The Salesforce Platform is designed for building and deploying scalable cloud applications with managed hardware provisioning and app stacks. Lightning Web Components are used by developers to build reusable UI components.
I've used SharePoint a lot. We've used a handful of other bespoke previous, like jula based clients for talking to customers, Jula based platform, some other open source ones, but most of the companies I work for already have a footprint in Salesforce, so it's usually the, …
This fits into the mold with the other Salesforce services. Once you get used to the suite and the nuances of each platform, things become easy. Just read any documentation first, as jumping in will only get you so far, and the more connections with the other apps, the more …
Hubspot CSM is a bit easier to use, but not as strong for bigger markets like enterprise. Also, it's a bit annoying having to log into different platforms. Being able to do everything directly in Salesforce is pretty nice.
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 …
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 I considered it somewhat outdated, and it does not have any of the modern features that the Salesforce Lightning Platform (formerly Salesforce App Cloud) has.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 …
We haven't used anything exactly like Salesforce App Cloud, but in the end we decided to use our own development environment/process and deploy via Heroku. Therefore, I can't speak to how App Cloud compares to other more integrated solutions, but for our needs it was easier to …
If you have a large customer base and a large amount of data on each of your customers, it is really strong in creating personalized content that your salespeople can use in their pitch meetings—and then setting up workflows for automated for lifecycle journey creations to automatically go out to customers.
It's very good, but it's still living in a little bit in an older design aspect, but I think a lot of it is about to come out, just hasn't quite gotten there yet. Still a little clunky from a you have to know it to know it or you know it to use it. It takes a little bit of training to get into it. It's not quite the, anybody can come in and start using it immediately, type feel.
I am not an administrator so there may very well be outstanding Support and I am just not privy to it. On a user level it's hard to gauge the effectiveness and responsiveness of Support because nearly everything has to go through an administrator
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. Certain reps were chosen to experiment with it and from there a decision was made to move forward. We've been customers ever since.
