Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce.com

We use Salesforce as a sales CRM.
  • I haven't seen any software that does so many things this poorly
  • UI is not intuitive at all
  • Guess a monopoly in the space really means shit design and you can get away with it
  • Poor UI
  • Super annoying - password needs to be reset every quarter
  • Information overload
  • It has had an extremely negative impact. We have had to hire people just to manage it

Read my detailed review notes
Almost nonexistent and poor self help docs.
I moved from another CRM to Salesforce and I now regret it. I didn't know I could hate a piece of software as much as the entire team hates Salesforce. This sucks as a CRM shareholder (I own some stock). I guess this is the power of monopoly in a space. Even though everything is shit, they still keep making money
