience with Dynamics. Dynamics doesn't connect as well to other platforms.
I believe the only reason we didn't choose monday.com is because we're just a bit bigger (company size- 75 people) than what monday.com handles. We also are in San Francisco, and Salesforce pretty much owns this entire city. I was also not part of the selection process of the …
There is a reason why the Salesforce Lightning Platform is the market leader for all things related to customer relationship management. While Close is somewhat user-friendly, it pales in comparison to all the features, bells, and whistles that the Salesforce Lightning Platform …
We originally used spreadsheets when we first started. That worked fine until we started growing by over 100% year over year. We were able to upload all of our previous accounts in Salesforce Classic once it was called for. However, Salesforce Classic soon became redundant and …
We needed a product that would allow for easy and dynamic reports for potential and new clients. Account Managers use other products as well to monitor the client's success and Salesforce allows for seamless integration to other platforms. This serves as a one-stop-shop for all …
We currently use the two together, along with HubSpot sales. Salesforce is our primary CRM and where we track and manage account and contact information. Salesforce is much more flexible and intuitive - everything is where you would expect it to be. HubSpot reporting is …
I think that the Lightning platform is not as clean and doesn't integrate that well. Whenever I was logged out, it was such a treck to have to log back in and I never actually knew if my activity was being saved or actually being tracked. Personally, Lightning is not my …
Close and Salesforce are two very different beasts. Close is much more user friendly but lacks the ability to serve complex infrastructures and hierarchies provided by Salesforce. Close is much simpler and faster--great for high volume but will not provide you with rich, …
Salesforce App Cloud provides a very easy way for you to install apps as well as deploy your own apps. You are, however, limited to the Salesforce marketplace and the requirements that they have for apps to be published in their marketplace. Even so, it's still fairly easy to …
