What is Salesforce CMS?

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Personalization (formerly Salesforce CMS) is a hybrid CMS allowing users to author content once and deliver it anywhere, in or out of Salesforce. Users create content, define content access, and define channels so they can share content and limit access to appropriate contributors. For an experience built with Salesforce, users can choose from two of the company's “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” (WYSIWYG) tools: Experience Builder and Commerce Page Designer. If the user wants to deliver content onto a third-party site, experience, or mobile app, the system's headless APIs can deliver the content. Salesforce' "unlimited" content management for experiences at scale is available at $10,000 per org / per month.

  • Customizability - even out of the box, I am able to accomplish that majority of the workflows needed by the organization.
  • Reporting - dashboards are easy to put together, display data in a digestible and cohesive way, and there are few limits on ways that we can capture and report on specific data points.
  • Trailhead - I have run into several issues with Trailhead articles directing me to an Error 404 page, and with inconsistent product naming conventions (Community Cloud vs Experience Cloud etc) which make for a confusing journey when implementing.
  • Salesforce Inbox - the integration for Gmail/Salesforce for logging emails is rather archaic and step-heavy. It would be ideal to implement some AI that can detect the account & opportunity outright, as well as fast-track the ability to create new contacts.

  • Manages conflicts between sales teams.
  • Keeps track of call/contact history.
  • One place for all sorts of information.
  • Salesforce takes forever to load a page.
  • Lot of awkwardness when updating records. It won't let updates be made if something changed on the back-end while you were working on a record.
  • Easier way to review and develop reports.

  • Content creation can be done in several languages.
  • Content can be viewed and used in multiple countries at once.
  • Collections are allowed to make static lists which should be dynamic in nature.
  • Defining the rules of Salesforce CMS is difficult.
  • There should be an [easy] tick box option.

  • Easy to use, just like Salesforce's other products. Many users can sit down and figure it out in no time, and with a little training become power users.
  • Fast and secure - Salesforce is a leader in the cloud world so you get consistently fast results and security that is top notch in the industry.
  • Accessible from anywhere - if you use cloud CMS already this is a no-brainer, but for those that do in-house CMS still, this is a major difference. Mobile access from anywhere on the planet without a VPN is something you just can't do without the cloud.
  • The interface for keeping things organized could use some improvement, with more options for tagging and sorting. It's not bad but there are better interfaces out there.
  • Reporting and dashboards on content would be a nice addition, and is something that will probably be coming.
  • It can be tough to get a public URL for image content - the kind you would embed into a page. The interface wants to drive you to the interactive page which is great in most cases but when you just want a direct URL it can be tough to find. The official documentation from Salesforce tells you to right click save as on the preview page, where instead they should have it built in to the interface and displayed somewhere.
